Adding a Flash supressor

Don357 · 04-14-2008, 04:16 PM

A fellow gunsmith (who has been in the business WAY longer than I ) were talking and I mentioned adding a flash supressor to my CAI CETME. He said that it was really more trouble than it's worth. He said that a manufacturers license was required and the gunwould have to be inspected by the ATF before and after installation along with fees and taxes to change the rifle's status. I've never heard of this. I guess it was possible during the "Ban" years, but how about now?

I just "did it myself" a month or so ago??(http://www.gunandgame.com/forums/g3-...e-rifle-2.html (Post your Spanish Lady pics! (Cetme Rifle)) about the second half of the second page is my tribulations with the fellas.) I have gotten all the advice needed on this forum and a few pics from others and never heard of such a thing. The Flash Suppressor was illegal during the ban I'm pretty sure. Now they are readily available at every online store. In fact I have an extra. I'm completely happy about my new suppressor and would definitely do it again.
