LAWS HAVE TIGHTENED!!!
Please understand that the manufacture, sale, and ownership of a suppressing device in the United States is ILLEGAL!!! (unless you have a Tax Stamp, are a Class II/III license holder, and if you have an ATF signed and aproved Form 1)
I do NOT want a fellow airsofter getting in trouble for such a retarded law, but it is illegal to make any device that can potentially deaden the report of a real firearm by a minimum of -8db.
I would highly suggest that you say they are "mock" suppressors/ silencers when posting about a suppressor you have made, or added to your replica. I really don't want any of you guys getting in trouble with the law, its a very heavy fine, and there could be up to 10 years in prison! I'll look up the specific ATF laws for you if you want, but if it can suppress an airsoft gun, chances are, it can suppress a real gun. and unfortunately, all the ATF needs to convict you is an 8db decrease in sound with a "home made" suppressor.
I'm sure its not a big deal on this website, but please believe me when i say to be careful with making these things!
