Safire: I admit I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure you still need to get the suppressor you build registered on a Form 1 and get the tax stamp, per federal law.

I stand corrected. You still need to fill out the form 1 and pay your $200 for the suppressor.

As far as Ares products go, I got one of their piston kits a while back, (2005) and I haven't had an issue with it. Shoots any ammo I run through it, whether it be brass or steel, laquered or not. So far about 15000 rounds no problem. Just to give you a perspective on their quality control.
