So question, does they count as getting a new suppressor and require a new tax stamp or can they count it as a rebuild or something and just do it?

Either way it would definitely suggest not buying anything from Dead Air if they're that much hassle people would do this.

They destroy your old can, the stamp is no longer, then you get a new can and a new stamp.

Ah gotcha. Not as great an option then.

I'm guessing that as long as the tube isn't damaged then they're going to recore it and that won't need a stamp. Some of the Sierra 5 failures I've seen lead to a damaged tube and that's not as fixable.

I wasn't sure if that was a thing or not. Either way they are clearly making hay while their competition drops ball.

Do you have any NFA items? Stamps are attached to the serial number of the item.

I've got one SBR, but my understanding was that the receiver is the only NFA item. If I take that receiver and put different parts on it it's still the same item. So unless every part of a suppressor is the serialized part I'd assume they could rebuild the suppressor using the serialized part.

P 175 of the ATF supplied NFA handbook discusses who can repair a silencer. Basically anyone who's a gunsmith and has an FFL can do it as long as the serial number isn't being touched.

You also can’t replace the entire tube. Not sure any manufacturers mark them anywhere other than the tube, but a lot of Form 1 builders did before they changed the rules.

I think I have 10 F1 cans, and none of them are marked on the tubes. But I can’t legally replace everything other than the engraved adapter or end cap.

For example, ECCO did a recore on three of mine where he kept a piece of my original tube as the blast chamber and then welded on a tubeless stack of baffles…even though the tube isn’t marked.

Yeah, they don’t want to get into the “Gemtax” situation.
