For those of you who own a Makarov (9x18) pistol and want to silence it but lack the metal working equipment needed to manufacture most silencerzs then this file is foryou.

The following is from: More Workbench Silencers by George M. Hollenback

Materials needed:

+ 12 x 1 3/8 inch brass plumbing tube

+ 3/4 x 1/2 inch CPVC bushing

+ 1 x 3/4 PVC bushing (threaded)

+ 1 x 1/2 inch pvc bushing

+ barrel press and pin punch for the makarov pistol

+ threaded barrel thread protector for the pistol

+ cardboard, pencil, ruler, X-acto knife, epoxy

First remove the "fixed barrel" so that the extended threaded barrel may be attached.

Next Epoxy the thead protector into the 3/4 x 1/2 inch bushing.

Now Epoxy the 3/4 x 1/2 bushing into the 1 x 3/4 bushing.

The 1 x 3/4 bushing is then glued to the tube; cardboard washers are adeed and the 1 x 1/2 bushing is glued to the opposite end.

The silencer can now be installed on the firearm.

Here is how to construct cardboad washers:

Create a grid of squares on the cardboard that will of appropiate size for your suppresor. Cris-cross the squares to find the center the draw a circles for the washer and the bullet diameter in the center. Cut out the square and cut until the washer is roughly circular. The washers metioned here allow for a better over all fit than strait circles.
