5.0 out of 5 stars Very detailed book, January 7, 2009

By	Clayton M. Jewell - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I think that this book was very detailed and was a great book on how to build silencers. When I bought the book I didn't know anything about silencers and not only did it teach me how to make them but also the backround behind silencers and when and how they started. And the silencers work great!!!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Home Workshop Silencers, January 19, 2009

By	Joseph C. Durocher (COLORADO) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The word "Silencer" is incorrect. It is properly called a "Suppressor". Is interesting to read. Being in R&D with firearms, anyone who reads it, PLEASE just read it. You make one, you get caught, (and you will get caught) you go to jail, and don't pass go. Enjoy the book only as I did.
