You CAN build your own. One. More than one, you are a manufacturer.

Not true at all.
If you tape a 2 liter bottle on the muzzle of your gun with the
"intent" of making it quieter you are in violation of NFA34 even if
it actually made it louder.

10 years and a $10,000 fine.

Not if you get the stamp first. That is, one stamp allows you to
make one silencer. To make more than one silencer, you need multiple
stamps - or register as a manufacturer.

Where did you hear that?
Your information is seriously flawed. You can't fill out the
application until you have the serial number of the device.

Sigh.

: Application to Make A Firearm

479.62 - Application to make.

No person shall make a firearm unless the person has filed with the Director
a written application on Form 1 (Firearms), Application to Make and Register
a Firearm, in duplicate, executed under the penalties of perjury, to make
and register the firearm and has received the approval of the Director to
make the firearm ... If the making is taxable, a remittance in the amount of
$200 shall be submitted with the application in accordance with the
instructions on the form. If the making is taxable and the application is
approved, the Director will affix a National Firearms Act stamp to the
original application in the space provided therefor and properly cancel the
stamp... "

Note a "silencer" or "suppressor" is a "firearm" (as is a land mine or hand
grenade) for purposes of this chapter.
