Someone with a CAD compatible setup for Suppressor Build Around New Orleans

I'm about to file my paperwork for a form 1 suppressor and trying to get some things lined up before its time to build it. Does anyone know anyone that has mill/lathe/drill machine that can use my the CAD files to build? I will be building a monocore instead of baffles.

Dammit! I was told that as long as I was there with my form 1, it would be fine.

Maybe I missed something, but it looks like I can do it under the "instruction or supervision" of the machine shop. Which is exactly what I would like to do. I would love for someone to instruct me on how to use the CNC machine for this process.

A business (including an association or society) may not avoid the manufacturing license,
marking, and recordkeeping requirements under the GCA simply by allowing individuals to
initiate or manipulate a CNC machine, or to use machinery, tools, or equipment under its
dominion or control to perform manufacturing processes on blanks, unfinished frames or
receivers, or incomplete weapons. I

All you need is a 2-liter bottle, electrical tape, and a 1911. It works in the movies. Must be true.

That says 'a business'. What if it's just a guy with a good set-up at his house and not a business though? I would think that if you could find a fellow hobbyist with the equipment to work on it with, that would be fine. He wouldn't be able to charge you I guess.

Thanks. I would really like to do this project and would really love to have someone to show me how to use the machine to do it. If anyone is willing to "watch me" or "instruct me" on how to do it...that would be awesome! Anyone know anyone around here with a CNC machine?
