Can they be rebuilt once they are shot out? I was interested in these as well.
Sure. Just head down to your local hardware store and buy the same diameter flat washers that the suppressor came with. Then when you burn holes through them just repeat. There's probably no more than $20 in material in that can. You'd actually be money ahead to just pay for a F1 stamp and go buy the same tube and flat washers for $20 and assemble it yourself
ETA: Or just save up an extra $130 and buy a YHM turbo with a lifetime warranty. And it's made of inconel and 17-4.
Thanks for the reply. I am looking for my first suppressor and admittedly know very little about them.

Last I knew it was not legal for the end user to re-core the can unless they have the right license. Form 1 is not that option either.
It's debatable really. On a F1 you're the manufacturer, so naturally you should be able to repair your own can since you manufactured it. There's no language in NFA that states a F1 made suppressor cannot be repaired by the person who made it. Now any joe definitely can't repair another manufacturer's can
Witt machine sells cans for everything under 500 with a stamp. Direct thread, kind of heavy, not top tier but they are good cans that won't break the bank. That is the cheapest I'd go. I've got 2. The 9mm can is a super can for a carbine, my 22 can is still waiting on a stamp
You can't repair a form 1 can you built. You can't even replace wipes. The atf opinion letters are available. You're not technically a manufacturer unless you're FFL'd apprpriately, you're the builder so it is a different set of rules when it comes to repairs. Mainly that you are not allowed to do anything but assemble the can initially.
Spare washers would be considered wipes and therefore suppressor parts, these are not user replaceable.
Sorry man, dont believe that's correct. Show me the letter from the ATF that specifically states an individual as the manufacturer of the can cannot repair it. Also, you can replace wipes yourself. It has to be a 1 for 1. You cannot make and store spare parts. Even Dead Air has stated this
ETA: I'm not telling anyone to just go and start rebuilding their own F1 cans. I'm just stating that to my knowledge there hasn't been any scrutiny given in regards to the maker of the F1 can doing a repair themselves
I've already previously read that from Josh. From that it most certainly sounds like repairing your own F1 is a no go, but also no one has challenged the ATF on it either. Josh was presuming that's the position they'd take if it ever came up in a court case. That was also in 2016. How many times have the changed their minds on pistol braces and wipes? Disclaimer: don't write the ATF asking for clarification
