I've been building them for a while now, mostly from Home depot Aluminum tubing for $10 for 3 feet.
I been doing 1" FAKE suppressors to hide longer inner barrel, never to reduce sound or muffling using fillers cotton,sponge, etc.

I want to build a 40mm X 250mm diameter one for a 500 or 509 inner barrel for a g36c next. Still trying to figure out an 1" to 40 mm diameter connector though. Mind you the thing costs $45 from airsoft parts so more likely I will just buy it from Jugglez if I can't find the 1" to 40mm connector that looks good.

As you can see from the pic, 1" tubing fits well over my spare g36 hider. I cut a strip of sprite can aluminum and wrapped it around the hinder and JB welded it to the old spare hider. I used washer on the front end and sprayed it all black.
This was a cheap thing to do because I had all the spare parts already from other projects but most of the time it would probably be cheaper and look better just buying a fake suppressor after you factor the cost for paint can, aluminum tubing, jb weld, washer, spare hider.

Recently I found out these guys sell different diameters and qualities of tubing:

Just before jb weld spare hider

Jb weld washer before sanding excess off

leting it dry after spray paint. I did 2 light coats of flat black and 1 coat of semi clear because thats what I had in my tools/paint closet.
