Quoted: While this applies to any suppressor of course. It especially applies to rimfire cans. Pick what’s important to you, prioritize that, it’ll help narrow down your options. Stuff like modularity, ease of cleaning, lightest weights, shortest OAL/diameter. I like modular rimfire cans. Short configuration is great on compact hosts, and gassy/dirty hosts and long configuration on everything else. I also like materials that can be ultrasonic cleaned. Not all brands are on here but it can help when trying to compare. I like my AAC and Rugged rimfire cans. My EA Nyx Mod 2 should be delivered to my house this week.

I would guess the reason they hold up Trusts, is they simply do not want people submitting them.. And want us all to do Individual forms.. |

According to ATF, trusts take longer because they have to be reviewed for state and federal compliance, and more background checks for each of the RPs. That part makes sense. Individual transfers are currently less labor intensive and easier to approve, but ATF says a process to streamline trust approvals is being implemented in the next few months. Is there a political agenda behind the process to make approvals faster? No doubt. |

God damn I'm getting tired of hearing about fast approvals.
My hat's off to all you guys getting approved quick, but I have to admit I'm getting a little jealous. Bought two suppressors almost 2 years ago on a trust. Denied a year in because my idiot dealer forgot to send in a fingerprint card. Resubmitted in August and still waiting. I'm starting to think I should order a few more as an individual to see if they get approved before my trust ones do. |

The pool of available examiners. The trust requires the legal instrument examiner reviewing it. Individual submissions can be worked by Karen from HR, a contractor, or simply set to auto approve upon BGC completion and correct/complete form. None of them have been signed anyways since January 1. |

Like I say I wait I guess,,If nothing at 5 months maybe I will have my Congressman inquire..That will likely do no good either though..

Quoted: Supressors are mostly out of stock now. View Quote My last 2 cans were fairly cheap. A Turbo K for $280 and a Rex Silentium MG7 for $320.

I think I'm going to finally bite the bullet. Been wanting an all around rifle suppressor for awhile.
For those with more knowledge and experience (in addition to helping out others like me in this tread), give me a list of four or five 30cal suppressors to look into for use on my 5.56 and 7.62 ARs. |

Hell, maybe we'll eventually be able to argue "in common use" and overturn the NFA! As for lists.... I'm already on ALL of them. Fuck it. |

For those with more knowledge and experience (in addition to helping out others like me in this tread), give me a list of four or five 30cal suppressors to look into for use on my 5.56 and 7.62 ARs. View Quote I won't say what you should buy, but it should be Hub compatible and lightweight. Short is also a plus. People get wrapped around suppression levels but it's a bit of a joke. Most cartridge/host/can combinations aren't hearing safe anyway. Low back pressure or flow-through designs are not quiet by comparison to traditional designs on a bolt-action host, but they keep you from having to mess with the host rifle too much (auto-loaders specifically). Overbore cans are nice because they give you future options and reduce back-pressure by nature (think 458 caliber can on a 5.56 host, or 308 on a 5.56, etc.). You can't go wrong with most of the modern cans. You will eventually despise the suppressor if you only own one or two and you lock yourself into a shitty mounting system. Think AAC 18T or 51T back in the days of yore. ETA - I repeat, do not buy a heavy can. The fact that 2 lb. cans exist in 2024 is mind-boggling (excluding the 50s and such). |

I love my M4 2000 and the 51t mounts. Easy to swap and doesn't back off. Sure, I have a few hundred invested in compatible flash hiders but those things are tanks.
I prefer it to direct thread and the more expensive 3 lug or variants. But to each their own! |

Wasn't too fun when AAC was out of business. ..... I was careful too. After the first one I got really careful but I think heat ate the spring.

Quoted: I got two cans in the last month. Problem now is that because of the faster F4 times it seems like everyone is buying, so finding the can you want in stock is getting difficult. I've also heard F3 times are starting to grow longer. View Quote I am definitely seeing this. My local guns store/range that has a kiosk definitely has slim pickings not. My thought was I am have to wait might as well start the clock as soon as possible. But evidently many people wouldn't even consider buying a suppressor because of the long wait time. |

I've heard the faster times only apply to the individual Form 4 and not the Trusts. Is this true?
