I saw 45Bravo's moderator. Looks very good. Why does the original one require a tax stamp ?

Reduces the original report by about 2 decibels.

Any reduction in noise requires a tax stamp.

The inside has baffles/expansion chambers.

Because it reduced the sound by a couple of dB's.

You really could not tell the difference. I put a lot of rounds through a GAU 5/A/A and it was just as loud as an M-16.

Only 2 db's ! A lot of Govt regulations are D.F.

ATF still claims it's a silencer.

Largely because it does reduce noise when a .22LR kit is used. Doesn't do didley on .223 though.

Where the baffles put in it to reduce sound or compensate better?

To reduce the sound of the short XM barrel to a level close to the 20" rifle barrel.
