I'm getting one for my RRA AR15 and I just want to know if I'm considering all my options

I've looked at

Gemtech
Surefire
YHM
AAC

Are there any other reputable manufacturers I should consider? As of now I'm leaning toward a QD YHM Phantom

Also, I was told at my gun shop a couple days ago the current wait to get a tax stamp processed is 10 to 11 months! Is this typical?

Thanks!

Don't leave out OPS INC suppressors

6-7 months is current wait time.

Thanks, I also just found out about
Liberty Supressors and SAS (supressed armament systems)

Anyone know which ones you can take apart to clean? I know Gem-Tech doesn't recommend cleaning theirs. But I'm a little OCD. I want something I know I can clean out.

Thanks for sharing that link. Looks like a possible option. Do you have, or have you used one of theirs?

I shot their 7.62 can on a 5.56 bolt gun at Silencers Are Legal in Dallas.  It had a little sharper tone than the same gun with a 5.56 can on it.  I was impressed with the ease of disassembly using a common wrench.  When I asked about the sound quality of the 7.62 can on a 5.56 rifle, Steve the owner, said "Lets go find out".  He reconfigured a can on the spot wih the correct thread adapter and down to the range we went.

Also can't beat their warrenty to fix anything except problems caused by "stupid".  

I went to the shoot to look at an integral 10/22 barrel from another manufacturer but ended up ordering Huntertown's T22 barrel instead.  I might have it in time for next years SAL in April.

I have a Kestrel 22 and Kestrel 556 pending right now. My dealer said its comparable to what a sparrow suppressor is like. I never actually shot mine yet, but the quality seems nice. The serial number are on the first two inches of the can, and it separates (Unthreads) there in the middle. If theres any damage most likely will happen at the end. Totally serviceable. This is my first suppressors so when they come back and I get something to compare to I will be more informed. Check out you tube, they have a few videos. Check back and let us know what you decide.
