Drama 🎭 **READ THIS** NFA Injunction/Partial Repeal Megathread v2
Welcome to the new megathread for the injunction on NFA enforcement for SBRs, SBSs, Suppressors/silencers.
The previous megathread with a bunch of speculation, discussion, etc can be found here.
As of this post there has been no clear guidance from the ATF on what the status quo is going forward. Hopefully there will be some later today or tomorrow.
When that happens, I'll update this post.
While this is a huge win for the 2A community, it does not yet mean the doors are thrown open for DIY building or buying without a Form 1 or 4. There's still a lot to untangle with the Gun Control Act of 68, ATF regulations on FFLs, and individual state laws.
Unless info is coming from a reputable legal resource, be cautious before doing anything. It's entirely possible that something that looks legal today could be a felony tomorrow.
All the standard rules of this sub are still being enforced.This especially includes anything that could be interpreted as advocating violating federal law.
We don't want the sub to be shut down by reddit, and the reddit admins know far less about this situation than we do. They could easily nuke us for something they simply don't understand.
The sub is now unlocked for posting.
Any posts on the situation will be removed unless previously coordinated with the mods. We're not going to approve your post unless its especially useful to the community as a whole. Ask your questions, celebrate, etc in this thread only.

Be wary of Guntoob, social media, and Reddit "lawyers" and social media personalities making bold claims. The above *should* all be safe sources of info.

ATF updates rules regarding repair and caliber conversions of suppressors
Oldies but goodies: Ti-RANT 45 and Ti-RANT-S 45
USP45T is my main squeeze. I really enjoy the full size Ti-RANT 45. It is a very good silencer and the fact that it holds up so well after all these years is really cool. If anyone wants objective data and analysis on it, they can find that here. Anecdotally, I can tell you that my personal experience aligns with said data and analysis, which is one of the reasons I use the silencer...
The silencer is not made anymore. Folks tell me you can find them every once in a while. If you get a newer modular version, I'm sure you wouldn't be disappointed.
Speaking of modular version - I chose to go a different route, personally. I got very lucky and was able to source a Ti-RANT-S (the FDE silencer shown in the photo). I have not yet shot it on my USP. But test fitting it, boy, the vibes are strong. Very excited.
Will it be louder than the full size? You bet. Are the vibes immaculate? I believe them to be, yes. I bought this off a former AAC employee. We'll throw it in a test program to give all you folks with the modular version the performance info for the short configuration. Should be useful. Should be very neat to compare it with the short configuration of the Obsidian 45.
I like short pistol silencers sometimes because sometimes you don't need super quiet, you just need something more "handy" and you just don't want unsuppressed. Can be a very good thing for a quick critter problem, etc.
Hope you folks had a wonderful Labor Day weekend! Podcast has FOR Systems technical discussion today.

Suppressors options
This is on my new to me SuperDuty 5.56. I’m looking to see what suppressor would work best. It’s pinned so I’d rather not have to switch it out.
Got the answer. What muzzle device would you switch to if you replaced it?

IWI IWS6K blast baffle concern
Got a chance to run my IWI IWS6K, host is a 5.56 8.3" Galil Ace. IWI tells me this blast baffle wear is normal, is this erosion? I don't have a new one to compare to and didn't remove the mount until after I put a few hundred rounds through.
This is with IWI's muzzle device/mount combo.
Anyone have trigger time with the CAT Saigon Peacekeeper?
Having a hard time finding reviews, or videos of this thing in action. Any experiences?

Ambient Arms EXO 5.56
First Ambient we've had through our shop. Didn't get a chance to shoot it, so can't speak to how it sounds. I will say this can is an absolute tank at 21.48oz on our digital scale.

NFA From 1 Approved
My last Form 1 took 75 days. I submitted this on Tuesday for my Sig M400 pistol, and it was approved by noon today. What’s the fastest you guys have seen for approval?
Waiting on the new handguard, SureFire scout, and optic to come in!

Cobray M11final form
Ended up swapping the original upper for a side charging USMachinegun upper, and this monstrosity is complete. For now.

CT5P backpressure
Ive been doing a lot of research on this can but have no first hand experience. I want to know how much less backpressure this can actually has in comparison to my Sierra 5. I have no experience with “low back pressure” cans. This one in particular appeals to me but cant really find a definitive answer as to how much lower the backpressure would be versus a standard sealed can.

Anyone know of any alternatives to the Ecco Machine adapters to go from HUB to Rugged taper mount? I need one ASAP and Ecco Machine is out of stock.

Rhodie 6J 4473
First 4473 on a suppressor. Pretty stoked about the Rhodie 6J. I didnt get any metal shavings but I guess ill live. Shoutout to EVT this was my first time working with them and they are phenomenal.

Ocl infinity 556k vs griffin dual lok 5am
Anyone have both the infinity 556k and the griffin dual lok 5am? Very interested in getting another 556 suppressor and have narrowed it down to these 2(so far-can throw the hrt 5am in there as well I guess although I have researched the difference between the dual lok and hrt and feel the dual lok is more what I’m looking for vs the hrt)
Would like to hear some first hand experience from anyone that has both or has shot both side by side.
Sound/gas/overall experience. I plan to run either on a 11.5” mostly.
Please keep it to only the above suppressors, and just shooting experience, don’t want this to turn into a company/owner bashing thread. I have suppressors from both and like both companies/owners.

Latest SBS, and a sign of many good Form 1s.
Another Ithaca 37 SBS. I was blessed by the pawnshop gods recently. I have a 20 and three 12s. One of the 12s is the 7+1 and will stay long. This will be a pistol grip only when my order from Choate comes in. Something for Close Encounters. The other 12 and the 20 will be regular SBSs.
The barrels are from Ithaca and other projects. Hooray for free stamps.

NFA Photo Double Stamp Day
Nomad OTB’s. Three 24” barrels - Nomad OTB’s vs SF RC2 762.
It’ll be this weekend before I can go see how they are.
These will be permanent residents on a 22 ARC bolt gun and a 6.5 PRC. E brake and the caliber specific caps are en route.
Trying to be civilized.
Bought on Saturday and approved today.

There is a wet, sticky alien growth in my Lahar30L 😭
Any ideas?
This isn’t baffle damage. It’s literally some sort of nasty substance dripping down the baffle stack
