Howdy r/NFA!
If you have old cans sitting around that you dont shoot anymore, or would rather get something new, we can help you out!

Silencer Shop now has a trade-in program where we will give you Silencer Shop credit for your used suppressors.

We can't link (thanks Big Tech) but add /suppressor-trade-in to the site URL and you'll find everything you need. You can also find the trade-in portal in your Silencer Shop dashboard under NFA Vault.

This is number 31 for me. I did my last can on a Form 4 just to hit 30. Honestly, with the current wait times, I barely noticed a difference. That said, if it makes the process easier for the average person, I’m all for it.

Its an Otter Creek 556k! Im really happy to have it. :)

Waiting for my leather cord to arrive so I can wrap the loop. Then just need to print my new shell holders and rail panels in black. I had her setup in OD green previously.

Recently inherited this old Springfield 84C (mfg by Stevens) from my stepdad and have put an irrational amount of time and money into it.
I’m really happy with how it turned out, basically exactly how I pictured it.
Full strip/clean, wear parts replaced, stock reshaped and refinished, re-blued, chopped/threaded to 9.75”, CAT SR can, Williams target sights, Seekins SRS rail, restored leather sling also from my stepdad

Been wanting a 22lr suppressor for a while. The tiger 22 seemed like a solid option, and I found it on sale for $275. After tax, shipping, transfer fee it was around $350. Still atleast $50 less than $400 price tag I’ve seen at local gun stores near me (gun store I had it shipped to had the same can for $459). Wish it was the black version but oh well

The APC223 full auto trigger is terrible, it resets in a delayed manner. But I do still love it. Wearing a B&T USA XH-SC

Little update for my DD PCC. Got it back from Breachers Custom. He did a SD Conversion with his Handguard and Suppressor. Shooting 115gr subsonic.

I did back to back testing on the MK18 with both the 556K (using the 3-hole partial vented cap) and the Inconel Tisha. The Tisha was a tad quieter and softer shooting but the Infinity 556K is my fave/recommendation. Slightly gassier but far more consistent grouping at 100yd. The Tisha seemed to have more windage shift while the Infinity had less of a POI shift and more consistent grouping.

I was pleasantly surprised by the 556K. The weight wasn't bad at all as both were about the same. I have a bunch of other OCL Cans so I may be biased but it's a solid recommendation. If I had to do it again I'd skip the Tisha.

I also ran the Universe 36 with 9mm vented cap on the 13" AK 7.62x39, saw some flames out the end but it was the least gassy and it still made it quiet and recoil far less than without a can. Andrew was spot on with the recommendation for using the 9mm vented cap with the AK.

This is a $99 22LR-only suppressor.

An aluminum blast baffle inside a 3D printed polymer can. 1.3" diameter, 6.5" long. 3.77 ounces on my scale.

When I picked it up, I immediately shot it back-to-back-to-back with my OG Scorpius and EA NYX Mod2. All hosted on my Volquartsen Mamba X, shooting CCI SV ammo.

It was an indoor range and I was wearing ear muffs, so I cannot make very specific statements about how they compare.

I CAN say that it was definitely in the same ballpark as the other 2. Anyone that just wants a 22LR suppressor and doesn't care if it will handle any other cartridges or if it is the absolute QUIETEST one out there should absolutely consider one of these. I am very confident that it is quiet enough that I will be totally fine shooting it outdoors with no ear protection.

And did I mention it was only $99? lol!

Oh, I do think it has one downside worth noting. It is a little fatter than either of my other two. It is 1.3" diameter. The other two are 1". That makes it stick up high enough that it *might* interfere with use of iron sights. Depending on the gun, of course.

Acquired my first factory can today. Silencer Co sparrow. All my others are homebrew.

With the new 4473 sbrs, if someone in a form 4 state were to travel to a 4473 state with their sbr, would a 5320.20 still need to be filed?

The Complete 11.5" Table

In my pursuit to understand what my options were, I decided to make a table. Of everything. The table contains, to my best ability, all complete guns, complete uppers, barrels, and suitable handguards currently offered, with links. I include all the important info like price, weight, barrel info, gas systems, buffers, BCGs, handguards, upper & lower receivers, etc. I also include my own personal thoughts and notes, which you can take or leave as you see fit.

I believe this will be helpful to the community at large to get an idea of who makes what and what our options are.

Please let me know if I missed something or if something new gets introduced, as I will keep updating this table accordingly.

All the best!

Would Permatex 24125 (ceramic brake parts lubricant) or a similar high temp, metal-free/ceramic-base lubricant or anti-seize be a good choice to apply to a suppressor mount? (on the QD mount, not on the barrel threads).

I have a HUXWRX Flow 556k (mounted on their helical QD Flash Hider) and recently took it to the range but now I cannot take it off my rifle. After I manage to take it off while it’s hot (next time I go to the range), I was wondering if I should apply anything to the QD mount to prevent this from happening. I should probably also get into the habit of backing off my suppressor before letting it cool down so it doesn’t lock up again.
