Ahhh crap how do I know if my can is SBR rated? I have to assume it is because I've used it on my SBRs with no issues.

I love mine too. Someone further down wrote "addictive" and I have to agree. I would like to purchase one or two more suppressors.Quote:

Good book keeping will probably make it so you won't be screwed but it may take more work on your end. LFI in Johnstown is a suppressor dealer and I think Ironhorse Armory in Parker is one as well with multiple brands. I have purchased items from both places and very happy with both of them.Quote:

I don't know why but I submitted my form 4 for two suppressors and a form 1 (I filled that out as I was building it) form my SBR at the same time and my form 1 took 45 days longer to get approved. I work with a guy that submitted two form 1's (SBR and for an SBS) and they took about 16 months. He received them back with highlighted fields they wanted fixed. He did so and then had his approval in another month.
I chose a Hybrid for being universal and not suppressing the most sound. I can take it off one weapon system and put it on another. I have already used on two different rifles and need to try it out on a pistol yet. You can look at each can and their site will tell you what their decibel reduction rating is, probably in the neighborhood of 30 db. Another reason why a lot of people run .300 BLK because they can find ammo that produces less decibels. A hyrbrid will let your run it on something like that if you purchase it down the road. I believe Gemtech also makes a suppressor that is more "universal."
I'd say unless you're in the jungles of Southeast Asia fightin the Cong, go with something universal to save your money. They are addictive. I believe veterans also qualify for the program SilencerCO offers to get half off MSRP on suppressors (which isn't quite half because MSRP is always way more). There are only a few dealers in the state that can do that. I imagine the other companies offer something similar.
The ATF is a weird animal.
I do quick mount muzzle devices since I don't have a dedicated rifle for one can.Quote:

Down the road I would love to purchase a CZ Scorpion and try a suppressor out on that.
Manufacturer's website should say for your model; if not, you could contact and ask. The failure resultant from too short a barrel might not be immediate, if the can is on a host system outside of its tolerance specs for muzzle blast/pressure/whatever the term is.Quote:

Now, I could probably get away with a shorter barrel, but the can is not designed for it and it would likely kill the can over the long run. Failure might not be immediate. Could be a few hundred rounds. Maybe thousands. I'm not going to find out and will just stick with the boundaries as expressed by the manufacturer.
Next can will be SBR rated for sure.
Ark Tactical in Lakewood
and
DangerLee Industies in Elizabeth
are 2 reputable, forum member owned businesses.
Good point. I didn't even think to push member owned stuff.Quote:
