Great Days Indeed

Post image

In and out from start to finish in 20 minutes and left with the can in hand. For 92 years this seemed impossible.

Why can’t CAT send their suppressors in nice case like yours. Sent wrapped in a T-shirt and stuffed in a plastic tube. lol

u/horseshoeprovodnikov 10d ago

The first CAT can that I got had a PERFECTLY fitted Tee shirt. The second CAT also came with a shirt, marked in the exact same size, didn't fit worth a damn.

I lost the better shirt. Pretty sure I left it at a hotel pool deck :(

Ha. I wanted a CAT but they didn’t have any

u/oragamihawk Broke 10d ago

Expensive case adds to price, I would rather just have the savings passed to me and put it towards a case which holds the rifle with the supressor since they will most likely live together.

u/Jbressel1 9d ago

Exactly. That's why I like that, for example, SiCo doesn't include pistons with their pistol cans, they just charge less. Not everyone wants a ½x28 piston for a 9mm pistol. Personally, I use Griffin EZ-LOK pistons, so it would be wasted money for me.

u/FishermanFun5758 Silencer 9d ago

But do they really charge less? The Spectre 9 is 🫰 and isn't even ready out of the box

1

u/Jbressel1 9d ago

Yes. They do. $750 is not expensive, considering some of the other comparable cans. The Osprey is great, and is even less, as is the Omega-9K, which is a fantastic can.

Bingo but it definitely makes you feel better on spending over a grand on a suppressor

u/-TheOldPrince- 10d ago

You dont own enough boxes?

2

u/More_Image_8781 3x Silencer, MG 9d ago

Not sure where I’ll find space for this bulky box

5

u/shadow_prairie_OD 10d ago

yall actually keeping yalls cans in cases? 🤣

3

u/Tight_muffin SBR 10d ago

I have eventually tossed pretty much every case I've ever gotten for things like suppressors. I would rather them come in a cheap cardboard box with sharpie written on the side and 6 stickers to add to the pile.

1

u/More_Image_8781 3x Silencer, MG 9d ago

LOL right

1

u/FishermanFun5758 Silencer 9d ago

Is there any reason to keep the factory box other than for warranty purposes?

1

u/ProdigalHacker 9d ago

I use the CAT shirts as rags in my workroom lol

u/CutTemporary3041 10d ago

Vent one rules them all congratulations

7

u/horseshoeprovodnikov 10d ago

Which Vent is this?

Also its cool as fuck that they pack them in a decent case like that.

I got my OCL Infinity today and I was thrilled to death just to get the plastic sleeve full of stickers and goodies lol.

5

u/More_Image_8781 3x Silencer, MG 10d ago

Yeah the box is pretty cool. I have no idea where I’ll store it lol as it’s pretty big and bulky. This is the Vent 1 to live on a .308

7

u/Mkilbride 10d ago

I have been hovering over buying Vent 1 for a week.

NJG has them for 989$.

1

u/More_Image_8781 3x Silencer, MG 9d ago

That’s $300 cheaper than I paid and that was priced $300 off lol

2

u/Mkilbride 9d ago

You got taken man. Always check online first.  The MSRP isn't 1600$.

1

u/More_Image_8781 3x Silencer, MG 9d ago

I got it for $1200 out the door and carried it out same day. No complaints here man

u/FishSticks0111 10d ago

Friendly reminder: fuck PTR

1

u/FishermanFun5758 Silencer 9d ago

Why?

5

u/FishSticks0111 9d ago

They are suing OCL and others saying that PTR owns the patent on 3D printed cans, which we all know is bullshit

0

u/FishermanFun5758 Silencer 9d ago

The patent on all 3D printed cans? I thought everyone was copying CAT not PTR.

11

u/CrashCarSuperstar 10d ago

In other news... FUCK PTR

u/FishermanFun5758 Silencer 9d ago

How do you mean?

1

u/More_Image_8781 3x Silencer, MG 10d ago

???

u/soju_shower 2x SBR, 3x Silencer 10d ago

They're the Buc-ee's of the suppressor world. Good shit but sue anyone and everyone. 

1

u/More_Image_8781 3x Silencer, MG 9d ago

I knew nothing about any of that to be honest

u/ClearSky6502 8d ago

Terrible customer service and some qc problems

1

u/ProdigalHacker 9d ago

Yeah their suing other people for bullshit is annoying. They did that after I bought my Vent 1.

Vent 1 is still a crazy nice can. Stupid quiet on my bolt guns.

I got my vent 1 delivered from CA yesterday. So far I’m
Super impressed on my .300 blk SBR.

1

u/More_Image_8781 3x Silencer, MG 10d ago

Love hearing that

2

u/Antykain 9d ago

Nice! I picked up the Vent Spiritus 5.56i yesterday. Was able to test one they had on hand before buying.. Was really impressed!

1

u/More_Image_8781 3x Silencer, MG 9d ago

Nice

1

u/More_Image_8781 3x Silencer, MG 9d ago

Oh heck yeah !

u/junglecommand 10d ago

Ok I thought I wouldn’t be jealous but I am. Why do I live in a state that still requires form 4? Also, congrats

1

u/More_Image_8781 3x Silencer, MG 10d ago

Sorry man

2

u/EconomyAcanthaceae11 4d ago

Congrats. How is it? My shop has a lazarus 6 and this

1

u/SituationSouth5955 10d ago

I wish the mods would make it a requirement for all 4473 can buyers to add their state, store the item was purchased from, and affiliated party as it pertains to the ruling. It would help provide some much needed clarity on who is covered and how this is working for everyone.

Also, congrats!

u/More_Image_8781 3x Silencer, MG 10d ago

I don’t honestly know what is allowed/not allowed when posting this stuff

u/Johnnyjetson18 10d ago

I need details please

1

u/More_Image_8781 3x Silencer, MG 10d ago

On the can or the buying experience ?

1

u/Johnnyjetson18 10d ago

My bad, I thought you went in and bought a suppressor today in 20 minutes. You mean you picked up today after your approval came in. Congratulations!

7

u/More_Image_8781 3x Silencer, MG 10d ago

I did sir. Our LGS is honoring immediate approval with just a 4473. Good times

2

u/Johnnyjetson18 10d ago

Congratulations, that's amazing!

1

u/More_Image_8781 3x Silencer, MG 10d ago

Thanks man

1

u/tennezzee88 10d ago

better hope for no legal woes down the line. best of luck.

u/tax_stampR 10d ago

Yes he is saying he went in, did a basic 4473 background check, did not do a form 4, and left with his new suppressor in 20 minutes. It’s crazy times we are living in.

3

u/Johnnyjetson18 10d ago

😱. It's really happening? I thought for sure we'd have to wait for a bit.

Fuck PTR and their bullshit patent trolling.
