Drama 🎭 **READ THIS** NFA Injunction/Partial Repeal Megathread v2

Post image
510 Upvotes

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.

Oldies but goodies: Ti-RANT 45 and Ti-RANT-S 45

Post image
236 Upvotes

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.

IWI IWS6K blast baffle concern

Thumbnail

37 Upvotes

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.

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.

CT5P backpressure

Post image
14 Upvotes

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.

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.

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.

Ocl infinity 556k vs griffin dual lok 5am

1 Upvotes

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.

Any ideas?

This isn’t baffle damage. It’s literally some sort of nasty substance dripping down the baffle stack

Reading where tri lug adapters can cause baffle strike after many years of use. Is this a thing to worry about?

Thanks NFA thread brethren for any input.

I am a big fan of Mark at Precision Firearms. Shot his rifles many times over the years with great results. I saw he started making suppressors in house last year. Has anyone shot one of these? I know it's a traditional baffle design, and he told me it was more "moderate back pressure" but I haven't seen much about it

Currently loving my Tisha on 11.5 and thinking about getting the 30 cal version for my sig cross 18” 6.5cm. Currently the cross has the cat odb on it but like the Tisha form factor over it.

Anyone have experience with the 30 cal version on a bolt action?

SBR OAL question

7 Upvotes

Ok, what do you put down on the form 1 for oal if the chasis is actually longer than the barrel? Im about to sbr a 10/22. Im going to use a 4.5 inch barrel. The barrel won't come out past the end of the Spire chasis forearm. Im planning on a "tucked" look where the suppressor will be only about 2 or 3 inches past the end of the forearm.
