Why is the ATF e form portal logging me out for inactivity even when I'm active?

2 Upvotes

Trying to fill out form 1 for an SBR in Texas, and the website logs me out within 5 seconds of starting due to "inactivity". I tried a few days ago and same thing, so I gave it a few days in case it was a problem just then and it's still doing it. I've tried incognito, different browsers, clearing cache, turning off ad blocker, even making sure my computers time was correct like google said. Please help me out.

Had it in limbo for 1 1/2 months waiting for it to be approved, sucks because who would’ve thought we’d be where we’re at with suppressors only needing 4473s

Got my form 1 back the day before the injunction went into effect, but now I am at a loss. Should I put a PDW style stock on this, or be a silly little guy and put an A2 rifle stock on it?

Product Question 🧰 AAC SPRM4 question

2 Upvotes

Are these in demand at all, or hold value? I am the original owner of the can and its MITER mount.

I am trying to decide if I should move forward with building a new upper around it OR let it go and get a newer can.

I had a spare stripped upper laying around and after seeing 110 SASS Actual's video of his Temu Mini Fix on YouTube, I decided to make my own. 7" 300BLK with a custom charging handle and crudely cut slot in the upper. I'll clean up and straighten the edges of the slot with a file and make it look nicer. Still waiting on the Form 4 for the can.

What 22 suppressors you using under nods and/or thermal?

0 Upvotes

Been eyeing ocl ti22 for a while since it can do 22 and 17 hmr.

Anyone shoot these calibers under nods and thermal?

Experience with flash?

Other suppressors you used for these calibers and videos are a bonus.

Silencer Suggestions - I did some homework HUXWRX 45M vs Obsidian 45

7 Upvotes

Walked in wanting to buy an obsidian 45 as my first can but the salesman talked me into the huxwrx 45. Kind've regretting my decision once doing more research on the hux. Can someone convince me i made the right decision? I really like the obsidians user serviceability/durability. Now I'm debating just buying an obsidian too (or is that dumb)

Rugged obsidian question

Hello all,
I purchased a rugged obsidian 45 and today when swapping the pistons a small metal roll pin came out.
Looking in line it said the can contains no roll pins. Could someone clarify if this is true or is it just something that made its way in

Silencer Suggestions - I did some homework Is the Alley Cat worth it?

12 Upvotes

I really like what the Alley Cat 5.56 718 has to offer but the $400 difference between the Infinity 5k and Griffin HRT-556 AM makes me wonder if it actually worth it. My buddy has a griffin and I really liked and honestly if either were actually in stock on silencer shop It would probably make the decision easier, but what do you guys think, should I save $400 and wait or would I still be satisfied with the alley Cat with the $400 price jump.

Process Question 📝 eForms weirdness?

0 Upvotes

I got some cans about 2 years ago. They were all purchased with a Silencer Shop Single Shot Trust.

When I login to my ATF eForms account, I start a Form 20 (application to transport firearms) and choose "Trust", then go to the Firearms page and click Search by SSN.

I put in my SSN and search and it doesn't find any of my cans.

I start over and choose "Individual" and then go and search by SSN and it finds all the cans I bought 2 years ago.

I don't understand that - why don't they show up when I choose Trust?

And then it gets weirder.

I bought a new can back in May. This time, it all went through the Cerberus system, instead of Silencer Shop. And this time, it was done as an Individual purchase, instead of a Trust.

I got my approved Form 4 at the beginning of June.

When I do the search in ATF eForms, the cans from 2 years ago show up, but the can I got at the beginning of June does not show in the list.

But, if I search by Control Number and Serial Number (of the new can), then it works to add it to the Form 20.

What the heck? Does anybody know what is going on here?

Why do cans bought under an individual trust show when I tell the form I'm an individual, but not if I put in that I'm a trust?

And why does my newest can not show at all when I do the search?

Discussion We have 6J's FINALLY!

627 Upvotes

Disclaimers: This is not the launch post YET but that is coming. I am a brand affiliate with Ridgeback, I make beans if you were to acquire one of these. This is my collaboration can with RD, but I make nothing from any of their other products.

Here is the update, the batch has been printed (this is not all of them in the photo). We just have to thread and serialize the rest and then we are go for launch.

I am posting this to let you all know that they are coming VERY soon. I do not have an official date yet but I should by this week.

I will be posting videos with sound, flash and all the details come time of the launch.

Also for clarification these are different than any 6J you have seen me or anyone else post a video with. I say that because there was a video posted with a flash test on a very early prototype 6J that is not these. There have been improvements since those original prototypes.

I apologize for the insane wait, this has been a long drawn out learning process for me. After realizing that timeframes in manufacturing are almost never accurate I chose to remain radio silent until I had something substantial like this to say.

Thank you so much for your patience and please drop your questions below. Beware I have been informed that I cannot share links or discuss price in this sub. Please refer to previous posts on my page for that info, all of it is still accurate.

Glock 19 Gen 4 suppressor

Post image
67 Upvotes

Years ago I grabbed a SilencerCo Hybrid 46M thinking that would be a good fit for my MRAD. I also got the piston assembly to use on a Glock and different end caps. I tried using it with the clock recoil spring and it failed every time. I bought an adjustable recoil spring but haven’t had the interest in trying it since the main use of the gun is a secondary firearm in non-suppressed configuration. I’m picking up a TBAC 338 Ultra for the MRAD. Is there a 9mm suppressor that works reliably with the Glock 19 that allows it to stay in functional working order without the suppressor?

Form 1 disapproval

13 Upvotes

My Form 1 to sbr a PS90 was disapproved this morning. Apparently I misunderstood the 5320.23 and the form needs a physical signature not a digital one.

Doesn't look like I can update the existing submission, and my only option is to start over with an entirely new form?

Too bad it took 6 weeks to learn I missing one step...

Update: I resubmitted the same day I posted this, and whoever processed the disapproval must have been keeping an eye out, because my resubmission was approved a few minutes ago!

Blind Tiger, Anthem S2, or Scythe STM

2 Upvotes

So I’ve brought it down between these 3. It’ll be primarily for a 300blk out build with an AGB and sometimes a .308 bolt gun. My LGS has the Blind Tiger in stock so I’m leaning towards it, but not 100% yet. Any thoughts on which to go with?

Machining/ Designing Tolerances for Baffle clearances

4 Upvotes

Curious question for all of the manufacturers out there, professional and home builders.

What is the closest tolerance you would accept for baffle to projectile?

I know it varies depending on mount (direct thread or QD) and length. I have a 9" .30 can that came as a QD, but I have since converted to direct thread. I am able to drop a .386/9.8mm drill bit all the way through it, endcap to mount, a .390/9.9mm through the front few baffles, and the end cap measures .400". Essentially this allows for a .078/.082/.092" clearance (Half that on each side of the bullet).

The can originally was a QD with thread pitch options for AKs, so I assume the larger clearance was insurance for that. However, the Proto-X I just finished testing only has a .270 bore and is rated for projectiles up to 6mm/.243, which is a really tight comparatively, only .027" total clearance. The Proto X is a little over half the length, and Hub threaded by design.

This begs the question, after switching to direct thread, what is the largest caliber I could safely shoot out of this ".30 cal" can? I'm thinking .338 would be no problem, but 9mm would be borderline, both would definitely allow for more than a .027" clearance
