I was an RSO at one of the events at shot show where the JK Armament suppressor was used on an M870 and I was highly impressed. Hundreds of rounds were sent through it with no issues, it took an absolute beating.The suppression was excellent as well and my ears didn't complain afterwards while being VERY close to the gun. It's awesome and made me love shotguns all over again!

It would be cool if they designed a suppressor for Over Under shotguns & push for the manufactures to come up with a standardized mounting solution for their really expensive shotguns. Big deal for skeet shooting ranges.

If it's any consultation they have intergally surpressed over under for sure. They made a splash in England

[@jmd1743]

@@tubeguy4066 Good market due to the competition scene is what Im saying. Maybe if it's good enough of a product the clubs would require suppressors is what I'm saying.

[@TheHighvolt480]

You could just have adapters that screw into the choke threads and then the can could just clip into the adapters. The problem is more about how to design baffles for each barrel when they're so close together. Maybe something that looks like a salvo 12 but with 2 holes and the baffles could look like the front plate but staggered through the can. But idk how well it would work because the gas from one barrel would probably just be pushed out of the opposite barrel. You could maybe put a very thin separation between the two but then you would have a pretty small baffle space.

[@back2nick]

[@alexisdetocqueville9964]

Yup. Waited just about 10 months for mine, and this was using eforms. You can also count on the system being completely gridlocked for a full year plus from all the cowards who take up their offer of the "free" SBR registration (that's probably part of their intent though).

Wow….. we’ll done guys! Looking forward in seeing sone reviews of this in action.

[@1bobharvey]

the threading conversation was interesting, but for a rem 870 I would just buy a Carson home defense barrel for the same money that comes pre cut for chokes instead of getting the current barrel threaded. Since you can swap barrels for suppressed or not just as quick as if you wanted to take the suppressor off. Def a cool product tho, one of these might be in my future for coyote hunting although a end cap cut for chokes so I can still play with my pattern would be pretty cool. Everyone just seems to like running open cylinder these days tho, I am more of a extra tight choke enjoyer growing up shooting highflying geese.

[@dearbulls]

Do they have mounts for VEPR or Benelli M4 pattern?

[@adamarens3520]

Yes I need this for my Vepr 12 bad !

[@danielzamora1530]

they did say if you send in your barrel that they would thread and mount it for you. 170 buckaroos and shipping so sky is probably the limit on what shotgun its gunna go on.

[@dearbulls]

@@danielzamora1530 both gun already have their own threads. Why do I need to send them in and pay extra 170? You didn't read my question, did you?

Hint - If you want technical information about a product that has *never been sold* , try contacting JK Armament rather than asking rando's in the KZbin comments section.

[@dearbulls]

@@BatCaveOz I'm asking the OP not rando. But randos just kept chime in, what can I say? 🤣

[@wac8516]

what i've read is they have adapters that are treaded for inside and outside mounting. like the beretta 1301 has treads inside for the chock kits that come with them so you're good there for the inside adapter. so $600+ for 8"silencer, $180 for the adapter and they have chock adapter for the end of the silencer. also it seems you need to reapply the jelly after every 50th round.

[@lilbfrom094princeton8]

I will definitely be sending them my barrel asap. One of my favorite products from SS23 so far.

[@itguy6547]

They've got choke adapters for most shotgun brands

[@sapprdaddy]

Is it ok to use ky jelly for wetting a can? ???

[@catharsis89]

If it keeps the wad together, isn't this basically an extended barrel that ports the gasses off - kind of like those Angstadt Arms monocore guns?

[@rollastudent]

It still has baffles, but the shape and spacing keep the wad together.

[@tcuegonbear]

That's a hell of a wind chime.

[@kylefree8138]

New to the shotgun suppressors….this is for 12ga. Can you downsize and shoot a 20gauge with this can same as you would a .30cal can shooting 308/556?

[@VoyaNui456456]

Holy crap! I'm loving the price on it for once. I might actually get a suppressor and pay that stupid

[@LifeisGood762]

Does it need a plastic shot cup to work then? If you're reloading shells and just put a cardboard disk over the powder would the shot destroy the can?

[@SmokesKwazukii]

im gonna guess that ya that would probably fuck with the system and cause actual baffle strikes. probably not recommended

Two big questions he forgot to ask is with a standard 870,1100,11-87 do you have to use taller bead sights or will factory height work? The other question is I have two 12gauge guns and have chamber reducers so I can shoot 28 and 410 through my single shot 12gauge. Are they safe to use with this suppressor?

[@lanastrouse6736]

Wonderful, thanks for the info.

[@MrEmb007]

Really curious about if they have tested Steel/tungsten/bismuth shot in this. Aluminum baffles vs tungsten at 1300 fps would get ugly. (I know it’s within the wad, but shot string is a factor) Also federal flight control wads, compatible or not? Lastly why in gods hell did they pick the Rem choke pattern over MOBIL or Invector plus? That’s my biggest gripe

[@coreysharp9794]

10db is huge for those that don't know. Sound decibels are not like temperature, best way to explain it for dummies like myself-1db difference is the equivalent of a 10 degree jump in temp. 10db quieter is almost a 3rd quieter to my understanding. Someone can bash me and tell me how wrong I am, that's what these comments are for.

[@andyfigueredo7754]

Is the length the only difference between all 3 of the JK 195 suppressor's? Other than the breacher model having that flash hider style end cap, I Can't find any other difference other than the length. All 3 of them seem to be the exact same suppressor.

[@xxxxxxxx183]

Not all shells use a shot cup tho.

[@thebaldfox711]

Exactly, I'm super confused as to how this would actually work like they described... The wad is BEHIND the shot, so there is nothing to keep the shot from scattering inside the can without that cup.

[@xxxxxxxx183]

@TheBaldFox idk why that wasn't asked.

@@xxxxxxxx183 probably because James is just a pretty face and doesn't actually know how shit works.

[@thebaldfox711]

@@xxxxxxxx183 The salvo 12 is also a modular design but the baffles make much more sense in their design with horizontal rails that guide the shot down the chamber so that you do not have baffle strikes… I really think that this aluminum garbage is just a grift that won't actually ever be shipped... But I've been wrong before.
