Thanks for the video. My tips: 1) Be ready for a life-lesson on improving your patience as you wait to get your form 4 approved. 2) Decide whether you are buying as an individual, a general gun trust, or a single shot trust. Each has their advantages and disadvantages. The single shot trust is great, but a drawback of these, is you have to have a copy of the trust and tax stamp for each item you take out. This is about 22 pages or so. This means if you are taking an SBR and a suppressor to the range, you will be toting about 44 pages of paper with you. (unless you print it to both sides of course) - A positive is the single shot does let you sell the can by putting the buyer as a responsible party trustee (they have to have prints, background check, etc) and then letting them take you off the trust. (or sell it with borrowers rights if you are selling to a friend) 3) If you are looking for maximum suppression of sound, stay away from the short K or SK type models. They look cool but they do not muffle the noise as well as a full size can. (Which I think most folks want maximum suppression?) - A modular one can give you both options in a single package. 4) Lots of people choose a trust because they think it makes it easier to pass the items to their heirs. It does, but you can also just spell it out in your will who you want the item to go to. The person can file a form 5 to transfer it to themself and the good 'ol ATF even waives the tax stamp for the heir.

Thanks for the video. Something I noticed in several different shots throughout the video is it appears that you often rest the barrel vs. the handguard on whatever you're using for support when shooting. I believe there are reasons why that is not a good practice and perhaps you may want to consider changing that.

Getting a supressor is a crazy and complicated process. I’ve tried a couple of times. First time I waited a year and a half, and then was denied by the ATF. Still don’t know why. But, I’d paid around a thousand dollars for the supressor and the tax stamp. After waiting a year and a half, I got about half of that back. No refund on the tax stamp, and a 30% restocking fee on the supressor. Now, I’m a year and three months into my second attempt. Again, I paid about a thousand dollars over a year ago. Still waiting. It’s a lot of expense and effort just to try to protect my hearing and my family’s hearing in the event of a home defense situation. 🤷‍♂️

@thelonggunner762 8 ай бұрын

If they're charging you a restocking I would find a different dealer. I got denied on one of my cans because of a spelling error and I got refunded my tax stamp money. I reapplied and got it approved in about 7 months.

When traveling with a weapon, sometimes you do have to handle the locked container. I recently went to South Africa and had a 12 hour layover in Atlanta.

@jcb86-a 8 ай бұрын

The silencer company applies the serial number immediately upon purchase…then it sits and waits for approval. I suggest calling someone like Silencer Central. They really helped me debunk a lot of information I thought I knew. I rolled everything in to a single purchase including tax stamp, suppressor and trust and they even split it into 8 interest free payments. It doesn’t even require a credit check, as they will have the suppressor until approved. If it gets approved before the final payment, you can pay the balance immediately, or continue until paid in full. My only complaint with Silencer Central was that I had to wait 3 weeks for a certification appointment once my fingerprints were approved, because they were busy. The positive is that you never have to leave your house, and several months later it appears at your door.

@@zeromech1450 Yes, but for some reason you fill out the 4473 after you get ATF approval. So, it’s establishing a trust, then form 4 (NFA Item) with a passport style photo, fingerprints, submission to ATF (including payment for tax stamp), wait, wait, wait, wait…approval from ATF, then form 4473, then notice to my sheriff, then the suppressor ships to my home. At least that’s the process through Silencer Central, but I would assume the process is the same for most if there aren’t local laws that differ from mine.

That was loud! You want quiet i discovered the ultimate pew pew suppressor only drawback is there only good for 50- 100 rounds but good thing is dirt cheap and can carry as many as you want. So here it is get yourself a white corn cob not a yellow🌽 one them you going to remove about 10 kernals drill yourself a little 1/4 port straight through to middle or whatever bore size you want. Stick that cob right on the end of your rifle,pistol,ect gun of your choice except for higher calibers like 50 cal 338 lapua definitely no shot guns you get the point. But 556, 223, 9 mm, 30 cal no problem. And get this you can travel all 50 states. Going to other countries might be a problem as you cant take fruits or vegetables to and from certian places but really you just make yourself a new one as long as they got corn! If you forget to declare and your in danger of getting caught, well simple stick it right up your corn hole and avoid body scanners. No tax stamp, nothing. If someone thinks you been using one either back in the corn hole, or simply start eating it as fast as possible. Hope it wasnt the one you had in the corn hole. Anyway its so quiet just find out for yourself! Im not responsible for any problems you may encounter. Use at your own discretion and be safe and responsible out there. You may want to carry Vaseline or some type of lube with you at all times fyi! Be safe!
