      Get some zirconium.  It lights easier and burns hotter/brighter.  Not quite magnesium, but still really impressive. 

Titanium likes to catch fire.  Be aware.  Watch your chip piles.  

Oh, and silencershop has the Sparrow for 379.  Doing math in my head, thats 130 more.  Not 200.  

    I didn't say anything about a Sparrow.  Why didn't you read the rest of what I wrote?         Silencerco Spectre II $295 http://www.silencershop.com/shop/swr-spectre-ii/   Silencerco Warlock II $221 http://www.silencershop.com/shop/swr-warlock-ii/   Again, those two are the same can but the warlock is aluminum and the spectre is stainless.       AAC Pilot 2 $260 http://www.silencershop.com/shop/aac-pilot-2/     Spend a little more and get a better can.       I soda blasted my mite last time I cleaned it.  Since then, I've fired 10 shots through it.  Its so gritty inside its already getting hard to open.  Its a poor design that ISNT EASY TO TAKE APART.           I'm a Mite owner that likes his Mite.  I enjoy the can and think its plenty quiet enough for real world use.  I don't care what the meters say.  My ears are what I care about.  But it gunks up so easily, it shouldn't be considered the best option ever. 

I have one.  And for the price I paid, and my knowledge at the time, I'd do it again.  However, I would steer you in another direction.   What's the price you can get the SS version for?  I've mostly seen the aluminum one around 200 so based on that, I'd encourage you to upgrade.  A Silencer Warlock II or Spectre II.  They are the same can but the Warlock is aluminum and the Spectre is SS.  Better design and better suppression for not much more money.  

ASA posted some info today.  I don't find ASA all that trustworthy right now, but this info is as good as any out right now so hopefully this will ease some fears for a little while.  http://americansuppressorassociation.com/atf-update-41p-nfa-backlog-and-the-e-forms-system/        

I'll back Tim up here. I'm going to be getting one next year. I'd do it now but I need to recoup from a couple other cans.

Noveske 8.2 inch 300 blk. YHM Phantom 308 QD. It works. Really well. REALLY well. This is my sister shooting that setup with Gemtech 220 grain subs. The guy standing up is shooting a 5.56 and the guy at the end is shooting a 22lr. So if you pay attention, you can hear the difference of the three. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVeWNQYBNGM

    I think Kentucky was more of an issue of coming off a bye.  I don't expect that to happen again.  

If its just the barrel, it may be okay as long as it can withstand the pressure.  But if you are using the action, its gets into legal territory that I don't understand. 

No special hoops.  Just a regular Form 1.  As long as the entire assembly is 16 inches.  If its shorter, you would need to file two Form 1s.  One for the suppressor and one for the SBR.       Now, as for using the shotgun, I don't know about all that.  Thats out of my wheelhouse.  

Jacob, call Classic Arms and talk to Chance. He will point you in the right direction.

My first can was the Mite and if I had to do it over again I would.   I've never shot it side by side with any other cans though so I can't give honest comparisons.  I will say that I find it to be hearing safe with all of my hosts.  Its a bitch to clean though.  I've had it get so locked up that we had to put it in the vice and use a breaker bar to free it. Would I get it over again if I had to?  Yes but I got it used locally for a fantastic price and it was a great intro into the world of shhhhhhh.     I just mailed paperwork for a Warlock II Monday.  Its another sub $300 can and is from Silencerco.  SiCo has a great reputation and the Warlock has some great features.  The baffles click together which should prevent the can from locking up.  Its also threaded on both ends which will also help keep it from locking up. I'm excited to get my stamp back (hopefully within a year) and get these two out side by side and do some shooting.  

Only issue I've had that wasn't my own fault, was a 10/22 takedown when they first came out.  I troubleshot it myself and determined the problem to be an out of spec bolt.  Never put calipers on it so not sure how out of spec but putting that bolt in any other receiver would transfer the problem.     I talked a fella on the phone and told him all of my troubleshooting steps and what I discovered.  He said no need in sending the rifle back, he'd ship me a new bolt and gave me his info in case it didn't work.  I had the new bolt in two days and the rifle ran 100 percent from then on.  I called the guy back and we talked a little while.  Like me, he was a big fan of the 10/22 and had a few.  He said if I ever had any 10/22 or mark series issues to call him first and he would take care of what ever I needed.       I like Ruger.  But those that know me, know that. 

I'll echo what Verne has said. Rumors are that they announced factory 9mm versions at the recent bullpup meet

What is wrong with being concerned? Nothing. You absolutely should be concerned. But you sell yourself as having the inside scoop on everything with your "I talked to so and so..." and "I'll make a call and find out..." and people respect you as a "subject matter expert." So you saying that this looks like it's going to happen makes people think it's a done deal. It's not. You put this out there without also adding in all the other available info. As a "SME," you have to remember that people will blindly follow your every command and take your word as fact. But these types of posts and scare tactics have driven ammo prices to double in the last 6 years and in some cases, ammo is still hard to find. At least the AR market self corrected but ammo probably never will.

  John recommended it and he's our attorney.  I'll take his word.  Whether its necessary or not, doesn't matter.             As of right now, there is still no date that the official ruling on 41P is going to be announced on.  Some have said February and some have said first quarter.  But its possible that it gets pushed to Q2 or Q3 next year.  They have a ton of comments to go through in addition to the regular work that they have to get done.  I WOULD NOT worry about 41P for now.  

FEAR MONGERING!    Do not buy into this 100 percent.  Chip is right.  The draft has been around for a while and it was one of many proposed forms.  This is NOT to be taken as evidence that 41P will be adopted.  I'm not saying that it can't or won't be but this form is proof of nothing.     Its a government agency.  You don't think they would produce dozens of different drafts for something that they are thinking about doing before implementing anything?   This is a much ado about nothing deal and should not be taken seriously yet.  

Thanks for the headsup Todd.  Looking forward to seeing what happens next! 

This was revealed last weekend at the Bullpup Convention. I'm not really into the 9mm Tavor but I love the thought that went into this. Lots of credit to them for this product. So its a combination fore end and suppressor setup. It comes with a brake that fits into the baffle stack and acts as a blast baffle. It can be swapped back to unsuppressed with just the screw that holds on the fore end or by removing the stack from the fore end.

I saw that. It excites me. Especially in combo with the integral can setup.

Did anyone see the 300 blk Tavor or the "integral" 9mm suppressed Tavor? 

I just don't want to keep adding calibers.  It makes it much more difficult to buy ammo when you have to buy ammo for each gun and not for a group of guns.   However, I might get mine and leave it alone.  Or I might rebarrel to match other guns.  I dunno.  But I gotta have one.   And I love the gas block.  At least in photos. 

    I have no desire for a 223 or 5.56 rifle.  I've moved on.  But I will be getting one of these.
