NFA talk. For reviews and recommendations by fellow stamp collectors.

What issues have you seen ? I'm probably running the same can you are. So is another dude on my team. We shoot a lot, but in a different environment than you do. So far we haven't had any issues; they've held up well and are as quiet with our ammo as I think we can expect.

I'd be interested in hearing your opinion.


Well let me start by saying I don't think they're horrible, but I definitely preferred the KAC suppressor we used previously. My main complaint would be with how hot they get after a relatively low number of rounds through them. We've burned clothes, gear and body parts at a much higher rate than we ever did before.

Unless you run a gas buster charging handle they blow back quite a bit of gas into the face of the shooter. Black faces everywhere after coming out of the house or off the IADs range. I don't use one because I feel like these cans run pretty dirty to begin with. However, most people won't be doing land warfare IADs where they're shooting hundreds of rounds in a short time so this probably won't be an issue for everyone.

On the plus side I do like how they attach snugly as opposed to the KAC suppressor had some wiggle. Like I said I don't hate them but if I was spending my own money I'd go in a different direction.
 
Finally bit the bullet and set up a trust. Not sure what I'm going to get yet, but leaning towards SilencerCo due to their SPEQ program being extended to prior service and the wording of their warranty, "We stand behind our products with a lifetime warranty, no matter what – even if it’s not a product defect. We answer every question asked and go above and beyond to serve our customers. Our 48 hour repair turnaround even warranties stupid…once."

I hadn't read their warranty. That is a big selling point right there for me.
 
I realize a lot of guys aren't familiar with the NFA. If you guys want I can do a complete write up on how to go about getting registered short barreled rifles, short barreled shotguns, suppressors and fully automatic weapons. Just say the word and it will be done.

How long have you been here?

Actually, a lot of us are. Quite a few of the posts have disappeared over the years whenever the board does a clean up.

Nice of you to step up and volunteer.

Just over a week. So yeah I am pretty new here. Right on.

They do get a bit hot when you run them hard. We don't shoot bursts with them, so that helps, but rapid-fire semi-auto drills will still get the can hot.

I run a piston gun, so the gas issue is lessened but I do agree the gas buster charging handle is a good idea. My buddy's gun is DI and he uses one.

I really like the mounting solution they've come up with. When it's on the gun, it's like it came from the factory that way.

I've also noticed no zero shift and slightly tighter groups with the can mounted.
 
I decided to go with the SDN-6 by AAC so that I could use it on a 300 bo or my 308 as well as its primary purpose on my 5.56 SBR. I am going to fill out the paperwork tomorrow. I will do a review on it when I get it. Can't wait. :-)
