This would effectively end a lot of posts allowed in this sub if this passed. The one way that you can help is contacting congressmen on this committee to make sure it sees the floor.

Does a really long side folding brace that can be gripped count as a VFG?

Like the title says, if one were to use a side folding brace that can be gripped for support in the same location that a VFG would be though not attached under the barrel (a la micro uzi side folder) would this be considered a VFG?

Suppressed 50 bmg

Suppressed 50 BMG. Accuracy international, 18 inch barrel. Sounds like a squirrel farting under a blanket at 37 yards.

8.6 blackout can recommendations

I'm putting together a 12in faxon big gunner barreled ar10. What's a decent can for this? I'm only going to shoot subs, but I'd like the can to be able to handle supers.

The faxon barrel has a goofy thread of m18x1.5 tapered shoulder with adapter, whatever that means.

Id rather not get a Q can.

Barrel recommendations — Glock 19

Hi all .... noob here, in the process of buying my first can, just wondering if there's a highly recommended threaded barrel. I used to think I would go to GlockStore and get a Lone Wolf barrel.... in the intervening time I have heard bad things about Lone Wolf and I don't think GlockStore even carries threaded barrels anymore, not sure.

What 1/2x28 threaded barrel would you recommend to run a can on a Glock 19? Thanks in advance and again sorry for the noob question but I want to get the best option and not end up stuck with something that's not great.

Scythe Ti failures

I saw on a hunting forum that a fairly significant group of scythe TI owners are having weld failures with magnums or shorter barrels. I thought it would be interesting to open it up to a larger group.

If you're broken yours, what caliber, barrel length, and round count?

CAT MOB and Tools

I purchased one of the HUB CAT MOBs from Silencer Shop for my SP5 the other night. Super excited for it, but I’ve never bought/owned a suppressor before. I’ve used Silencer Shop for a Form 1 previously, so I think this process should be smooth. However, I want to make sure I have all the tools I need to mount/use it properly before it gets here. I’m planning on utilizing the tri-lug on the SP5 barrel, since… well it seems sinful not to. So I snagged one of those Resilient Gen 2 tri-lug adapters that everyone goes apeshit about. I also want to have the option to try the Spooky mount, so I got a Spooky 1 flash hider and one of the TSF X adapters. Seems like if I torque the TSF adapter properly to the can it should function similarly to the QD CAT MOB.

Are there any armorer’s tools I should get to make installation easier? I do have a torque wrench, a vise, and some sockets. Lowe’s is pretty close by if I need something common.

Any advice/feedback appreciated! Very excited to finally participate in two-stamp Tuesdays.

Huxwrx QD to Bravo Option?

My supressor stash is filled with CGS Helios,, Sico Omega, and Griffon Bushwackers. Any recommendations for adapters that will allow for a Huxwrx QD muzzle device to be used? What I could find seems to be unobtainable, and I saw zero reviews about how it worked. Any suggestions?

Rearden and SRBS 556 & 762 ti

I have an SRBS 762 and 556 on tbe way. Comes with the SF hub but I think I'm going to convert it to the rearden atlas. Anyone running this set up? Which muzzle device are you running if you are?

I like the idea of their taper over the surefire systems.

Finger print cards

So I had finger print cards sent to me to complete my form 4 application. I went to the police station and had my prints digitally taken. When I handed the cards I was sent to the officer he said he was just going to use theirs since they were already loaded in the printer. When I glanced at some loose cards on table they looked identical.

Anyway I get home I looked closely and realized the cards aren’t quite the same. The police station used a FD-258 version from 1999 whereas the ones that were sent to me are from 2020.

They both have all the same fields etc. except the top left corner of the old one doesn’t say FD-258 instead it says it on the back. The backs are quite different lacking privacy act statements.

Is this going to be an issue? I believe the cards are going to be digitized for e forms and the processor is silencershop.

Trying to suppress an AK

I recently acquired an M70 AK with a 14x1 LH threaded barrel. I have a Trash Panda and a Wolfman but can't find a way to mount either!!

The Trash Panda requires a Q Cherry Bomb. Which only comes in 1/2x28 and 5/8x24. I'd like to avoid using a thread adapter.

The Wolfman lives on my SP5 via a tri lug. But apparently, a 14x1 LH tri lug doesn't exist. 🤷‍♂️

Do you guys have any suggestions?

For those wondering

If you’re wondering if a upin will make your NFA item faster think again lol. It seems to slow it down instead.

Cheapest low back pressure 5.56 can?

What is the best low back pressure 5.56 Can for the price? I know the Velos LBP is $1,000, the CAT WB is $1,150, etc…

Is there anything that is great at sound suppression, low back pressure, and more affordable?

What are the options?

(BTW, my priorities are:

  1. sound suppression at the shooters ear
  2. over all sound suppression, and then
  3. low back pressure)

I checked both SS and Eforms and nothing.
