Paper work was submitted May 7 and approved today August 11. Not too bad for a Trust form. Last suppressor was submitted on May 31 and didn’t get it until Jan 26.
I still have to wait for local LEO letter to be sent and signed for and that waiting period. After that it’s shipped to the State rep and then to me. Should have it at the door the first week of September or thereabouts. Still that’s a whole lot faster than the last one!

Yeah, individuals are with hours to a couple of weeks. I submit a trust so when I’m gone my son gets them vs ATF.

If on an individual fourm 4 they can pass to an heir on a form 5 tax free. They don't go back to the ATF. Main advantage of a trust is so your son ans anyone else not a prohibited person can be a responsible person and use the item same as you without you being there.

Hard to believe a guy has to ask permission for a harmless add on.

Beats the longest weight time I have had and my best longest was 16 months shortest was just over a year.

How about bragging now you have somthing the people that "can't believe" honestly want but don't have. Or have never got to experience so have no base line of if it's worth the money and hassle but like to post negative nonsense anyway.

Hard to believe I can’t drive as fast as I want.
Hard to believe I have to pay taxes.
Hard to believe coyotes can smell as good as they can.

A lot of things are hard to believe, but unfortunately they’re all true. Yeah, I swore I’d never pay for an ATF stamp or wait for approval for a suppressor…until I shot one. This is my second and doubt it’s my last. Be really nice if they’re allowed as an accessory and can be bought over the counter before I buy another, but if not, I’ll pay and wait again. Y’all keep shooting them bangers or wearing your uncomfortable hearing protection. I’ll enjoy hearing that bullet impact after pulling that trigger.

I went through Silencer Central and got another Banish 30. And yeah, I’ve heard negatives about both Silencer Central and the Banish, but so far they’ve been great to deal with and I can’t compare the Banish to anything else. It works and performs perfect for my needs. I’ll be honest if there’s something better out there I’d probably get weak in the knees if I shot it, lol.

My next purchases will be caliber specific, like 5.56 and .22. I have a short video of my son shooting my .308 with subsonic and it’s absolutely crazy how quiet it is. Going to set up my other thermal rifle for subsonics and take it in on the next single hog I get on camera. I can get with 75yds easy and even closer if needed. Talked with a guy that’s shooting a .300BO subsonics on hogs and supposedly killing them.

Going to load your own or buy them? Hornady has a 190 gr 30 cal that they say expands at subsonic speed but I have not personally tried it. A 220gr sp RN may work well . I have not played with subsonic on large game. It's quit enough for me with suppers. I may try it someday.

I’m getting ready to go through Silencer central for a Banish 223 and I think I’m going to try their barrel treading service too.

I read if you make your own the paperwork and wait times is a few weeks as opposed to the on year average. I want to build an sbr. Suppressors seem kinda finicky, especially on a semi. I'm a low maintenance man.

It depends on if you are filed ad an individual, trust, or.llc. individual ls are coming back fastest lately. I have never seen or heard of a difference in approval speeds between a form 1( home made) over form 4 ( bought ). T

You will get more back pressure on with suppressors and that could do nothing to just be a little more gas in your face to increasing bolt speed causing the action to cycle harder and cause malfunctioning. Simple fix is an adjustable gas block that reduces the amount of gas getting into the gas tube.. it's simple.and.easy.
I have never had a problem or installed an adjustable gas.block. a little more gas in the face isn't to bad.
If.you start shooting with suppressors you will never want to go.with out them again. They are very nice improvements.

I went with Silencer Central in February this year here at sports show, got a Banish for my 204, filled the paper work out there, then some after the a week later sent to me, it's supposed to be here next week, they said the wait times were growing shorter every month. They have kept up with updates almost every month !

I'm quite pleased with their service and time frame, said it would be about September, or October, I say thats pretty good when some of my friends had to wait, almost two years, a few years ago.

Just received my thermal from Pulsar Thermion Duo 50 last Thursday as well, be going out this fall and winter after some nice fur !!

You’ll have fun thermal hunting. And it’s even better with a suppressor.
