    I know gem tech will not warranty their supressors if the barrel is shorter than 10" so that will be my target. I wanted 7.5, but I hear those are really loud with large flash when fired unsuppressed.
    Next up will be a suppressor for 223 or 762.
    I thought about doing the same thing but I'm glad I didn't, now I have trustees that I can legally leave my stuff with (like when I move back to CA temporarily) and in the event something happens to me my wife can keep/sell my stuff and not just loose it to the ATF for disposal.

    I shoot a 10" 1:8 and it's still quite loud, even with the can on it. Even though a 1:8 will stabilize say a 77-80gr I don't shoot anything over 69 in it just to play it safe. You'll also loose quite a bit of velocity as well so keep that in mind with the short barrel. Also if it's an impingement gun the suppressor will add a lot of pressure to the BCG during the cycle, an adjustable piston system works great for this, but will make it a bit louder when suppressed.

    I own a YHM and SureFire, I like the YHM better, sounds better IMO, and doesn't transfer as much heat to the barrel on my setups. I have a Surefire in 30 cal (rated for 300WM) I move it from my 308 to my wife's 300WSM.

      GO FULL AUTO!!! Then buy some suppressors, SBR's, SBS's. When you have all that send us your address so we can stop by and help you enjoy them when we are passing through on 2 week furlough from PRK.
      Enjoy!

        FA is fun for about 10 minutes, then it's gets painful paying to feed it. I hardly ever play with my FA stuff. Even when on missions, if I wasn't behind my 240B or old M60E, I hardly ever had my M4 in FA. Not useful to do any benefit other than keep someones head down. By far, the Suppressors are the most enjoyable NFA item for the dollar.
        Plus a transferable FA isn't cheap in the first place, get on gun broker and look at the price of a 1919 or HK91/G3 like mine....

          Bought a slidefire for some occasional full auto fun.

          NFA Forms back from Sheriff Dept with signatures.

          Got lowers engraved today so they are done.

          Will mail tomorrow and then the 6 month wait begins.
          Starve the beast, move to a free state.

            NFA forms went in last week. Heard they are going a little quicker. Maybe 5 months. I'm not holding my breath.

            My barrel came in today for the 9mm Suppressed SBR build. It's a 5" TROS usa 3 lug barrel. It's tiny!

            Add the suppressor on and it is still only 12" long. That is going to be one fun puppy to shoot.

              I'm jealous.

              Man, I can't wait to get my SBR forms and Suppressor forms started! I'll officially be a resident of AZ on the 1st of July!

                I sure hope the ATF speeds things up. Mine got mailed last week and 2 of the 4 checks were already cashed. Now the gov gets to sit on that money while they take their sweet time.

                  My check was cashed a few days after sending the paperwork in, and was approved 5.5 months later. With this being election year I wouldn't think they are going any faster unfortunately

                    I would (if I lived in a free state)

                    SBR my UMP and my PS90
                    FA my M4
                    Surpressors for everything.

                    I would be broke but happy
