Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Alrighty, then!
Man, GOT to get me one of these puppies!
Shoots the .300 Blackout round, which seems to be kind of a .308 short. Designed for being shot out of a short barrel.

I think I would just as soon keep it in a "pistol" configuration myself.
I'm thinking supersonic ammo sent through a 5.5 inch barrel might be kind of harsh on a lot of suppressors. Ballistics of the subsonic stuff isn't all that impressive out of such a short barrel for rifle rounds.
Of course, likely would be like the last three or four guns I've purchased over the last few years in that I haven't even shot them yet. I guess I like HAVING stuff like this more than actually shooting them.
Heck, I've got a Barret model 95 that I have had for a good 15 years or so (plus or minus 10 percent) and never fired it.

Getting a can is not all that much trouble, at least in my state oregon. The 7 or 8 month wait for the tax stamp is hard on the nerves though. Once you own one, you will never want to shoot without one though. I'm about to start the paperwork on one for my shotguns. Also they are the best muzzle brake ever, really reduce felt recoil

Shotgun? I never would have thought that a suppressor would work well on a shotgun.
Actually the whole idea of why suppressors are so tightly regulated just baffles me. I mean, come on, a device that makes guns QUIETER is a problem?
But if you remove a muffler from a car to make it louder, that is illegal? Or play your radio too loud on the street is a no-no too? But guns? Nope, they NEED to be kept loud to remain legal.
Heck, I dunno, maybe I'll look into it one of these days. But heck, if I had to wait 8 months, by the time it showed up I will have forgotten what it was for.

Go for it, it'll be fun, you'll like it.
If you can pass the paperwork to buy a handgun, you can do a suppressor - pretty much all the same questions on the Form 4. Find a local C-7 FFL and talk it over. ATF wait time is currently about 9 months.
I am already running a 10" AR handgun in .223 and am putting together a 9" .300 Blackout now, I just got the final parts (handguard/gas tube/gas block) last Sunday. Milled the lowers myself ( https://www.mdshooters.com/showthread.php?t=4197). I also have a 16" Remington bolt gun in .300 BO.
The .300 BO ammo is available in both full-power, supersonic loadings and in sub-sonic loadings. If you are running a suppressor, you'll want the sub-sonics to achieve much benefit from the can. The suppressor will help control the muzzle "pop", but cannot quiet the mini-sonic boom (crack) from the bullet exceeding the speed of sound.
