Joey, I've got a newer Outback II-D with excellent condition baffles. Could I just send you my baffles and Form 4 copy? I'm a bit gun-shy (pun intended) about mailing such a valuable item that I waited so many months to procure. And what's average turn-around time lately? Thanks!

No, we have to have the whole can, to be able to do the IOU program. Joey |

Joey,
Any chance of this policy changing, or is there a legal reason for needing the whole can and not all of the Outback IID baffles? I trust you guys, but UPS/FedEx not so much. Since my can is relatively new, I'll probably just shoot the heck out of it and then send it back in a year or so. |

I didn't ask for your non-pertinent opinion, but thanks anyway for trying to answer a question that only the manufacturer can answer. Silencers ship all over the country every day, and if a dealer's stock is lost then he/she has a few hundred more to take its place. I own one .22 can, and if a carrier loses it, I'm SOL (yes, I've had two packages permanently 'lost' by carriers in the last ten years, one containing a 1911 receiver and the other an AR bbl). Theft can and does happen- not my opinion, fact.
And I also kick hippies, just for kicks. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Others can have input and opinions on here too. If you want to ask Joey a private question and receive a private response then there is a whole IM system for that. forum [fawr-uh m, fohr-uh m] noun, plural forums, fora [fawr-uh, fohr-uh] (Show IPA) 1.the marketplace or public square of an ancient Roman city, the center of judicial and business affairs and a place of assembly for the people. 2.a court or tribunal: the forum of public opinion. 3.an assembly, meeting place, television program, etc., for the discussion of questions of public interest. Step back, take a breath and watch a soothing video and I am sure that joey will be along shortly to confirm my statement. You need to send in the tube. That is the only true way that they can ensure that they are replacing the baffle stack in that particular silencer. |

Since my can is relatively new, I'll probably just shoot the heck out of it and then send it back in a year or so. Legal reasons. We have to get the whole can and all of it's parts, then send it back after the upgrade as a whole can. You can not be in possession of any "Extra Parts" at anytime. Yes, send it some way track able, insure it for the full replacement value including the $200.00. That way if it is lost, you can get it replaced and paid for. Hope this helps? Joey |

Thanks Joey. Will commence shooting the bejesus out of the current baffle stack!!!
Whole lot of self-proclaimed experts here that just can't wait to add their worthless unsolicited 2¢ to everything - makes me wonder if some of them even do any shooting or just surf the net all day, looking to give their special snowflake opinions - nobody cares, you're not special- just go away. Insurance on an NFA item- how much would you guys spend to wait another 7-8 months to get something back that you don't have another of? And obvious lack of reading comprehension aside, maybe they are also named Joey...and responded believing they were directly being addressed. Or not. And now you understand my low post count over the past 12+ years. Later girls. |

Since my can is relatively new, I'll probably just shoot the heck out of it and then send it back in a year or so. It is a legal issue in that we cannot ship/sell suppressor parts separate from the suppressor without registering the parts as a suppressor and doing the $200 transfer. This is a part of the Hughes Amendment to the McClure-Volkmer bill from May of 1986. While any carrier can lose/misplace anything, we have had our best results with UPS or FEDEX. The post office definitely comes in third. |

If it fails any of these questions, the answer is no. We do not have the specifications on any competitor's suppressor. You will need to provide that information.
