Anybody gotten a Tranquilo recently?
Either out of NFA jail or just shipped from Larue to your FFL/SOT? I’m 3 months into waiting on mine, and when I called this morning was told to expect another few months at least. This is just to make it at Larue and ship to my FFL/SOT on a Form 3 - then I have to submit my Form 4 to ATF and wait another 6-12 months. I was hoping for being able to shoot some long range matches with it next year, but that’s not looking good. |
| Yea, my January 29 2018 TQ order arrived to my FFL on July 12 2018. You have to be in the cue for their production cycle but expect 6 months or more on step one. For step two, I got my Form into the ATF immediately in July, they cashed my check on August 7th so the wait is on. Assume maybe Q1 2019 to get out of jail. |

I gave up waiting on mine. I was told 10-12 weeks and waited that long, and then was told “no estimate” on wait time because it was so far down the list, but to expect months at least. I bought a Sandman-S the next day and got my Form 4 on its way to ATF. No hard feelings, would have liked the TQ, but just couldn’t dig the wait. Now I have this pile of TQ brake adapters I no longer need. (Onto EE I guess!). |

I've transferred 6 or 8 of these (I'm an SOT).
Shipping times from Larue varied WILDLY. I couldn't come to any conclusion wether it was production/revenue cycles or just total randomness. |
Research is what I'm doing when I don't know what I'm doing.
Experience is what you got when you didn't get what you wanted.

Also, a low tone will sound quieter and a high tone louder even though they may 'meter' the same pressures. So if you're a bean counter, good luck but you are counting the wrong beans when trying to find the 'quietest' suppressor. |

For all intents and purposes, MOST quality silencers will fit into a bracket where the numbers will be quite similar. Having said that, perception of tone and other qualities is purely subjective. The supersonic crack will be the same for each suppressor if the ammo is loaded identically. I bought a Rugged Surge for my 716 and it overgassed the rifle no matter what setting on the gas block I used. So I bought a TQ, installed it on the 716 and the difference in PERFORMANCE was noticeable. The rifle ejected at 4:30 and the brass landed in a nice neat pile. There was also less smoke in my face, did not get that gritty taste in my mouth after firing a mag. The Surge now resides on a 516 and is performing great there. Awesome tone and great accuracy. I never hear anyone discuss how it performs on a rifle. People just fixate on sound. |

So if you're a bean counter, good luck but you are counting the wrong beans when trying to find the 'quietest' suppressor. I'm a bit obsessed with the backpressure issue, so the Tranquilo has been on my radar for a while. It's just that so far it seems that low-backpressure designs pay a penalty with higher muzzle numbers (I'm the resident OSS fanboy so I hear about it every time they're discussed), so I'm really curious to see how it worked out with this design. I'd also like to know how low the numbers are at the ear for .308. (regarding the protocol question, people seem to be standardizing on "6" directly out from the shooter's right ear" for the testing location) I have had a hard time finding much data at the ear for .308, and other than with OSS what I have seen is significantly over 140. I'm curious to see how this compares--user reports sound positive, but it would be nice to see some hard numbers to quantify it. |

Finally got a chance to spend some time with the tranquilo today. I re-zeroed my tAR and 6.5G UU with suppressor since those two will be dedicated suppressed rifles. I had a roughly 2 MOA drop with 64gr .223 and 4 MOA drop with 123gr AG/ELD-M 6.5G at 100 yards with suppressor attached.
After re-zeroing, the biggest surprise was the American Gunner ammo. I used to get anywhere from 1-1.5 MOA with it. A 5 round group got me a best of .736 MOA, lots of groups under 1” and it was very easy to do with the AG. The tAR and 6.5G have always shot half MOA, that didn't change with the suppressor, just had to adjust elevation.
