What would you do? Pay the $150 transfer fee for the AAC Cyclone or 7.62 SD for around $600 and have it transferred? Or settle for a gemtech or silencer co 7.62 can? Or drive to nearest AAC Dealer (1 hour away) and pay MSRP? Unless you have some particular issue with needing an AAC, SilencerCo's offerings in 7.62 are hardly considered "settling". Have you looked into the SilencerCo cans? If not, you owe it to yourself... |

Why are you locked in on those cans? I would look hard at the SilncerCo Saker and Specwar. They are both top of the line cans, certainly not settling.

My friend has a Cyclone, not bad but I am far more pleased with my Saker 7.62 - a better can with more versatility IMHO. Cyclone is an extended SDN-6, which I got as well as the Gemtech Quicksand. I'd still take the Saker if I could only have one of those mentioned. |

I am a big fan of Silencerco, (have an osprey on the way). But have been more attracted to AAC's cyclone and SD models. They seem to be the ones that show up when searching quietest or best 762 can. Also this will be used on 2 AR 7.5" pistols, one in 223 and the other in 762x39, as well as a 16" x39 and 16" 5.45x39 so I like the 51t design as well as maybe a direct thread but idk how direct thread would hold up to being moved a lot. |

I own many AAC products including a Cyclone K. I am very happy with all of them. With that being said, you really need to look a Silencer Co. If their 7.62 cans existed when I got my Cyclone, I would have went with SiCo. Buy what YOU want, but Silencer Co is at the top of its game.

Silcerco's offering is better than AAC's in my opinion, but the advantage to AAC is they are often cheaper and easier to find (my local dealer has Cyclones and 7.62SDs both for $525) and they have the $200 promotion thing going on now. If you are buying from an in state dealer they are sometimes willing to ship it to your door (you do a paper 4473 by mail and they mail a copy to your local CLEO 7 days in advance). |

I called silencer shop and they confirmed Its only $70 when sent to a qualifying shop. They said there was one in my zip code but were unable to tell me the the name until an order has been placed. The website has good prices so I might go that option. Again I do like Silencerco but they're a fair bit more expensive. (Local shop would charge full MSRP). |

$150 is a absurd amount for a transfer. By going the silencer shop route, you'll pay well below msrp and save on sales tax. The only downside would be waiting on the form 3 to clear first THEN the form 4.

CWF = over priced. Aside from the $150 transfer fee for NFA items, they wanted $200 over MSRP on a gemtech blackside... and that's without the tax stamp. Don't get me wrong, they have some nice people there, but some of their prices are insane. And they have no reason to lower them because no one else in the area is a stocking dealer in NFA items.

Agree. I just saw the shop for the first time recently since I've been out of town for a few years, nice guys nice products, high price tags though. I used to live in EC with Lauer and they also charged $150 for external transfers. Don't get me wrong I like silencerco but never looked into them too much since AAC usually popped up in searches and because of the price tag. Minimum would be $900 plus $200 stamp where a AAC could be had for 600-700 plus stamp |

Now with that being said, I too wanted an AAC can. Dead set. Then when I went to buy my can, they had sold the can I had my eye on, but had a Specwar 556. I would normally recommend against this highly, but I jumped on it right then and there, even not knowing a whole hell of a lot about them. Best decision I could have made. You can call me a SiCo fanboy if you want, but they make an awesome product, for a fair price, have excellent CS, and stand by their products. I can't say one bad thing about my Specwar. Can't be beat if you ask me. |

Don't let the distance dissuade you. I have no problem making the 9 hour round trip drive to Austin to pick my cans up from Silencer Shop. It's a lifelong purchase and they are selling them at great prices, the savings on one can more than makes up for the gas used getting there and back.

Quote HistoryI never said Gemtech made junk, I said Silencerco is on par with AAC; but I will say Gemtech's boat sailed more than a decade ago. AWC went with them. (Clean that Amphibian!) Honestly answer this question. Do you think the Osprey 9 or Octane 9 is audibly quieter than the old Multimount? The MM is what, 6 or 7 years old? Surely it cant be just as quiet, right? The OP asked a question about 3 manufacturers. I can guess which one youve never used before. Despite your "stacks", youre giving bad advice based on feelings instead of simple logic. Every can has its good points and bad points, but I dont think you can see past the t-shirts and tattoos. |

So far it looks like the silencer shop direct to dealer will probably be my best option. I don't think it would be wise for me to spend $1100 on a Specwar right now. Not a big fan of the harvester and haven't seem much about it yet. I'd rather have an AAC sd or cyclone for under $900 said and done. Curious thing was that as far as I know, there's only 1 class 3 in my zip and again they said $150. When I talked to silencer shop over the phone they said there was a "partner dealer" in my zip but couldn't say who it was. I wonder if it's the same shop....
Anyone familiar with having SilencerShop process the actual form 4?? They said they can do it on there end or do the paperwork at the local dealer. Said I would just have to mail copy of trust and check or CC for $200 stamp payment. |

If you use their partner dealer, you pay SS for the tax stamp and transfer ($270 total) and they handle it all. They keep you in the loop, and the only time you deal with the partner dealer is to pick up the can, or if you are allowed conjugal visits. If you chose your own dealer, it's between you and them to get the F4 filed, transfer fee negotiated and tax stamp paid. It may be a little faste this way if the local dealer is willing to file the F4 once they get the SN from SS (but before F3 is approved). Maybe this thread will explain it a little better: How Silencer Shop Direct works. |

I own a gemtech and they are a top notch manufacturer, certai my not "settling"
But if u have your heart set on AAC I would ask if be can do it for less than $150 (my local dealers do $50 for suppressor and $100 for MGs) if not take your business elsewhere |

Also I see the specwar is only $720 at SS which after transfer fee is still $110 cheaper than at my dealer. |

A whole hour? that is not even across town here. Exactly. I'm waiting on one that's a 3-hour drive each direction. In-state dealer had a group buy going. A little road trip doesn't have to be a bad thing. |

Condition One LLC behind fleet farm is also a class 3 dealer, but he doesn't stock anything except a couple HTA 22 cans. Might be worth a shot to see how much he charges for transfers. |

That's who I usually go with. I didn't see them listed as a class 3 before though. I wonder if they're parterend up with Silencerco for $70. I wouldn't doubt it. And no if I knew everything was set a one time drive 3 hour drive wouldn't be bad, bu when I got my first can there were lots of little issue to be ironed out that took multiple trips. Would have killed me if it was a 3 hour drive each time. I guess I could call all the class 3's in my state and see if anyone has what I'm looking for in stock. Plus I also have old high-milage cars and a newborn so I don't like to travel super far from home... |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
silencerco is the only major suppressor manufacturer that I haven't found a reason to hate yet You are not trying. How about the fact that many of the leaders who made it a great company have left or been fired since the Grim Reaper showed up. Only a matter of time before that has an effect on the product line, every other company he has touched and has gone to shit. Just for what they did to SWR you should hate them if that is how you roll. |

It reminds me of the huge chicken little outcry when they teamed up with Euro Optics. Everyone seems to rave about their service even currently so I hope you are wrong. |
