I just got a suppressor from Polite Society.  It is an AAC M4-2000... And,it is awesome.  I feel stupid for waiting this long to get one.  Which brings me to my point:  I really can't afford to get another one but I am going to do it anyway!  That is to say, I am gonna get a .308 suppressor of some sort.

Don't get me wrong, if you are looking to buy a new rifle, I'd love to sell you one.  However, if you already have a functioning AR you NEED to get a can.  No, I'm not a Class 3 and I can't help you with that (but POLITE SOCIETY can!!!).

This ain't a "love me" and look at my toys thread.  What I am trying to convey is the significant impression shooting with a suppressor has left upon me.  

...it is a whole other world...

I don't have facts and figures to give you.  Frankly, there are whole sites devoted to that stuff and I'm too lazy to sift through it.  What I am offering is my personal experience and opinion on the subject.

It may seem trivial to see this written but, words can't clearly convey what it was like to sit on the deck and blast away, holding a conversation with a friend and wearing NO hearing protection.  I even had my buddy blast away while I stood forward (and off to the side) of the muzzle.  Wow.  If you were not conscious of the firing angle you would NOT be able to pinpoint the shooter.

That being said, you are doing yourself a disservice if you do not find the time to go to the "suppressor only" shoot and check it out for yourself.

...Accountant?  Where are you?

I figured you'd have popped out by now to kick me in the nuts...  You're slacking!

CLEO? get passport type photos? and where do I go to complete step 2. Sorry for the dumb questions but you know how us noobies are.

The vendor (did I mention Polite Society?  <SHAMELESS plug - great service>) has all of the forms, cards, etc...  Call your local LE folks and find out where to go get fingerprinted - my fellas over here did it for free.

CLEO = Chief Law Enforcement Officer...  Call the local LE and tell them you need to get sign-off on a Form 4 and they will tell you who to see.

You can get the photos done at most post offices for $15.

Step 2 is completed by mailing in the form to the address provided.

Thanks for the help man, I always have heard people talking about getting forms for NFA items but I never knew what the process was. I am not really sure what the LEO is like in paulding but I guess it never hurts to give it a try!

You're kidding right?

I live in Paulding.  This area is KNOWN for its appreciation and support of the right to keep and bear arms.  Have you considered full-auto lately?

<EDIT: if any of you other folks are looking to move any time in the future, I encourage you to consider Paulding.  We wanna be Kennesaw when we grow up.>

Quoted: I'm patiently waiting for my Form 4 to be approved so I can pick up my Pilot.

You have been more than patient.  Allen is still calling NFA branch though.  

I was tryin' to share the love so, I sent them a dozen roses and some naked photos of me on a Friday night!  Man, was that a mistake...  But, it does explain why it took so long.

Quoted: 2 questions guys....What would it take to silence the wifes 5.45 vepr and how long of a wait are we talking about? This could get cool really fast......
