If you think .22 was hard to find, imagine trying to find a suppressor for sale if this passes. Prices will skyrocket and there will be a two year wait due to supply shortages. <-- bought 3 suppressors last week (SDN-6, Ti-Rant 9M, Halcyon). Thanks Hansohn Brothers ! View Quote |

Either they are trying to remind their bas that they haven't been forgotten, or Trump is not expected to make a full year as President. I'll be surprised if anything close to this passes.
Hopefully this isn't just another bargaining chip that gets sacrificed by the establishment Repubs. With that being said, I'll order mine and do a few home builds if it does. Fingers crossed .And remember, it's not GUNS they hate....Its all of us who stand in their way of ruling the masses with no consequence. They are fine with guns as long as they are the only ones who have them. |

Go build something with high grade stainless, inconel and/or stellite, to extremely tight tolerances which will result in death or injury if you screw it up... and offer a lifetime warranty... with the ATF looking over your shoulder for audits all the time... and get back to us about how cheap and easy that is. If something HPA-like passes, then current commercially off the shelf cans will be unobtanium and/or ridiculously expensive for a period until manufacturing and distribution catches up with demand. View Quote Suppressors will be hard to get for 6-12 months and then the laws of supply and demand with foster an more competitive environment. You can buy $129 pistols now, but you still bought a $499 Glock. Good stuff will still be good stuff and it will still cost what it costs. |

That's wishful thinking. Established silencer companies that put out known quality products will have the distinct advantage in the market place still. Sure, some buyers that just want a cheap POS silencer will have easier access to them but they're by no means similar to SiCo, SF, or Dead Air. Should the HPA pass we will see the market flooded with Radical Firearms-esque silencers. No thanks, I'll stick to high quality, durable, full auto rated cans with proven QA/QD systems. View Quote I, probably much like you tend to pay more for a proven design, but that doesn't mean the casual shooter needs to (or would ever) spend $800-$1300 on a mid to high end suppressor. There's definitely a market segment for both entry level and the high end. Also, a lot of those shooters who start with a (theoretical) $100-$200 suppressor will eventually see the benefit of a higher end, more permanent solution and will see their way to taking the higher cost plunge, thus growing the industry and fueling innovation in the long term. |

Mr Boltcatch, How much machining experience do you personally have? Honest answer please. I'm no trying to be an ass. I am just trying to understand your statement above. I can't say that I have extreme extensive experience. But I do have a bit of it with ti ( Ti 6-4) , al (Various), and various stainless steels. The machining is not that difficult to do, just takes quality cutting heads and good equipment. The average joe who can get access to a good quality lathe can make all of this stuff quickly and easily. There is also more "slop" than you would think in most suppressors. ( I have a few suppressors as well ) Thank you. View Quote |

I know right. Suppressors are the only device that needs testing, finishing, packaging, ect.
If the tax par goes away, suppressors will be dirt cheap. It has little to do with production costs. |

They're going to have all manner of problems with them and ultimately will learn the "buy once cry once" lesson. It's just the way of the world. Suppressors cost so much because they are marketed towards people who have enough disposable income to pay a $200 tax, and those people expect an extremely long lasting product in exchange for their expense and inconvenience. This is compounded by the regulatory burden of dealing in NFA transactions. Manufacturers, distributors, and retailers all need to make a big enough margin to make that pain worthwhile. Pull suppressors out of the NFA, and all of that mostly goes away overnight. The tax goes away, and cans will go from manufacturers to consumers in a couple of weeks. Do you really think suppressors should cost more than AR barrels or magnified optics? The real fun is going to be in the hardware store parts lists that pop up here on Arfcom. Guys are going to be making cans out of all kinds of crazy shit just because we can. You think it's going to stop at Maglight bodies and freeze plugs? People are going to be making science experiments out of PVC, conduit, copper pipe, aerosol cans, shop vac attachments, or whatever they think might be fun to duct tape to the end of a 10/22. |

If any legislation passes easing the restrictions of suppressor manufacturing and sales the economics won't allow for an 8 month catch period. There are plenty of ancillary manufacturers that have the capabilities to produce parts or even complete assemblies but do not get involved due to the current laws.
I've got multiple designs ready to go for additive manufacturing but can't afford the machine and I can't outsource it currently. Change the law and I'll have multiple designs printed by different bureaus within a week. And on the additive note, DD missed the mark on their 3d printed suppressor by merely mimicking subtractive methods. The true beauty is being able to optimize the design without previous constraints. |

I wonder if some of those parts are meant as sacrificial bargaining chips.
Getting rid of state and local laws against suppressors, the part about anything bigger than .50 cal no longer being a DD, and the bit in the HPA refunding $200 tax stamps are all nice to have in there. But they're not really high priority compared to the main point of taking suppressors off the NFA. Once Democrats start calling it a threat to public safety and call for compromise, I suspect the removal of those parts will be offered up to satisfy them. Much better alternative than allowing tighter regulations on other things like mags and ammo to satisfy the need for compromise. |

HPA/SHARE would be the opposite of that. The entire industry is watching and quietly making plans, and manufacturers can gradually increase their level of investment as the bill passes. There will probably be an effective date that comes after Trump signs it. In the time between the Senate passing a bill and that bill going into effect, manufacturers can build a stock of inventory ready to roll on day 1. Pallets of suppressors, integrally suppressed firearms, and integrally suppressed uppers could be arriving at distributors within 48 hours. That's my half way logic-based daydream, anyways. |
