I am sure this is often discussed, but I dont come over here often, and a search yielded nothing.

I am just wondering if any of you have an opinion on the ST Compressor in 556? I am kinda sorta thinking of SBR'ing something and putting a can on it. Basically would love the same setup as the Compressor. Apparently there is no backorder info so I was wondering what the rumors are as far as lead time, and if any are in the wild yet>

Does the ST Compressor offer anything I cant just do myself?

For the record, I am a Spikes fan and a 16" model is my main AR right now.

I would doubt the wait is too long.  consider building one if possible would be my 2 cents.  an 8" suppressed barrel is cool...but i'm not sure how practicle.  Though the compressor is one of the sexiest SBRs. I would build something identical in an 10.5 or 11.5"  

Maybe check out spikes area in the industry section for better info on the compressor

Thanks, I did a quick look in Spikes section and there wasnt much talk of it. That was what led me to think there werent many in the wild yet.

I am leaning more toward avoiding the stamps and trying to find another Recce like I had. The problem with that is that it will lead to an expensive optic.

I went on the waiting list through a class III dealer over a year ago he says they have not called him since. I jumped on that gun almost at day one.

Thats not too bad at all. I am pretty sure I am on the lookout now for a Noveske Recce if I can find a nice one.

I wouldnt mind getting on the list for one. I am set to go for my first SBR/Can etc, and I think the Compressor would be an awesome start. Anyone know what the street price is? I guess with the wait it is probably going for retail?

That's good to know that they're finally shipping. Hopefully it's not just a handful that went out. I'm anxious to see the MRS-1 tested.

I ordered one for a customer around the end of January/beginning of February.  They stated they would have them built by April/May, and then Form 3 it to us.  That plus the six months for the form 4 will put it at about 8-10 months.
