| A Gemtech T2: Integrated, Suppressed .22LR M16 Top End, any one know where one is? |

No, don't know of any for sale. Gemtech doesn't list a dealer on their site for your state. Do you know of any local C3 dealers? Check with them first - they can probably order one although they aren't listed. That upper looks really good to me. It's one I'd have seriously considered had it been available when I started my build. Same basic look - which is improved by the larger diameter suppressor tube versus a skinny 1" can sticking out of a thick forearm. My only criticism would be the unnecessary forward assist. Gemtech could build you one on a 9mm upper if you so desired though. From there it's easy and cheap to remove the shell deflector and add a normal length dust cover. Great looking upper!

Talked with Gemtech this am. It's not available yet, none have shipped to dealers. They originally were gonna sell em without the bolt, but are now waiting on Ceiner to supply bolts, already several months behind on the plan to releas em, no hard go to market date. Yeah a nice looking upper, no ya dont need the FA, but it is what it is. |
BIG mistake on their part - just ask Midway and Brownell's. Particularly with Spikes upcoming release of what promises to be a far superior product. Everybody knows Ciener is slow and, well, worse. They could just be saying that as a plausible excuse for other delays in producing the upper. |

Ciener has become the universal whipping boy, not that he doesn't richly deserve it. I remember several years ago there was a legitimate shortage or drywall in the construction business. Local builders used this as an excuse for at least a year after the real shortage ceased. |
No, I'm referring to the case deflector. Doubt it does much for gas and that's certainly not its primary function. The one on my LRM 169 suppressed 9mm sure doesn't seem to help with that much - you can barely breathe or see after a full mag dump.  As seen here:  From RRA:  Removed and dustcover replaced in my .22.:  |
