Woohoo! Just spoke to the ATF and my big batch of eight cans were approved on Friday. Now I just gotta wait for the stamps to show up at my dealer.... Here's the list of what I get to pick up:
Surefire SOCOM762-RC-FDE Surefire SOCOM556-Mini-FDE Griffin M4SDK Silencerco Octane 45 HD FDE Silencerco Osprey 45 AAC Evolution 9 Silencerco Spectre II Silencerco Sparrow SS Lets hope for a fun weekend....... |

Will do. I picked up an AAC Prodigy, Gemtech Trek-T, and a TiRANT-9 last month (along with an AOW) so with my old cans I'm getting a healthy collection. Got another 8 cans in jail. Quoted:

Bottom three are still waiting on form 3. It's really slowed down. |

You and I have a different definition of "healthy" I plan to consider my collection of 7 cans "healthy" We're also clearly in different tax brackets 
I too am excited for pictures  I'll just be happy to be able to post in the Mk18 thread with Surefire cans...... I've still got a couple months till the SOCOM-SB's clear so it'll have to be with the 762-RC and the Mini. Can't wait to shoot the mini. Seems like such a cool little can. I want to see how it and the Griffon stack up against my old 18t M4-2000. |

Eight more in jail...I don't feel so bad about buying 5 in the last 6 months Shot it took me a whole year to purchase 8 cans, I still need 1-2 more before I feel comfortable. The Salvo has me in a dilemma...not sure if it's worth it. Only thing I use shotguns for is birds, and I'm usually hunting with at least 2 other guys who definitely won't be suppressed. |

Have you handled the cb9? That's the only non SiCo can I would consider owning. Yes, I have. I picked it up for future bolt-action precision use. Nice feeling and looking can. Very well constructed. I'm not thrilled with the barrel length limits (14.5" on 556) but I'd be using it on 308 or better with a long barrel anyway. It is scary light for a 300 WM rated can. I'll be using my Saker and the Surefire for most of my 30 cal needs, but I figured I'd pick up the CB9 while it was easy. Thunder Beast has a hell of a reputation in the long range bolt world. Figured they all can't be wrong. I can get CLEO sign-off without a problem, but I wanted to cover the bases with the trust before 41p became an issue (if it does). |

All three of my recent "packs" have taken no more than two weeks to get here. Last one was approved on a Saturday and my dealer got the stamps on the following Saturday. |

Awesome can, but is discontinued. I would get the Ultra-9 or Ultra-7. The Ultras are lighter, stronger, and more quiet then the CB series. OP, nice collection. We have similar tastes! |

I am in the same boat with the Salvo. I bought 10 cans since July, have everything from .308-.22 (and multiples of .22/9/5.56). Just can't pull the trigger on the Salvo, as the bang for the buck doesn't seem to be all that good. |

Figured I wouldn't use it much, but it's better to have and not need, than need (more like want) and not be able to get on the trust (without getting my wife fingerprinted....). |

Congrats on the approvals but I wouldn't get too excited on getting the stamp soon. I was approved 2/28 and just got the stamp 3/26. A lot of folks are saying 4 weeks to receive stamp. My longest so far has been a little over two weeks on my first trust form 4. Otherwise mine have been fast. I'm not going to hold my breath. After this batch, I've got plenty of other stuff coming in but the only ones I'm really excited about is the two SOCOM-SB's and the Saker. Rest of 'em are mostly duplicates of what I've already got. |

Please post your impressions of the Griffin M4SDK. I'm interested in that can. Will do. I've played with it at the shop and so far the mounting system impresses me. I know another user did a mini review of one. My "issue" will be getting the time to compare all the cans. I want to see how the SOCOM cans sound against my old M4-2k and my new Trek-T, I want to see how the M4SDK does, then there's all the pistol and 22lr cans..... |

I've got the spectre2 but have a major hard on for the Element 2. |
