Well, I received the form 4 from my class 3 today.  There is a lonely SRT hurricane can in Anchorage in my name on it.  I will impatiently be waiting starting tomorrow after I ship of the form 4 to the .gov's.  I am going the trust route, so I won't have to take the time with the APD.  I am SO looking forward to about this time next month.  I think it will complement my SBR nicely.

Email sent

The person I used was only able to get the min depth penetration with the laser, so although it is up to snuff as per regs, I am hesitant to refinish or paint it because there isnt really any fudge factor.  
When I do my next one it will most likely go to Orion Arms for engraving.  He does very good work and I have only heard good things about him.

no problem.....your local Trooper post will sign off, if you do not live in a jurisdiction w/o a PD.  If your Police Chief will not sign.. just form a Trust...still easy!

absolutely, 100%, TRUE.  

You don't have to pay for the CCW permit but you have to show proof that you took the class.  Call Steve at Alaska Tactical.

Go corporate or trust.  No signoff, no prints, no photos, no BS.  [broken record]

Update

Well, One step away.  ATF cashed my check on the 20th.  So I guess this is the official wait.  ATF is processing the application, not rejecting it out of hand.

Not really true

They cash the check and then forward the paperwork on to the BATFE examiners.  My guess is if you called it wouldnt even show up in the system yet.

You shold know where you stand in 6-8 weeks.

All cashing the check means is that a mail room employee has recieved your forms

I agree, they cashed my check, then several weeks later told me I was missing paperwork....which I had sent them. Probably got lost on someone's desk.
No one wants you to get your can more than I do....I am tired of your loud gun.  You're cramping my style Greybear!!
See ya on Thursday!

Strange, when I submitted my form 1 paperwork, they returned my check with my paperwork so I might submit the entire package.  Oh well, I guess I'll continue to wait.

The wait is much less.  Just the time it takes to drive from my house to my Class 3.  I am leaving now.  Soon I will have to update my schedule A with a suppressor.

I know of two ARFer's that will be at Birchwood Sunday evening.

I won't be there as I have to work.

Maybe one of them will see this and make an offer.

Absolutly!  If you're an EPM we're going to arrive around 5ish and shoot for a few hours.  I think the range closes around 6pm for normal folks & then we will stick around as the place clears out and do some fun stuff

IDK if I can get there tomorrow, with Moms day and all.  Hopefully I can link up with you guys some tome though.

IMHO a suppressed 223 was a major let down.  I was already to drop the money on one and then I actually heard one.
MP5SD on the other hand  My buddy (who is a posting member here) has a transferable one.  Its probably one of the most fun guns ever
5/10/2008 9:58:44 PM EDT
[#36]
I too have an SRT can for my M4; it's quiet but you need to roll your own if you want top notch performance.

My MP5SD and MP5 w/AWC suppressor were almost the same decible and I couldn't stand shooting the SD because of all the powder blowback  Anyway you'll have fun & we'll get to play sometime!

Just shot my first suppressor up at my cabin today... I now believe that EVERY weapon should be suppressed.  I picked up my YHM Phantom SS from Steve on Thursday and had to run up to Petersville today so I took it along.  I don't understand why a lot of people say don't make a 5.56 can your first can.  I did my first 3 shots unsuppressed with muffs on as a reference... then shot 3 suppressed shot with muffs on...  After that, the only time I put my muffs back on was to shoot my .22lr Kimber with high velocity winchesters.  My Kimber and my buddy's 22/45 were much louder then my suppressed Bushmaster.  

I'm hooked!
~Dg84

Oh, and I now see why a SBR is the next natural progression after getting a can.
5/11/2008 7:34:45 AM EDT
[#38]
Yeah the SBR makes the suppressed rifle as a whole more manageable for length.  That extra pound at the end of the barrel can add up after long shooting periods.  

I for one have liked the suppressed Ar's.  I have only shot a Halo so far.  The largest thing i have noticed is the buffer spring noise in cheaper buffer tubes, such as the tube I have .  It has machine ribbing in it from when it was cut.  THe spring makes a lot of racket going over it.  I am waiting for my new tube...
