Well, shot my 7.62-SDN-6 this weekend and I'm totally sold on the experience. Shot about 75 rounds of .308 full house loads completely hearing-safe and no degradation of group size. There was a shift in POI, however. About 3 inches lower and slightly to the left.

But there's always a "but", eh? I loaded a dozen 200 gr subsonics based on a known receipe of 10.0 gr of Trailboss. At 100 yds they hit the dirt befor they got to the backstop so I ran one throught he chronograph. Lo and behold, only 743 fps instead of 1100 +/-. They sorta dribbled out the end of the barrel. But I don't think 1100 would have shot appreciably higher; certainly not on the paper. I was hoping sub- and super would be a little closer together. But after experiencing the hearing comfort of this suppressor I think subsonics are superfluous.

I think a pressure pad in the forearm or grip area would be pretty functional.

I just mailed another Form 4.

Let's see how long this one takes.

Last F4 sent in on 2/14/12. Not been approved yet. Is for a very robust dedicated 5.56 can.

I think I've bought the last suppressor for a while. Only one left that I might be interested in might be a 45 caliber rig.

Dealer called today (Tuesday 8/14/12) to let me know that he's received the approved F4. Will pick up the can tomorrow. <smiling broadly!!!>

My first two stamps were approved last week just over six month from when the forms were sent), and they should arrive at my dealer this coming week.

The lead will be flying around here!

In a few months my next stamp should arrive:

I was told that the lady at BATFE who was singlehandedly processing applications now has been given 3 assistants. Hopefully this will improve turn around time. I hope so, I just bought a new can for my Ruger 22/45 with a threaded muzzle.

Which suppressor did you buy for your .22? I bought a Gemtech Outback II.

With CCI Quiet ammunition, it is no louder than an air rifle, although the ammunition will not cycle my .22/45 or my 10/22.

George,
I bought an AAC pilot

I will use it on a new Ruger 22/45 with a threaded barrel.

Six months to the day.

Now that my state of Wyoming has okayed suppressors for hunting, I would imagine BATF will get very busy. Good we have such a small population ..... imagine if CA or NY made them legal !

I spoke with the folks involved with my application, this week. I applied in September. I was told it would be 30-45 more days.

Almost as bad as waiting on a pair of custom boots. Except that I know this will fit when I get it!

It took one week short of six months from check cashing to approval for the suppressor I picked up last week.

This was two weeks faster than the last time. I hope that once they burn through the backlog, times will improve further (unless Obama decides that NFA Branch will suffer under the sequester).

George

Another 6 months to the day!

My Pilot arrived Tuesday afternoon! Man is that thing quiet! Especially with that Aguilla Colibri ammo. Won't cycle the action, but man is it quiet!

I am now two weeks over 6 months.

My last three transfers were 6 months to the day.

It won't be Obama, it is Congress who decides to pass a better budget or not. And it is also up to the BATE on how they distribute their money. Just as it is up to the Navy to decide if I get furloughed at the shipyard I work at or not.

They're telling me 8 months presently...oh well, don't have to do it many times.

I just completed month 7 on my application. Hopefully something soon.

7 1/2 months

Submitted November 2012 received stamp June 2013.

ATF is now telling folks to expect 9 months after going pending ... and it is taking two months or so for Forms received to go pending.

Is gonna be a LONG wait for new applications!

Seeing as how you can now pay via credit/debit card, the delays that were encountered while Atlanta (where checks were cashed) bundled the forms for shipment to West Virginia should be eliminated.

George

Form 1s for SBRs submitted on 9-23-2013
Received stamps 06-17-2014

Submitted Jan 16 (2015). Got it May 12. Couple days shy of four months.

They seem to be getting more efficient!

My last two have come in at about 3.5 months.

Sent my form 1 in on 3-16-15 and received it back approved on 7-2-15.

It might be entertaining to get ATF approval while still a California resident...the inverse of medical marijuana where the state nullifies federal enforcement.

My last was about 4.5 months.

Just sent in my form 4 for a suppressor today I wonder how long this one will take.

My last one came in about a month ago. It was around four months from mailing to approval.

I heard from my dealer today that he had a form 4 come back 7 weeks from the bay it was sent. I really hope that's true sense I bought a silenerco specwar 5.56 yesterday.

Form 1 Submitted 5-11-15. Approved 9-06-15

I just got mine back in 71 days

Called the NFA branch today to check the status of my form 4 and it was approved on 9-20-15 now just waiting for the paperwork to arrive at the dealer so I can pick-up my specwar 556.

My dealer called yesterday and said my tax stamp is in. I will be picking up my suppressor tomorrow!

Congratulations! Post a review once you've used it.
