She WILL be mine (NFA)

The compressor doesn't really tickle my fancy. SBR 556 guns don't really offer anything IMO. SBR needs to be a heavier slower projectile since it is a cqb weapon.

[smokin feathers]

yes mgm, but doing a contender barrel instead of encore so it would be lighter.

T/C custom shop looks to be gone for good

[BuckySWT]

ahh.

need to look into that...have the encore already. New bbl would be an easy add.

also...from what I'm reading...the 300BLK needs no other mods other than a new barrel on the AR platform. Noveske makes several bbl sizes from 8 - 16" for the AR in 300BLK.

[BuckySWT]

is the 300BLK a custom order from MGM...I can't find it on their site?

for the encore?

[BuckySWT]

bueller?

guess I could just call

here's a question:

If you were just getting into the Class 3 game as I am, and don't have unlimited funds...what sould be the best bang for your buck? (no pun...sort of)

1) Ruger Mark II/III with Spectre can (got stuff to trade for the pistol) so $$ goes for just the can and stamp

OR...just a .22 Bolt action, chopped to 16"...same can (quieter)

Applications: straight out fun, cheap to shoot, cheapest to get into, coon irradication

2) 300BLK Barrel for my encore and a can for that (no clue what those cost, but I imagine they're up there).

Applications: super duper quiet with no moving parts (seen video of one...yikes), hog irradication, 2nd cheapest

3) Start building the SBR I want, take my time, start with the lower and piece it together...noveske barrel, etc until a next summer or so I've built and saved up enough to finish it. (this is the least likely funds wise with a baby due in 4.5 months).

Applications: Hogs...in greater numbers, Mexiterrestrials at the ranch (i.e. self defense from drug runners...there are more and more on cams on our place), fun, fun and more fun plinking.

Depends what you want, 22 cans are the coolest factor as everyone wants to shoot those. Non subsonic ammo in any gun is just so that you can shoot without hearing protection. Well, among other reasons. I wouldnt waste my time on a single shot can gun. Do a bolt gun instead.SBR's are fun but I shoot my sbr's the least out of all my fun stuff.

gracias!!

we like to have fun during deer season, but shooting up the night killing coons at feeders is something we prefer not to do. We have a small place (sub 200 ac) and though the deer always come back...the times that we've gone out and laid waste to the coon populationhave resulted in a lack of deer sightings the next couple of days.

so...to combat that...suppressed .22 with subsonic loads. a Mark II would be easy to pack around, very accurate, and a lot of fun to shoot. Plus I can do some horsetrading for the pistol itself, so all I have to worry about funding is the can and the stamp.

[BuckySWT]

ooooh....now these look cool...

My buddy is currently considering his first NFA item just like you. My first purchase was a 30cal can so I can put it on any weapon smaller than 300 win mag. My suggestion for my friend was to purchase a "multi" marked lower and get it registered for SBR. If you get the SBR registered in multi there are several caliber choices to choose from (22lr,223,6.8,300blk) with just one stamp. Also, it lets you build your rifle a little at a time as funds are available with the stuff you want on it. I've been looking at 22 cans lately and I think I have decided on the element by AAC, my second choice is the stainless sparrow from silencerco.

I'm not sure how an SBR stamp would work if you used it on a thompsons center. Does it work like the AR-15 where the receiver is the stamped part or is each individual stamped? Anyone know?

[texag93]

I need to get off my butt and get my paper work done for my can and SBR. Mine will be a 8" 9mm AR with can and full length hand guard. 147gr. subsonics are mucho quiet out of it.

so with the 300 blk...any 30 cal can will work?

8" will be too fast for some ammo.. they will go trans-sonic to supersonic...I used a 5" tros barrel for mine... everything 147 and up are sub this way..

You don't have to have a multi marked lower to mark multiple calibers. You can use any lower marked 223 or 5.56 and put any caliber that would fit in an AR and roll with it on your stamp. You should call if you get rid of the original configuration with ATF however.

No need to sbr a tc. A 16" barrel on a tc is under 30" overall length.

IMO, encores and contenders are a waste for sbr or any NFA use such as cans. At minimum a complete upgraded tc gun will cost more and be less accurate than a factory Remington gun. Plus you have more than one shot, quickly.

Yes it should.
