Anybody got their suppressors recently? When did you file? I think I filed April 21 2021 and my check was cashed April 29 2021. Still haven’t gotten mine. For some reason, all of my emails from silencershop disappeared within the last couple of months after being in my inbox for almost a year. And I never delete emails. Seems like I’m never going to get it at this point.

Direct from SS or though a SS dealer?

Your dealer can get updates, well even you can get an update yourself from the NFA branch. Most of the time it is pointless but at a year it might be worth the time.

Got mine 2 weeks ago. Ordered about a month before you did.

Mine hit a year on the 13. A buddy has one that he filed a month before mine and still hasn’t got his.

Slightly depressing

Side note: how can I expect my rifle to shoot with the suppressor vs without it? I handload for my 28 nosler and it’s dialed in. Will I have to re-zero it once I put the suppressor on?

Depends. Several factors including silencer weight, baffle design, and gas dynamics come into play. If the silencer has a symmetrical blast baffle, it is less likely to drastically change poi. My CGS cans have basically no poi because of the way they are designed. Thunderbeast is known for little poi too.

Absolutely. Should always check your zero. It may or may not require an adjustment. Depends on a few factors. Tolerance stacking plays a factor in this.

You may have to adjust the load based on what you see. You will probably see a slight increase in velocity.

That’s really interesting. I’ll have to buy a chronograph because I have a leupold CDS scope. So I’ll have to buy a new dial if my velocity changes one way or the other. Appreciate the heads up on that.

You are talking max 20-25 fps. It's not a huge difference. Always check zero when you get a silencer. Should be predictable shift every time you take it on and off. What can did you buy?

Anywhere from a week to 3 months. It's pretty great. Of course, all gun laws are infringements and they should be able to be shipped to your house, that said, this is the best way to run the current system we have.

I’ve been waiting since Sept 2021 for a .22 suppressor from silencer central. I get occasional updates from silencer central saying they’re still waiting on the ATF. It’s frustrating and at this point I won’t be buying any more suppressors.

I know it's frustrating, but this is silly logic. I have been thinking about getting another pistol can just to see if I can get it before the one I've had in jail for over a year.

Griffin bushwhacker 46. I wanted something I could swap between my 28 nosler and my 35 whelen.

This is exactly what the liberals and the ATF want. Don't let them win.
