Any reason not to buy their .308 version?
Thanks, Charlie

I'm not sure I fully understand your reply, can you elaborate? I guess I didn't search long enough, I see some of the not so good press now. How do you compare one suppressor vs another? Almost exclusive use will be hog hunting. Here were the other two I was looking at last night SilencerCo Harvester 30 LaRue Tranquillo I've got my Trust done, have the request in for the tax stamp, once that's done, do I then order my choice? Thanks, Charlie

Thanks, Charlie Charlie,You will have to purchase the suppressor first,then apply for the tax stamp. I will suggest buying a Titanium suppessor,the weight savings is well worth the extra price. The POI change with most Titanium cans is minimal.

It has been a while since I researched them but when I did the more I read the less interested I became in their stuff. I can't remember any specifics off the top of my head butt almost every review I read was negative. If your looking in that price range, I would suggest spending a little more and going with the Silencerco Harvester.

On the order of when to do things, Silencer Shop took my order for the Tax Stamp alone with no question. If I was making my own or buying a used one, you would have to have the tax stamp for those situations as well. Not arguing, just saying...
With a little more looking around, the SilencerCo Harvester and Omega both seem to be pretty good pieces with the Omega coming up a little quieter on a magazine test I read. Titanium vs Stainless I get for weight differences. What does can length difference make, affect POI more than another? Sound? The Omega is shorter than the Harvester but quieter.
I weighted my M&P-10 (Rifle, 10 round clip, X-Sight, X-Sight Illuminator, UNV Illuminator, 2 rail mounted round Ni-Cads) and it came in at 14pds. Being that damn heavy, a 1lb or 2lb suppressor won't make much difference.
No one commented on the Larue Suppressor I put the link to above? No interest, not enough difference?
Thanks, Charlie

You can't have a stamp without a serial number to have it paid towards. Just because you pay $200 to Silencer Shop for the stamp doesn't mean that stamp is being processed by the BATFE.
Just to make sure that it is done thoroughly, I go both ways.

Well funny you should mention that... Silencer Shop called me this AM to basically tell me the above. Long story short, I ended up buying an AAC Cyclone and was told it would be about 6 months. Oh well... Thanks for the comments. Charlie
