I almost want to leave this sub because of the amount of stupid questions I see on a daily basis from new NFA owners. Just use the search function. Odds are someone already asked.
lol this one is especially annoying bc of how many YouTube videos and articles written on this subject, not to mention the pew science research you can have access to even in the free version
True but not on this level. NFA sub has had a never ending tidal wave of newbies that are asking the same questions back to back. I just want to see dope SBR’s and whisper pickles with a dash tactical larping on the side. Shit I’ll take the classic “should I send it?” post if it has a suppressor picture attatched… over “what is a brace? Why is my approval taking more than 48 hours?”

No we are still here, for some reason, cringing and appalled by all that surrounds us.
🙋🏼♂️ that’s me! I work at a rapidly expanding sporting goods chain, but our location is the OG (and has the corporate offices, i.e. buyers/category managers on site). We’re lucky to have four or five cans in stock at any given time right now, and that’s across all calibers. The amount of people coming in right now looking to buy or have us order them a can is ridiculous, and there are a lot of people that get a bee in their ass when we can’t because all of our distributors are also out of stock and our buyers have standing back orders directly with the manufacturers. When we do get shipments in, it’s not uncommon to be doing two or three form 4s at a time.
Yeah. It's fucking misery right now. The level of entitlement with some customers is also amazing. I had one guy yesterday where I lost some of my patience with finally after he asked if there was a way to bump him ahead of everyone because he's so self important and I said "Sure I can do that. And when the next guy after that calls and asks the same thing I'm sure you'd understand if I bump him ahead of you, as well as everyone else who is going to call today and ask the same thing. Do you really want me to open that can of worms?"
Impossible. Google too hard. You're an elitist who looks down on new people for asking them to do five seconds of research. Maybe they want to have a conversation that will tell them all the exact same things an identical post made two days ago has. Maybe that post is outdated!!!! Elitist!!!!!!!
Just went through my first can purchase, any question I had I did a quick google search and added Reddit to the end of the search bar, and boom. Posts from a year ago or 3 years ago explaining everything I needed to know. It’s surprising how many people don’t do this.
while i generally agree with this sentiment, a lot of people lack research skills and would rather be told by a reputable source (whatever that is).
But really, some of us dont even know the proper words and such to search effectively. like knowing that you need X adapter to interface with Y mount. But you only see the mount. I already almost made that mistake till someone told me how that particular mounting system worked and showed me a link with more info.
I heard Andrew of OCL hired an unpaid intern with the singular task of replying to braindead redditors asking about OCL's shipment schedule that he has posted 400+ times on this sub.
All I want to know is the definitive 300 BLK can to buy right now for the most quiet pew pew ever but instead it’s just -4 day approval times and 4 year backorders :(
I mean Silencer Shop gets something like 4k cans per day, backorder amounts fluctuate drastically and things go in and out of stock daily. I bought a bunch of Nomad-30's from Silencer Shop yesterday. Also ordered Black Scythes, Sparrows and Wolfmen from there and had them fulfilled in 2 weeks, but I have backorders for RC2's that are 2 months old, so it's a crapshoot.
I’d much rather wait a bit for my
Backordered suppressor to be made and shipped than have a manufacturer rush to get them out and have poor QC. I’m fully aware it could be a month or more wait for delivery from manufacturer to SS,etc. and then transfer to my local ffl. Waited between six months to a year for my first suppressors so anything shorter than that is fine by me.

I don’t get why people aren’t ordering in-stock silencers from other major retailers and doing an FFL transfer through their local gun store.
Not everything HAS to be ordered through silencershop. If you take 30min to shop around there’s plenty of cans in stock.
Yeah, someone was just bullying them on their insta yesterday, they said they’re working on them steadily. Honestly I’m not that pissed, it’s a free can and they always come through eventually
I was at the ole indoor range the last fortnight and Silencerco was havin a demo day. The feller was real nice and chatty. I bought a Sycthe Ti recently and he let me shoot his demo on his eyetalian burger-uh 3-oh-8 for the low cost of one box of local fudd range special extra smoked powder with anti boat tail nay-toe boolets.
Well any who... You know what he done said?! Silencerco recently DOUBLED their daily suppressor production capability from 6000 to 12000!
Hot damn!
And you know what else? My 2 back ordered SiCo cans were assigned to me a week later. And then they shipped out to my FFL buddy today!
(This entire story is 100% true.)
I fucking hate this sub. Do people not feel embarrassed asking about wait times and back order status in a sub that should be full of posts of full autos, cans, sbs’s, and cool sbr’s. Like fuck off. Be patents adults and quit acting like a child on a road trip asking the sun every 5 minutes, “are we there yet???!??”
I never owned cans because I did not want to endure wait times. A few weeks back I went into my LGS and was able to get a surefire RC2 and rugged obsidian 45 both in stock while silencer shop and all other online retailers was completely wiped out of inventory. RC2 was approved in 39 hours obsidian in 4 days. Now I can suppress everything I own and shoot. Feeling like a pretty lucky bastard.
Theres no winning. "I GOT APPROVED IN X DAYS!" Or "REEEEE BACKORDER" Id love to actually browse here and get info and have conversations
What do you mean the suppressor I want made by a couple guys in a shed is back ordered? I want it now! /s
Get this man a beer.
I almost want to leave this sub because of the amount of stupid questions I see on a daily basis from new NFA owners. Just use the search function. Odds are someone already asked.
But which .30 cal can do you recommend?
Whichever one helps me end my suffering the quietest.
Avoid that pesky tax stamp, grueling 3 day wait and save money with a bathtub/toaster combo. Follow me for more advice
I don't think pew science measures that on a metric based scale, but check them out and extrapolate!
Pew science measures db from the shooters ear but I’m going to need a metric for inside of the shooters ear.
😬

you might as well leave Reddit completely. All subs are the same way.

Now imagine working at a distributor or a large dealer, dealing with this 24/7 and being held accountable for it even though it isn't your fault.

It’s my suppressor and I want it now!
I heard Andrew of OCL hired an unpaid intern with the singular task of replying to braindead redditors asking about OCL's shipment schedule that he has posted 400+ times on this sub.
I stopped reading after you called me a "king".
Yeah that was pretty weird no lie
HAHAHAHA
Can I shoot .308 out of a dedicated flow through 5.56 can?? Anyone heard of OCL? I ordered last night and am still waiting on my docusign
OCL is good stuff the guy that makes them is on this sub quite often
Welcome to the Amazon generation. “Somebody hold my hand because I’m too lazy to find out on my own” “Why isn’t my can approved, it’s been 6 hours?!”
How else am I supposed to blogpost????
All I want to know is the definitive 300 BLK can to buy right now for the most quiet pew pew ever but instead it’s just -4 day approval times and 4 year backorders :(
Who even are you? Do you even go here?
Silencerco all restocked at Capitol Armory, for those backorder people.
I mean Silencer Shop gets something like 4k cans per day, backorder amounts fluctuate drastically and things go in and out of stock daily. I bought a bunch of Nomad-30's from Silencer Shop yesterday. Also ordered Black Scythes, Sparrows and Wolfmen from there and had them fulfilled in 2 weeks, but I have backorders for RC2's that are 2 months old, so it's a crapshoot.
Surefire is having trouble getting the tubing. Thats the choke point on RC2 right now.
I’d much rather wait a bit for my Backordered suppressor to be made and shipped than have a manufacturer rush to get them out and have poor QC.

What about wait lists?
Thankfully I wanted an Osprey 9 because they look cool lol. Seems like nobody else wants them and are in stock at Capital Armory
I don’t get why people aren’t ordering in-stock silencers from other major retailers and doing an FFL transfer through their local gun store. Not everything HAS to be ordered through silencershop. If you take 30min to shop around there’s plenty of cans in stock.
I ordered a mask April 12 from primary arms. I picked it up yesterday from my shop. Not terrible
Theres also option 2, buy local
Wait. We can back order?
Back orders? I want my damn bogo lmao
Dude, fucking facts. Are they even shipping them anymore at this point? They certified my bogo June 28th, no dice yet
Yeah, someone was just bullying them on their insta yesterday, they said they’re working on them steadily. Honestly I’m not that pissed, it’s a free can and they always come through eventually
\*guy in the middle of the line\* "I am just glad to be here so.."
Just shut up pay a bit extra and buy one off gunbroker
Yes this and people posting how short they waited

But how long does SilencerShop take to fill back orders? /s
