    Their service and turnaround time has taken a major dive in the last year since the latest round of layoffs in January 18’. Im really surprised to see he received a call back so quickly. As of a couple months ago it was still taking weeks just to speak to someone. Repair was considerably longer. Let’s hope that’s a sign of better service and warranty turnaround time.
    Hate to hear that from them. I guess it was bound to happen with them fooling with shotgun cans and integrally suppressed pistols. Both products that we did not need. I wish they would have stayed on top of new mounting systems and innovative rifle suppressors. They have not done much to the lineup in over 4 years.

      I am not sure what other options he has. SilencerCo indicated it was within spec and said to run it. If he sends it back what would they change without a baffle strike on something that is within spec?

      On a side note, how many of you are chucking up your suppressors and measuring runout before shooting? I would guess near zero. The other option is to sell it, but not disclosing what was found would be shady.

            I've never had a SilencerCo product in my hand before this but I can tell y'all one thing as a manufacturer of aerospace and downhole parts where we have to hold tolerances in the tenths...I'm considering getting a class 3 on top of my current 7 because if they're selling these things for 6-700$ I can make solid 6-4 titanium monocores cheaper and considerably better and I've got a laser etching machine with a rotary axis for current parts anyway...sorry, it's early and I'm waiting for my coffee to brew.

              If you already have a type 7 FFL you only need to apply for a type 2 Special Occupancy Tax (SOT). Frankly, this is the best combination you can have. This allows you to build anything covered under the NFA act and you can act as a transfer for any legal class III item.

              Meaning you can build suppressors, machine guns, etc. You just have to notify the BATFE within a day on certain things. Go for it!

                In my opinion there are still a lot of precision bolt guys that are not happy about Thunder Beast discontinuing their old line of direct thread precision rifle suppressors. I am not sure mono-core is the way to go but if you could build something direct thread that performed like that old TB can for a reasonable price you would have a customer here ready to buy. Perhaps a special TBH direct thread precision rifle suppressor at a decent price? I am not all that worried about it being the absolute lowest DB on the market. My requirement would be hearing safe with a pleasing tone. Look forward to the prototypes!

                  Good chance I’ll be back in touch with our own Sean Cody. He’s done a great job for me on all my other stuff as well and I’d highly recommend him to anyone.

                    The 6-700 includes 2 sets of markup, wholesale distributor & dealer, so I'm guessing the manufacturer is getting $4ish. Still some meat on the bone, but maybe not much by the time you add whatever insurance policy would be needed to cover you, taxes, then there is ITAR....

                      We await your "considerably better," yet still cheaper silencer designs. I'm sure they will be great. I would like to buy one. Keep us posted.

                        You thread barrels for everyone, or just your customers or other dealers, or..?? I would be interested in pricing.

                          I should probably rephrase that as considerably tighter in spec and straightness. They’ve all done their homework on the quiet end and know more about that than I do

                            Just customers. It’s just me in my little shop at the house after work and on weekends so I don’t have the capacity to do a whole lot. I may do a website just for grins but I always said I didn’t want to come home from a job of meeting deadlines to a job at home meeeting deadlines. I tend to refer most folks to APR as they’re a sponsor but also because Robert (Stick1) here on TBH is a superb guy.
