That's a surprisingly good price for an all-Ti 12ga can that comes with a mount and chokes.
RIP to any silencer company that doesn't have the operating capital to wait it out until the end of January, though.
Damn, that's going to mess up the balance of your gun. A 1 pound mass out at the end of a 26"+ inch barrel isn't going to be fun to swing around all day.
