NFA / Suppressors / Class III

Let’s take a step back in time. It’s 2020. We’re watching re-runs of the Tiger King, waiting for the price of toilet paper to normalize, tired of wearing masks, and I’m thinking of every dumb way to empty my wallet because I’m stir-crazy AF in a global lockdown. “I should suppress a revolver. That sounds difficult and insane.” So, the journey that I would do 10 out of 10 times again began. I bought an M1895 Nagant revolver chambered in 7.62x38mmR that was imported by Century Arms International (CAI), and started learning what it took to suppress a wheelgun.

Tis the season, hunting season that is. Just in time, Griffin Armament is announcing its new line of Sportsman Ultra Light HD Hunting Suppressors. Promising that your next hunt just got quieter, the Sportsman Ultra Light HD .300 and .36 are designed by hunters, for hunters, and feature maximum suppression while reducing critical weight out in front of your rifle, giving hunters everything they need and nothing they don’t while maintaining budget-friendliness.

Welcome back to another installment of Silencer Saturday. This week we're shifting gears to look at the various generations of SilencerCo hunting rifle cans. It's an interesting progression and also shows some of the design trends in the market over the last few years.

Dead Air Silencers has released the new Lazarus 6 that promises to be, well, everything. The Utah suppressor giant claims unparalleled sound suppression with minimal back pressure and maximum durability, checking every box for hard-use, high-performance tactical applications. Let’s take a closer look at the Lazarus 6 and see how this suppressor sets itself apart from the pack.

Photo Of The Day with some images of what shooters should do a lot more often - shoot rimfire suppressed. It’s very fun and (used to be) an inexpensive way to get a lot of training, without creating too much noise. In many ways, rimfire can be a great way to try out and perfect new shooting styles, like shooting on the move - which is very difficult as the rifle keeps on moving and bumping into your shoulder and other body parts.

Silencers are a great firearm accessory to add to your collection - there simply aren’t any real negatives to purchasing and using a suppressor. Our guest today, Silencer Shop CEO Dave Matheny agrees. Today Dave and I will discuss the current status of the NFA world including what’s really going on with wait times a couple of months after the initial surge, how suppressor manufacturers are keeping up with the increased demand, and how Silencer Shop can help you buy your first, second, or 100th suppressor and make sure your whole family can enjoy them for years to come. Please welcome back Dave Matheny of Silencer Shop to the show!

Dead Air's latest silencer is now shipping. The Nomax 33 is a titanium silencer that accommodates calibers up to .338 Laupa Magnum. And though it can handle large calibers, it utilizes titanium construction to keep the weight down.

SilencerCo have acquired Zev Technologies with the aim of supporting Zev’s shift away from OEM manufacturing to reinforcing their brand as a developer of innovative products like the OZ9 Pistol and the Folding Defensive Pistol (FDP-9) and the Folding Defensive Carbine (FDC-9).

When it comes to firearms, we all start somewhere. Many of us began our shooting experience as kids, often being handed the family rimfire rifle or side-by-side shotgun in bone-stock configuration. It’s not until months or years later that shooters decide to add functional improvements in the way of accessories, and then continue to refine these changes by adding (or removing) pieces as we improve. Silencers (or suppressors) should be viewed as just another accessory that adds functionality to a system that is outfitted for you and your missions. To be clear, a ‘mission’ can be a defensive situation or a purely fun range toy.

HUXWRX has a new blast deflector compatible with their muzzle devices. The Kaibosh redirects sound away from the shooter but does not act as a suppressor. This device is mounted on standard HUXWRX muzzle devices so it can fit easily on any gun with the appropriate flash hider or brake,

Luke C ( @BallisticAviation) is back at GunCon 2024, this time at the LMT Defense booth to talk to Joe about a not-so-well-known fact: you can legally buy an M203 Grenade Launcher. The LMT M203 40mm “Shorty 40″ rail mounted receiver is designed to be used on any Picatinny rail or as a standalone weapon system in tandem with an LMT stock. Completely civilian legal, the M203 40mm is a barrel of fun with hand-loaded rounds, which are also civilian legal.

In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves visits his bros at Q to talk about new guns like the new 5.56mm Honey Badger and 6mm ARC Mini-Fix, as well as a whole ton of new accessories coming including Q's line of handguards and accessories and...flip flops?

Good evening everyone and welcome back to TFB’s Silencer Saturday brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the brand new YHM 338 Bad Larry Suppressor. Last week we discussed holsters for suppressed pistols and a handful of models currently on the market. This week we get out our pocket protectors and nerd caps and talk about the importance of the optimal twist rate for a specific bullet length when shooting a suppressed platform. Fear not, there is no test at the end of today’s lesson. Let’s take a look.
