    The concept of an inexpensive suppressor is nice, and so we're discussing the positives and negatives of the prototype announced.

    There is no reason to resort to passive baiting on this forum. Thanks.

    I had the oppertunity to check out this suppressor for a few minutes at SHOT. I was impressed, especailly considering the price.

    In fact, many gun owners are frankly not comfortable with our existance - as shown by the many negative responses we all read about over and over from "guys at the gun range" or range officers who call the local police the 1st time they see a supressor in use.

    Imagine if every gun owner out there was familiar enough with supressors that they understood they are lawful to own?

    Imagine if they also understood that we, the Title II owning community, had ALL gone through background checks and were under far more strenuous registration requirements than most guns owners, and our guns were almost vever involved in crimes? Maybe they would even want to own one lawfully.

    The problem is that NFA is so insignificant due to laws that have been put in place.

    If there was no NFA/Hughes amendment, ever AR15 sold in every store would be select fire and have a 14.5" barrel and nobody would think anything different because there wouldn't be anything different.

    I did the same thing, but when I got the $$ for a SBR I gave my 14" w/pinned FH to my wife. Win all around!

    Does anyone know if the Vltor is able to be opened for cleaning? If not, is the ability to open a supressor a handy feature?

    If it IS really $300, then that's what you'd pay for a Gemtech Outback. Having a can that can do .22LR or 5.56mm for the price of an entry-level .22LR can is very attractive.

    According to the video its all sheet metal baffles, with the only machined parts being the mount and sleeve. The European market is full of $300 sheet metal suppressors so this doesnt seem like a new concept.

    We just get wrapped around the axle about having bomb-proof cans because of the hoops and fees we have to jump through. That being said I dont think sheet metal baffles is for me, unless they will warranty them for a certain round count.

    He did use the word "disposable" in the video, in relation to the military's interest in the suppressor.

    Wonder how that plays out on a typical civilian shooting schedule.
