    A brand new one is only a couple hundred more. $700 is not a steep enough discount, in my mind.

    Agreed. $550-600 would be my personal price range with 2000 rounds through it.

    I'd have no qualms buying that. I have one waiting on paperwork at a store here in town and it'll be $1000 out the door, but includes a mount.

    More than a $200 discount is pretty good for 2k rounds of 300BLK. If you don't buy it, send me the details =).

    $300 off of retail is not that much. If I'm doing federal paperwork on an item, it would need to be closer to the $600-$500 range if it is used.

    I think the point here is that the suppressor has been exposed to approximately 2000 rounds using unknown brand ammunition and a so-far-unknown barrel length.

    That's a big gamble, brother.

    AAC makes good kit, but I would not pay that close to retail for ANY used suppressor. That's just my humble opinion.

    Just remember you're the one stuck with the can for life, man. I'd rather pay a few more hundred $$ and get brand new one so that I can fire those 2,000 rounds myself.... think of it as 2,000+ less trigger pulls you can do.

    It's primarily the fact that you have to buy tax stamps and be practically attached to NFA items that would make me wanna buy new.

    ALSO, if you asked about it on this forum here, you ALREADY have doubts. NEVER, EVER, EVER buy an NFA item you're not 100% sure about and super excited about. Been there done that, and it sucks.

    Unless they were talking about a massive discount (like letting you have it for $400 bucks) I wouldn't bother. Buy a new one.
    If you aren't armed when you take a dump in your own home then your opinion on what is a practical daily carry weapon isn't interesting to me.

    Carbon buildup (or any kind of buildup) is not really a concern in rifle cans at all.

    The concern and issue is baffle erosion which is the primary 'killer'.
