The first of many. Congratulations
Went to the gun shop and getting my .30-06 threaded and getting an adapter for my Ruger SR-556.
If you can swap out endcaps on that suppressor, get you a .223/5.56 end cap as well as the one on there already. The smaller hole for 5.56 does make a difference if you are going to run it on multiple calibers. Oh...and make sure you have the right one on before firing!
But with that said, suppressors are addictive and you will most likely just order a dedicated 5.56 can!

A dedicated 5.56 can probably works better than the .30 multipurpose can anyway.
And yes, I think I can swap out the end cap on it.

I remember my first suppressor. A Dead Air Nomad .30 cal. I was going to keymo all of my rifles and this would be the only one I would ever need. Now I have 4. For some reason buying suppressors is more addictive than buying guns.
Do you still have it?
I do. It is still the best at sound suppression of the cans I own. I don't have a trust, so I am stuck with what I have.
The ATF sucks. Just repeal the NFA and let us just buy suppressors.

Cool. Ordered my first one also. Waited for Jan. 1 when tax price dropped to $0 - SilencerCo Scythe-Ti
Keep us posted on how long it takes to arrive.

That's what I have. Love it, great size and makes 300wsm a *****cat. I got non-anchor end caps for it in .30 and 2 in .22 and drilled one out to 6.5 (actually a couple thou over, I forget the exact measurement) from hansohn brothers
I went through Silencer Central and they set me up with a free gun trust.

Six here…
I bought my suppressors as an individual. Thinking about transferring to trust now that I won't have to pay $200 per suppressor.
Also thinking about changing over a couple of pistols to SBRs.

With all the reports of scythes coming apart I read this as "how long it survives" on my first pass.
I bought through silencer shop for the $0 tax stamp. Nomad 30, I'll let you know when I get approved.

I just went down the rokslide rabbit hole on this and my takeaway is that I'm not sure why so many people bought one of the lightest 30cal suppressors on the market to use as a range toy. These guys are posting about failure after hundreds of rounds of prc or western...that's like the life expectancy of a barrel!
Interesting viewpoint. I didn't get the impression people were using them for mag dumps from 10.5" ARs. I'd expect any titanium center-fire can to be constructed in a manner that it would last thousands or 10s of thousands of rounds as long as the firing schedule wasn't abusive.
It'll be interesting to see how the Zero Gravity cans fare long term, and if they take away many/most of the buyers of the scythe.

Some wanted to know about the new submittal waits, my Eform individual submitted 01/02 approved on 01/05.
Silencer.
It's not quite like the "silencers" in the movies. With most guns and loads, you still definitely hear the round go off. My Banish 30 V2 is rated for a 30-35 dB sound reduction depending on the rifle and load.

Yes, I know. But the correct term for the yeeter discreeter that goes on the end of your smoke pole, is silencer.
"Suppressor" was a word invented during the Clinton administration to be more politically correct. The original patent for it called it a silencer & it remained that way until the 90s.

Fellow Rokslider. Grabbed one of the Airlock Zero Gravity 6.5's when they had a Black Friday sale/drop. Should ship in the next week or two based on my discussions with the owner. Really hope it is as good as everyone has been saying.
For those that submitted after Jan 1, have yall gotten approvals yet? Whats the backlog like?
ETA: just saw cledus post. good stuff!

I hate when people try to correct me into calling them suppressors.
I bought mine from the Silencer Shop. It was made by Silencerco. It silences the report of my rifle so I only hear the striker and the bullet impact. I'm going to call it a silencer.
Subsonic load? I know my .30-06 won't be silent even when suppressed.
Always. Rimfire

This will be weird, but I think you're a fellow FHK'er too.
ZG's stuff looks cool. I have an unknown OG 6.5, I like the reduction in added length vs other designs. My buddy wants a can for his Tikka CTR 6.5, the barrel diameter precludes the use of the OG 6.5, so I will probably point him towards an airlock.

Same. Grabbed a ZG 6.5 on Black Friday. Excited to put in on my new Tikka 6.5 PRC that's current being cut and threaded.

I'm in Tomball if he wants to shoot it first. And yes, FHK.
Shoot me an email at my username at gmail.
Running mine on a 6.5 PRC as well. Unfortunately I picked barrel length (and it's carbon) before deciding to suppress, so it's 24". Gonna see how unwieldy it is and swap barrel for something shorter if needed.
