I once didn't want to be on any more "lists" than I probably already was on, so that was another factor. But now .... I've assumed I'm on enough lists that one more won't make any real difference. Now, it's just the price that matters any more. (sigh!) And I doubt that'll change much or very rapidly. Well ..... OK ...... I've lived this long without one, and I guess I can make it to the end without one, but .... one sure could be nice ..... and interesting as well!
    Some of the rimfire ones are $99, and there are some decent budget options in the $400-600 range. Certainly not a dime a dozen, but not as expensive as most people think.

    If they can get these things to where people can buy them without suffering an NFA ordeal, I suspect that smart people who are new to the game will jump in. I wouldn't be surprised if silencers become a whole lot cheaper and a great deal more effective.

    Cheap with no gov red tape. It's just another honey pot for the Feds, right now.

    The Fed's make 0% on all NFA tax in fact it is the same as the Inheritance tax. It costs more to do than it brings in.

    Just cause I could.

    I got three.


    Most every firearm I have would not pass the need test.

    You won't be able to convince people of this fact. One of the reasons for the long wait is there aren't enough agents to process the paperwork. If they were making money off the tax they would be able to hire more agents to handle the workload. And I just want to clarify that I said it was ONE of the reasons for the long wait. It's certainly not the only one.

    2: I would buy one if they were like buying a handgun, background check, etc,

    3: I would buy one only if they were sold as an accessory, like grips, or a sling and I could get it mail order.

    I would like to see them become accessories. If criminals want them they're already making them illegally. Even if they become the same as buying a firearm we should be able to make our own.

    For anyone on the fence, Capitol Armory down in Taxes is running another of their wild specials. The AAC Ti-Rant 45 (works on .44 Special as well as 9, 40, and 45) is either $350, free when you buy any two other cans, free when you buy any SBR, SBS, AOW, or Machinegun, or free with $1500 in accessories. Stamp is still extra, but I bought two cans from them with no problem. Good way to start stamp collecting..

    They are illegal here in Canada if I could I would buy or build one fir every rifle I own. Less noise less recoil. A lot f ranges are bee shut down because of noise here and this would help.

    Was shooting my 300 WinMag R-1 today with the GEMTECH One on it. Just needed soft ear plugs and recoil was cut in 1/2.

    Since the One works on my AUG, AR 15s, AR10, Tikka T3 target, Kimber Adirondack, M-70 BOSS, X-Bolt ..... need I go on ? Cost is hardly an issue !

    Its very relaxing to shoot and only hear a 22rf bullet hit its target.on centerfire its nice to get rid of a lot of flash and blast, helps your accuracy no end .
