#SilencerShop

Silencer Shop is heating things up this summer, helping you take advantage of faster-than-ever NFA approval times, by offering Free Tax Stamps on Daniel Defense SBRs all August! Whether you are looking for a factory Form 4 rifle or want to use the Silencer Shop SBR Builder to create the Form 1 rifle of your dreams, Silencer Shop is taking the $200 sting out of your purchase.  

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!

Good morning everyone and welcome back to TFB’s Silencer Saturday series brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the YHM Turbo 5.56 and YHM Resonator R2 rifle suppressors. Last week we sat down with the AMTAC Mantis and discussed the pros and cons of over-the-barrel reflex style suppressors. This week we take a look one of the most frequently asked questions when a shooter is shopping for an AR-15 suppressor – is a 5.56mm can quieter than a 7.62mm can? But the bigger issue is why James Reeves got it wrong.

Ah, the final days of a very TFB Christmas are upon us. And what better way of keeping those silent nights (or days, afternoons, anytime really) actually silent then by gifting yourself a quality pistol suppressor. Lucky for you, or whomever is buying your gift, the market is especially rich with options at the moment.

Down at Big 3 East, last March, IWI USA VP Mike Kassnar, set aside fifty X95s for the writers in attendance. I eagerly jumped at the opportunity to get my hands on the X95 for review. I have only had a little trigger time behind the older Tavor SAR. I recall one of my earliest experiences was with an 18″ FDE Tavor that someone got and he put a QD Gemtech suppressor on it. It had a Mepro sight and we were hitting steel off hand at 200 yards with ease. However when it was suppressed, there was a significant amount of gas to the face. I was perplexed. The Tavor has a long stroke gas piston operation. I was under the impression that was one of the benefits of shooting a piston operated gun as there would be less gas returning into the chamber and thus less gas to the face. I was wrong. There are a few companies that make gaskets to further block the gas escaping from the factory blocked left side ejection port. Such as Manticore Arms’ Port Cover and Gear Head Works FLEx Swivel.

We are living in a Golden Age of suppressors. The market is flush with caliber ratings, high-tech materials, new mounting options and a host of accessories. If you have ever thought about owning a suppressor, or even if you haven’t, let’s walk you through your first purchase from start to finish. Believe me, you want one. Ok, more than one.

YHM, or Yankee Hill Machine, has been a long time (if under the radar) company manufacturing suppressors. They manufacture a bevvy of options, across handguns, rifles, and rimfire. Of particular interest (at least to myself) is their integrally suppressed 10/22 barrel.
