Don't know the size, but a dentist could take a drill and maybe slot it so a flathead would work. I'd be willing to try.

At the rate I'm selling guns, I feel like Santa [emoji318], but I have a few coming too...which is why I love my C&R FFL 1948 fully engraved K22 and a 1961 Browning Grade II .22 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is what I use. It is absolutely the bomb. Only use on stainless steel or titanium. I have multiple suppressors and throw them all in together and let it spin overnight. They come out like new. http://smith-wessonforum.com/reloading/257907-stainless-steel-media-tumbling-info-guide.html Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I already have element 1, element 2, ss sparrow, liberty essence, mite, and spectre 2.... Plus Thompson machine integral for the ruger takedown and an AAC dragonfly for a Buckmark pistol...I'm a pretty big fan of 22lr:) I'm just pumped that I can start SBRing guns now with virtually no wait. Might make a bolt action one too:)

Just spent the afternoon filling out and e-form 1 for an SBR. It looks like it all went through. Should I get the lower engraved now? I am taking the upper off my SW 15-22P and putting it on my 15-22 rifle. What do I have engraved? My trust name and city and state? If so, who in the Brentwood area will do this? Next up, going to have a Buckmark rifle cut down to 10" and threaded assuming this goes smoothly.

Chip, I have the M&P sight pusher and the punches. I put one in my M&P Pro last night and have a couple to put in my M&P compact and my M&P "C.O.R.E." when it gets here Monday. You are welcome to come by the house and we can do them together. You met me at my office a couple years ago and did my trust for me. Rick

Done

Life member here...pm me if I can help out

This would be what you are looking for

A little suppressed bling

CLEO signoffs are eliminated on trusts. Just another reason for having one:)

From your .22 cans. What's your favorite and why? That depends....haha. Seriously, if I had to have only one .22, it would be the SS Sparrow. It is super-wicked quiet, easy to break down with no tools, and works equally well on rifles and pistols. It also does not seem to have much effect on point-of-impact. I shoot a lot of target .22 and use 24-36 power scopes. I have found this suppressor to be very consistent. What is the most user serviceable? That would be the SS Sparrow. But, I have found that the Element cleans up very easily because I just throw the baffles in the dip overnight. As for 9mm can's -- I looked in to Liberty, but I'm currently leaning towards the Osprey due to the flat top. FIgured it would be easier to see over with my PPQ since taller sights aren't available yet (and I don't know if they will ever be available) I have the Osprey in .45. I also have multiple pistons for it. That way, I can use it on my 9mm, .45 and on my metric threaded guns and standard threaded guns. The Osprey is not user-servicable so you would not want to shoot .22 through it. The AAC Tirant45 is one you can clean. I have found no noticable difference in shooting the .45 cans on a 9mm vs a dedicated 9mm can. You can use standard ammo in .45, but you will have to use sub-sonic 9mm to have the 9mm guns perform quietly. Can find much info on the AAC Dragonfly? You won't. Mine is one of about 20. It was a demo model that AAC did in the early years.

OK...this could be long. I started this journey about two years ago myself. Someone here recommended Mike Montgomery with Class III firearms. Mike is a one-man operation in Cool Springs. His primary business is selling to law enforcement throughout the Southeast. He has a few in stock, but he will order and find whatever you want. His prices are fair. As you stated, the price game is not the factor in the NFA world. I gave Mike a copy of my trust, told him what I wanted and he found it. He will do the transfer in to him and then file all the paperwork, etc. for the NFA. The best part is that he gives really good service and is very easy to get a hold of. When I want a new can, I email him what I want. He sends me back a quote. He then usually comes by my office, gets a check and starts the paperwork. A few months later, he calls/emails that the stamp is in and I make a BEELINE down to his office and pick up my can. I have found it very advantageous to work with him since he is the only one I deal with. Less mistakes that way. His contact info is: http://fflgundealers...nterprises.html As you also stated, you will find what you want by spending time on Silencertalk. I make that place a regular part of most days:) There are some very knowledgable and helpful people there. I have the SS Sparrow and it is fabulous. I also have the AAC Element, YHM Mite, and Liberty Essence in .22 cans. I have a SWC Spectre II that went pending in August and have ordered a Element 2 as of yesterday. Having a 'user-servicable' .22 can is a must. You will shoot tons of .22 suppressed. It's cheap, fun, very quite, and always a 'crowd-pleaser.' It is also very dirty. The AAC cans, sparrow, and the essence are all stainless baffles and can be 'dipped'. They will clean up like new. You can shoot .22 through the rifle cans, but they are not user-servicable and are very heavy. I have the Osprey and Tirant45 in .45. They are both equally good. The Tirant can be broken down, the Ospery cannot. In 9mm, the AAC Evo9 and the Liberty Infiniti. Both are good, but the new TiRant9mm is probably better than the older Evo9. The Infiniti is new to me so I am still 'testing' it out. I have the YHM Cobra in .223. It makes a .223 much more tolerable, but you still need hearing protection. I also have an older model AAC Dragonfly. It is an integral can on a buckmark. That one I bought from Bullseye near Atlanta. It was a demo they had. Mike did the transfer for me as well on that one. Most shops that have class III items will sell near retail. They will also tend to sell you what is in stock. The NFA world is different in that most purchases are 'for life.' It is not like you can run down to the local gunshow and 'flip' a can that you don't like. Finding the new and improved items is worth the trouble. I have had good luck reading the posts on SilencerTalk and doing my due diligence. I'll be happy to answer any more questions, but this is my 2$ worth:)

Kimber Custom Classic Stainless Target was my first 1911 in the mid 90s and is still a favorite gun. I have several Kimbers in all sizes and have made the jump to Nighthawks as of the last year. Save your money and buy a Nighthawk. They can be had in the mid 2k range. Lots of money, but probably the best made guns I have ever had.

I always make sure that the shipper sends C&R items 'signature required'. I also use my office as the 'mailing address' on the C&R form. That is different from the 'premises address', which is my home. Since the mailing address is on the C&R, I have had most shippers send shipments to my office, where I will be to sign for it. I have only had one dealer that would not do that.

Most companies will only sell threaded barrels for the 5" 1911s. The 4 and 3" guns do not perform well with suppressors. I have the storm lake barrel on my Kimber Custom and it runs flawlessly. Barrel cost between 2-300, but it dropped in.

I did.

I have bought 2 safes from Mark. One back in 1997 and another last year. He and his company have treated me well and I would/will buy from them again. Obviously, you realize that buying from a box store is not really the best option. I am sure Daryl has some nice safes as well, but you can't go wrong with Mark.

My kids are 23 and 20. They both still love Christmas and all that it embodies. I agree that the commercialization has gone 'over the top.' Yesterday, I witnessed what Christmas represents. While checking out at a local Wal-mart, I saw two ladies pull 4 carts of toys to the register and handed the clerk what looked to be a 'sales tax exemption' card. A gentleman asked the ladies if they were buying for a charity. The ladies told him that all the toys were going to Ft Campbell for the 'Wounded Warriors' program. The man thanked them for their generosity, opened his wallet and gave them a 50.00 dollar bill and walked off. Just a random act of kindness that is far too lacking in this world. Santa might be a mythical fantasy, but the spirit of giving and generosity that he represents is needed in this world now more than ever. How you present him and how you ultimately reveal him will determine how your kids react. My mom told me that Santa was 'the spirit of love' back in the 70s when I was much younger. At 49, the magic of Christmas Eve and Christmas Day never goes away.

Chip Cain did mine. He is in Franklin and can do it over the phone. He is/was a sponsor on here.

Since these purchases are both expensive and 'lifetime', you are much better off doing it right the 1st time. I used Chip Cain last year for mine and have no zero problems with the ATF getting approval in 90-120 days for my items. I also know that when I am gone that the items will be properly and legally dealt with. My kids are on the trust as well. The expense was not too great and most everything was done over the phone. I would highly recommend using one of the attorneys that support this forum. My 2 cents:)

Gear whores...please don't tell my wife I am a whore:)
