But I think a 4473 will still be a requirement.  

No 4473 for homemade. Like any other

Title I gun.

I have a bunch of cans and if you're looking for tiny. The Bowers Bitty is about as small as it gets. 

 

That's a very nice offer!

OP you should consider it, you really cant get a sense of it until you hear the differences in person and by host. I moved from a blue state so never heard one in person until buying a couple.  TBAC and PEW are good for background. If you take a look at their rankings, some surprising differences in ranking based on hosts chosen for testing.

Consider TBAC has some skin in the game as well, PEW does not. For example, one chose not to run a 22 pistol in their testing so one particular can recognized as top tier for 22 pistols (engineered specifically for pistol use) flipped to different ends of the scale in each of the result sets for the two testers mentioned. That difference reads overstated when hearing the difference in person.

The printed can vs machined are allowing for some differences to factor. Do you want ultimate suppression vs minimal gas to the face in a rifle. Do-it-all versions or specific use is something you need to decide on. Hopefully HPA allows things to get cheap after initial demand price surge dies down and more manufactures jump into the arena (until a blue admin comes in anyway)

I thought I had read the 4473 was going to a thing, good to hear its not. Hopefully if the Senate sends back / passes it, they don't add something to crazy so it's neutered.
