[QUOTE="themadmax, post: 1218970, member: 85272"] Truer words never spoken. Rules for suppressors: 1) DO NOT GET ONE! It will start you on a long and dark path... 2) Do not shoot one, even if a friend offers you to try his. (See above) He is not a true friend (see below). 3) If you violate the above, do not let your friends shoot them. YOU will be responsible for their downfall. 4) Cans, like horses, cost more than you think. The pain of shooting full power .300WM limits the cost of ammo. Suppressed...no recoil, muted thumps, ringing steel (not ears) = more in ammo. This leads to more reloading components, reloading and shooting more calibers suppressed, and increased reloading equipment. In turn, more family members (including small/petite ones) shoot with you, exacerbating this vicious cycle. 4a) You will never again be able to buy a gun that is not threaded, and those that you have will spend quality time at the gunsmith getting threaded. More money... 5) There is always another, more versatile, lighter, quieter, nicer suppressor that just came out. Even though you still have 2 (3,4,10) in NFA jail, this next one is a must have. Back to rule #1... [/QUOTE]
