Hello and welcome back to another edition of The Rimfire Report. This ongoing series is all about the rimfire firearm world and its various firearms, ammunition, shooting sports, and trends! A few weeks back SIG Sauer dropped the new SIG P322 22LR semi-automatic rimfire pistol. This new release was understandably met with a mix of excitement, apprehension, joy, and skepticism. Although everyone loves to see new rimfire firearms make it to the market, a lot of people know that the semi-auto rimfire pistol game is one that is both extremely competitive and often mixed with overhyped expectations and underdelivered results. However, today I hope to bring all of you fellow rimfire junkies out there a smidgen of hope for the future in regards to semi-auto rimfire pistols with this review. I received a copy of the SIG P322 a short time after the initial SIG P322 media event that was hosted in Orlando, Florida and attended by TFBTV’s Hop and myself. Since then I have been rapidly and meticulously attempting to break my P322 to see how much torture, neglect, and abuse it could deal with before breaking or causing consistent malfunctions. So today we’ll be taking a look at its general characteristics and performance, as well as how it’s holding up so far.

Good afternoon everyone and welcome back to TFB’s Silencer Saturday brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the YHM R9 multi-caliber suppressor. Last week we got a peek at the new Rugged Razor556 rifle suppressor. This week we get some time on SIG’s new P322 rimfire pistol with a SIG SRD22X review. Is this seven year old rimfire suppressor still viable in todays hot market? Let’s find out.

Having spent the weekend on the shooting range with a suppressed handgun, it’s with great excitement I found out about the new Maxim Defense MKIV-SD. The package consists of a Ruger MKIV .22LR pistol with an integral suppressor with or without a red dot. According to Maxim Defense, there is no detectable first round pop, and overall the sound should be well below hearing safe levels. Considering I was shooting 9mm supersonics without hearing protection, it’s hard to imagine how quite this .22LR would be in comparison.

Maxim Defense is introducing a new DSX-D Suppressor, with a three-piece MonoKore design that adds 7.25” to the muzzle of your rifle. The DSX-D is full-auto rated in all available calibers, but there is an 8.5” barrel restriction. It can be pinned to a 10.3” barrel to effect a 16” overall barrel length.

One of the biggest hurdles for most people when it comes to buying a suppressor (aside from the high upfront cost) is the fact that suppressors or other ATF Form 4 items usually take somewhere between 6-months to over a year to get back approved. For many, this means that their hard spent cash is sitting in a safe somewhere until a piece of paper with a stamp on it comes back to them almost a year later. However, according to Silencer Shop, the long waits seem to be over with the introduction of the ATF’s eForm process which Silencer Shop has seen bring back approved forms in as little as 6 days.

On March 24th the ATF released an open letter to all Federal Firearms Licensees in regards to the purchase, selling, and possession of Forced Reset Triggers or FRTs. Although this probably doesn’t come as a surprise to anyone, the letter is quite clear in its intention and seems to actively seek out to retroactively punish those who have purchased them or have sold them. The full letter has been posted below for your convenience.

The 3D printing community never ceases to amaze me. With recoilless launchers appearing a lot in the news as well as here on TFB, I think it was only a matter of time before someone found a way to 3D print such a device. However, what the CANzerfaust does that a lot of other recoilless launchers don’t do is convert itself from a shoulder-fired launcher into a mortar without any additional attachments.

Good afternoon everyone and welcome back to TFB’s Silencer Saturday brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the YHM R9 suppressor. Last week we got our hands on the SIG SLX556 QD rifle suppressors (yes, full auto testing is still coming). Today we spend some time with the brand new Rugged Razor556 reduced blowback AR-15 suppressor. I really like the Razor556; let me tell you why.

In this episode, James Reeves reviews the modern Welrod pistol, the B&T Station Six. The Station Six is truly a real-life spy gun and a modernized take on the integrally suppressed Welrod pistol from the World War II era. This Swiss 9mm bolt-action pistol with removable integral suppressor could be one of the quietest guns ever made, but is it worth the $2,250 street price these are going for? Watch today’s video to get James’ opinion and to hear the Station Six in action.

Browning International has added a line of suppressors to their extensive product catalog. The new Browning suppressor line is called Iridium and it currently consists of three direct thread cans – one for .22LR firearms and two different-length rifle suppressors rated to up to .300 Win Mag. Let’s take a brief look at the specs of new Browning Iridium suppressors.

Good afternoon everyone and welcome back to TFB’s Silencer Saturday brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the YHM R9 suppressor. I would like to thank Austin for last week’s awesome review of the B&T RBS suppressor,  enduring heavy duty beltfed punishment, while I was away on business. In the interim, a factory fresh SIG SLX 5.56 QD rifle suppressor arrived for review. How does it differ from the SIG SLH models that we have reviewed in the past and should you invest in one for your AR-15 or SIG MCX? Let’s take a look.

A descendant from the Razor family of the suppressors, the new Razor556 from Rugged Suppressors is a lightweight, full-auto capable, reduced blowback suppressor. The new suppressor shares the same belt-fed rating that a lot of other Rugged suppressors carry and is also priced quite affordably when compared to some other options currently on the market.

Good afternoon everyone and welcome back to TFB’s Silencer Saturday brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the YHM Turbo K rifle suppressor. I’m Austin R. and I’ll be your guest host for the week.  Last week looked at a no-win scenario for Form 1 makers, and this week we take a look at B&T RBS or Reduced Backpressure Suppressors.

If you recall, John (Rocketman) Wild filed Form 1 and made a destructive device (DD). But not just any DD, he made a Panzerfaust! Well, John was not content to sit on his laurels and bask in his own awesomeness. He decided he needed a new challenge. He built a Fliegerfaust. A nine-barreled rocket launcher that was originally designed and developed at the end of WWII by Germany. We were fortunate enough to be invited to document the test firing of his DIY Fliegerfaust and be part of history.

Welcome everyone to the 133rd edition of ‘Hot Gat or Fudd Crap?’, one of our many series here on TFB. If you’re new to the series, this is where we look at the most obscure firearms that are actually for sale and ask the question – is this Gat a sweet deal or only has a Fudd appeal?  Each week the TFB staff weighs in with their thoughts, but readers get the final say in the poll at the bottom of each article.

Masterkey-style shotguns are very well known within the United States but they are also a rare find within the wilds of the firearms community. This is due mostly because of ATF regulations that turn such a shortened underslung shotgun into a short-barreled shotgun (SBS). The Turkish firearms company Akdas makes a wide variety of shotguns one of which is the AK12 UBS. The UBS comes complete as a somewhat odd-looking shotgun, but what makes it unique is that it can be detached from its stock and reattached to a Picatinny rail in a matter of minutes.

Good afternoon everyone and thank you for joining us for another Silencer Saturday brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the YHM Turbo K rifle suppressor. Last week we swapped wipes in the B&T USA STATION SIX9 pistol. This week we are once again forced to pause silencer reviews for a look at a no-win scenario for Form 1 makers. Recently applicants received an email from the ATF requesting additional information on their plans and materials used to build their silencer. Failure to provide the requested information would result in Form 1 applications being disapproved and the $200 NFA tax refunded. So, what do we do now? Let’s dig in.

The DIY firearms world has seen plenty of cool creations over the years. We’ve seen steady advancements from the largely self-driven community of builders in terms of durability, functionality, convenience, and of course creativity. Many of you will know Stubbs from some of his previous creations we’ve covered like his Mosin Nagant featuring a folding stock, or his double-barreled, double-feed AR-15 rifle. This time Stubbs has brought a DIY 37mm launcher with him. Today we’ll look at what Stubbs has done in order to accomplish this feat and explore if it might be possible for you to do this yourself.

Maxim Defense is a fairly well-known company within the firearms industry and they are probably most well known for their development of suppressors, and more recently, their development of short-barreled rifle ammunition which tumbles upon impact to increase terminal performance. Today, TFB Editor in Chief has Travis Bundy on the show with him right from the SHOT Show 2022 floor to talk a bit about his history with Gemtech, his background in physics, and of course his work at Maxim Defense and what the company is currently working on for 2022.

Some of you may have heard that in recent days nearly everyone who has submitted a Form 1 to build a suppressor has been flat out denied by the ATF. Rumors of a mass denial started to stir on popular firearms forums and other online platforms such as the NFA subreddit where many users have commented that they’ve all recently received form 1 denial specifically to build suppressors. Many of the people receiving these denied forms are also claiming that the reason field is exactly the same, thus leading many to believe that the ATF is denying any and all Form 1 submissions to build a suppressor.

Welcome to TFB Podcast Roundup 32. If you couldn’t tell from the title, this one is going to be all about suppressors. Over the years we’ve seen a sharp increase in the number of firearms owners who are opting in to the NFA game – mostly because they want suppressors. Whether you call them suppressors, silencers, cans, quiet tubes, or mute sticks they all pretty much do the same thing – make your guns quieter. Today we’ve gathered up some of the best TFB Behind the Gun Podcast episodes to give all of you suppressor junkies, and those who don’t know you’re suppressor junkies yet, some curated listening to scratch that NFA itch.

Elliott Erwitt, a French-born American photographer, once said that “The whole point of taking pictures is so that you don’t have to explain things with words.” While we understand what he means, it’s not that easy. Here at TFB we like to add a story and a background – a so-called context. In our Photo Of The Day, we’re looking at dozens of brand new Škorpion vz. 61 SMGs. It’s pretty amazing to find boxes full of these legends and we thank Iron Works from Czechoslovakia for sharing these images.

Good afternoon everyone and welcome back to TFB’s Silencer Saturday brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the YHM R9 suppressor. Today we continue our multi-part review of the B&T USA STATION SIX9 pistol and suppressors with a lesson on replacing silencer wipes. Yes it’s legal and you can even make them yourself (with a few caveats). Let’s take a look.

Silencer Central has grown quite a bit over the last couple of years. With more and more people jumping into the NFA game, customers are looking for ways to have access to all sorts of good suppressors and also get rid of the hassle that is in between them and their chosen sound mitigation product. This is where Silencer Central steps in. Silencer Central is all about the customer and is focused on staying up to date with new government regulations so that you can worry more about shooting while Silencer Central worries about all the paperwork. Today on the podcast, our Editor in Chief Pete has the Founder and CEO of Silencer Central, Brandon Maddox, on the show to talk a bit about the business and how everything was started.

Owners of FN America’s Five-seveN handgun look here! B&T have teamed up with Jarvis Inc. to offer a match-grade, 10x1mm threaded barrel and a thread-on suppressor for this specific pistol. The specifications of the new B&T FN Five-seveN suppressor are 5.7x28mm caliber (obviously!) with a length of 8 inches and a diameter of 1.4 inches. The weight is 12 ounces.

Gemtech has been hard at work developing new and interesting suppressor technologies for firearms owners. Last year, we saw Gemtech release an entire upper for the M&P 15-22 and now Gemtech is following that up with the release of the new MIST-22V signature suppression system for the Smith & Wesson SW22 Victory pistol. This system allows you to suppress your SW22 Victory while keeping the entire package more compact than with a traditional thread-on suppressor.

Good afternoon everyone and welcome back to TFB’s Silencer Saturday brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the YHM R9 suppressor. Last week we got our first look at the SIG Sauer SLH300TI and SLH762 QD rifle suppressors. We’ll get back to the 5.56 full auto testing next week. Today we get a look a one of my grail gun, grail suppressor combinations that I have waited for many years to arrive. The B&T USA STATION SIX pistol, the modern Welrod, and the evolution of the VP9 Veterinary Pistol, is a bolt action, magazine-fed 9mm handgun that is outfitted with a wiped silencer or an optional training suppressor with traditional baffles.

SHOT Show 2022 was a blast for the TFB crew and for many of us, it’s not so much the guns and gear that we are excited to see but instead the relationships that we’ve built throughout the years at these types of shows. YHM has sponsored the TFB’s Silencer Saturday for a number of years so we are more than happy to bring them on this episode of the TFB Behind the Gun Podcast. Suppressors have taken a more central focus within the firearms community over the last half-decade or so and as a result, more and more people are either seriously considering or taking the leap into fabled NFA territory. Today Pete, Chris, and Andrew talk a bit about the suppressor industry, how things have been for the last couple of years, and of course, where YHM would like to find itself down the road in terms of business.

Good afternoon everyone and welcome back to TFB’s Silencer Saturday brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the new YHM Phantom 22 rimfire suppressor. Last week we finally got to finish up our initial look the the LMT-AT ION 30 rifle suppressor (I’m a fan). This week we continue our discussion on SIG’s newest additions to the suppressor market – the SLH300TI and SLH762 models. Do they take full advantage of the benefits of additive manufacturing? Let’s find out.
