Good morning everyone and welcome back to another installment of the world’s best weekly suppressor publication. Never mind that it’s probably the only weekly suppressor publication, just focus on the best. We are brought to you by our friends at Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the Resonator K suppressor and the Graham Brothers MARC chassis – both of which are featured in today’s episode. Last week we went deep into the integrally suppressed rifle world with the REM700 from Innovative Arms. Today we wade into the interesting debate of 300BLK subs versus 308Win subs. Is there a clear winner? We’ll see.

Regular Silencer Saturday reader and commenter Brett Baker dropped a friendly knowledge bomb on us last weekend. Mr. Baker alerted the community to a post on Sturmgewehr.com signaling the possibility of Innovative arms building Welrod clone pistols for the U.S. market. If the final build product is anything like the below pictured prototype, buyers will not be disappointed.

Daniel Defense recently added  three new upgraded versions to their DD5 lineup.  This expanded the DD5’s lineup in terms of barrel length, caliber, and overall features.  This overhaul makes the DD5 series of rifles more attune to the customer’s needs.  Keen to try out the latest and greatest, I asked Daniel Defense if I could review the DD5 V5 chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor, and they kindly obliged.

Good day suppressor lovers and welcome back to the 123rd edition of Silencer Saturday brought to you by my friends at Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the Resonator and Turbo lines of suppressors.  Last week we finished off the Rex Silentium review series with the MG7 K 5.56mm rifle suppressor. Today we get a special look at the Innovative Arms integral bolt action rifle, the REM700. How much quieter an we get subsonic 300BLK? Keep reading and find out.

Prinz Waffentechnik and CSC Arms in Germany have presented a new signature damper called the CoB556. There is extremely little written about this new suppressor, but TFB hope to change that with this article.

Good morning everyone and welcome back to another quiet edition of TFB’s Silencer Saturday brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the Resonator and Resonator K line of 7.62mm suppressors. Last week we ventured off into DIY land with a primer tutorial on how to build your own Form 1 suppressor (hint: start with an approved ATF Form 1). As soon as my government permission slip comes  back stamped, we’ll get to work. This week we look at the professionally manufactured Rex Silentium MG7 K 5.56mm rifle silencer. How quiet was the MG7 K? Lean in and I’ll tell you.

Good afternoon everyone and thanks for joining us for another edition of TFB’s Silencer Saturday brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the inexpensive yet very effective Turbo K 5.56mm Suppressor. Last week we took a look at the new YHM MARC Chassis, A tough suppressor cover from Liberty’s Defense and the cheap insurance offered by suppressor alignment rods. Today we finally dive back into a subject I started here at TFB four years ago – building your own Form 1 Suppressor. Yes, it’s legal to build your own silencer, no it’s not hard and the process is very rewarding. Let’s get to work.

Across America, COVID-19 stimulus checks (direct deposits) are finally hitting bank accounts as the COVID-19 pandemic keeps us in lockdown.  In an effort to help stimulate our favorite part of the economy, we at TFB created a list of things we think you should consider buying with your stimulus dollars.

Sioux Falls, SD-based Silencer dealer Silencer Central has just been given the green light by the ATF to sell suppressors in all 42 silencer friendly states. What makes Silencer Central special amongst other silencer dealers is that they sell their silencers direct to their customers.

Good afternoon everyone and welcome back to the 120th edition of TFB’s Silencer Saturday brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the Resonator line of .30 caliber suppressors. Last week we got introduced to the Gemtech Lunar 9 pistol suppressor. This week I’ve got a potpourri of new additions to the review line up. First up is the super quiet YHM MARC bolt action chassis in 300BLK. Next is the super cool StraightJacket thermal attenuator from Liberty’s Defense. Lastly we make sure everything is super straight with the Geissele Suppressor Alignment Gauge.

Silencer Shop and Ruger have just announced an independent distribution agreement to sell Ruger Suppressors through its nationwide dealer network. Four years ago the firearm manufacturing giant made the leap into the suppressor world with the Silent-SR rimfire suppressor followed by an integrally suppressed barrel for the Ruger 10/22 Takedown. With their  expanding PCC lineup, let’s hope the trend towards quiet shooting continues for Ruger.

Five years ago I decided to purchase what would be my first true silencer host.  I decided to take a friend’s advice and start small with a dedicated rimfire silencer, ultimately choosing the budget-friendly SilencerCo Warlock II.  While the Warlock was in NFA jail, I was scouring the internet for a 22 pistol that could reliably run any standard velocity ammo I could find.  After a lot of searching, I finally settled on the Smith & Wesson M&P 22 Compact.

Sweden, one of the few countries in the World where there are still competitions with fully automatic firearms. Before you get too excited, unfortunately, the rules enforce that you’re not allowed to shoot anything but single shots. But the firearm used for the competition is the Carl Gustaf submachine gun Model 45, up to 100 meter with an accuracy that would surprise most. Just check the pictures from the 2017 Swedish Championships with the Carl Gustav M/45 as a reference.

Are you one of the lucky enough to own or have access to a full-auto M16 or M4 rifle? Do you use select fire ARs for duty? Tired of those janky feeling select fire safety selectors?  Radian Weapons has a solution for you in the new full-auto capable Talon safety selector.

Over the last year, the Kalashnikov KP-9 has become increasingly popular in the gun market as a cheaper alternative to the MP5 clones and other AR-style PCC guns. I have finally had my KP-9 out of the ATF jail so it is an SBR and I finally was able to run it as an SBR for a couple thousand rounds. After I spent some time with it, I’m excited to talk about the good and bad I’ve experienced so far with the fun little KP-9. Let’s dive into this little PCC tac driver.

Introduced at SHOT Show 2020, the new ODIN Works NAV 22 rimfire suppressor is now available for purchase. This suppressor has a tubeless modular design allowing to change the overall length by removing or adding baffles.

Good morning everyone and thanks for joining us for another installment of TFB’s Silencer Saturday. Last week we discussed suppressed rimfire shooting with the Rex Silentium SEG. Today we get a look at the new Gemtech Lunar 9 pistol caliber suppressor in front of a Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0 Compact Suppressor Ready pistol. The pairing is intentional: if you didn’t know, Gemtech was bought by S&W a few years ago, sparking conversations that the company and its world-renowned products would never be the same. Is Gemtech’s first release since the acquisition worthy of your money and NFA wait time? Let’s take a look.

JK Armament and Silencer Shop have teamed up to provide customers with an efficient way to buy, build and register a legal silencer that starts out as a solvent trap. The process begins with users buying a kit for either a pistol caliber or rifle caliber solvent trap that comes with all the jigs and tools required to build a functional suppressor. Once the Form 1 is approved, owners can legally make a modular silencer in about an hour.

Welcome back to another edition of TFB’s Silencer Saturday, where suppressed shooting is the most polite form of social distancing. Last week we discussed the utility of defensive suppressors, but this week I thought we could turn back to some pure wholesome fun – suppressing rimfire rifles and pistols. Rex Silentium was nice enough to let me borrow three silencers: the MG10 7.62mm rifle suppressor (reviewed – thumbs up), the MG7 .224 rifle suppressor (review pending) and the SEG modular rimfire suppressor. You’re sick of hearing me say it, but I don’t care: suppressed rimfire is life. So did the Rex Silentium SEG live up to my high expectations? Let’s a look .

I can personally attest to the difficulties in evaluating suppressors from a scientific standpoint. Consumers want a go/no-go gauge for the performance of a particular silencer on a variety of different hosts. But unfortunately, the variables that come into play – from atmospheric conditions all the way down to gas port sizes – will alter test results in some shape or form. One way to help consumers make more informed decisions is to provide them with a variety of test data collected using the scientific method and an industry standard. Jay Idriss of PEW Science hopes to give the industry access to the most comprehensive test data currently available through a subscription based service that will launch today at www.pewscience.com.

Lantac USA have announced that they have developed two new muzzle brakes that feature Dead Air’s KEYMO suppressor mounting system. Lantac USA are expanding their line of Dragon Muzzle Brakes with the DGN556B-DA and DGN762B-DA. Lantac USA note that “for the first time shooters can now enjoy advanced weapon control with the ability to mount the entire range of Dead Air Sandman® KEYMO silencers to their firearms.”

Good afternoon everyone and welcome back to another edition of TFB’s Silencer Saturday, brought to you by our friends at Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the Turbo K and Resonator K suppressors. With everything going on in the world at the moment, it seems odd to be talking about one of the firearm industry’s seemingly elite class of accessories – suppressors. But what myself and others have been preaching for years is more evident now than ever before: suppressors are important tools that preserve situational awareness, aid in concealment from threats, reduces felt recoil and of course can prevent permanent hearing damage when used correctly. So let’s talk about defensive suppressors for defensive guns and how new shooters can benefit from joining team silencer.

As the German Army is taking the next step towards a new assault rifle, they are also looking for a semi-automatic precision rifle in 7.62x51mm. The Federal Office responsible for the Bundeswehr equipment procurement ( BAAINBw) has published a tender titled: “Scharfschützenwaffe kurze Reichweite (SSchtzWa kRw) G26”

With the success of their recent release of the PC Carbine Chassis model, Ruger has once again decided to push the design of its popular pistol caliber carbine even further. The recently revealed Ruger PC Charger is the latest entry into Ruger’s line of pistols and TFB was lucky enough to get an advance copy out for testing and evaluation.

Good afternoon everyone and welcome back to a another quiet Silencer Saturday afternoon. It’s quiet mostly because of our love of suppressed firearms, but it also seems like everyone has started to shelter in place due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Please take precautions to keep your yourself and your loved ones healthy and safe. Last week we discussed the Rex Silentium MG10 .308 rifle suppressor that is both affordable and quiet. This week we are going to focus on a genetic mutant of the MPX platform – the SIG Copperhead compact pistol caliber carbine. Next week I hope to bring you a review of one or two bolt action pistols from our sponsors at Yankee Hill Machine – the MARC chassis in 300BLK and .308WIN. Suppressed of course.

In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves buys himself a Molot VEPR-12 short barrel shotgun. Impressed by its reliability in previous reviews, James wants to find out if the venerable VEPR-12 and its self-regulating gas system is also reliable with the SilencerCo Salvo-12 shotgun silencer. Watch today to find out.

I know what many of you are thinking right now: “Pete, this is a major crisis, no one cares about your g*ddamn short barrels, silencers or vertical fore grips!” That’s where you are wrong, friend. In these times that try men’s and women’s souls, the things that bring us joy are even more important. While you wait for that incubation period to pass, you don’t need an additional timeline weighing you down. Have no fear, our friends at the American Suppressor Association are reporting that the ATF’s NFA Division are processing NFA applications at a standard pace. Insert joke about the ATF, NFA timelines, the $200 ransom and the Constitution here.

Dead Air Silencers recently extended a kind thank you to loyal customers with no strings attached. This exclusive thank you includes whole hosts of exciting loot just waiting for you, the faithful Dead Air patrons. They give their social media announcement as follows:

Good afternoon suppressor fans and welcome back to yet another edition of TFB’s Silencer Saturday brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, makers of the new MARC bolt action pistols. Today we will take a look at the first of three silencers from a lesser known, but highly underrated manufacturer. The Rex Silentium MG10 is a full size .308 suppressor that features a standard thread mounting solution and a tubeless baffle stack design. But is it a cure for the silent affliction known as Subsonicosis spread by the NFA virus? Let’s take a look.

SIG Sauer has announced their newest line of 3D printed silencers. This includes a host of rifles silencers, and the MODX9 and MODX45 pistol cans. The MODX45 is a modular, 3D printed, titanium silencer that allows the end users to utilize a full configuration of nine baffles down to a single baffle configuration and everything in between.
