Exactly. Every year we see some company get popped for selling shit the ATF has now decided is a NFA violation.So there's your interpretation of the ATF rules (which is logical and makes sense based upon "the letter of the law"), and then we've got Rugged which is out there selling damn near every part of their cans except the tube and baffle stacks:

There's also the whole thing about how one can change the silencer length to be shorter but not longer ("If alterations to a silencer would increase the overall length or change the diameter or caliber of a silencer, this is the making of a new silencer..."), and yet Dead Air sells their E-Brake:

This regulatory environment is very weird.
The mounts available depend on the caliber
This is what had me confused, as well. I would buy an RR model, if it also came with, or if I could buy separately, a replacement .30 cal end cap if I didn't want to use the brake on it sometimes.So there's your interpretation of the ATF rules (which is logical and makes sense based upon "the letter of the law"), and then we've got Rugged which is out there selling damn near every part of their cans except the tube and baffle stacks:

Per ATF rules, you can go shorter, but you can't go longer then registered length...
But I can add a brake to my Nomad, Omega, etc etc.
and this isn't some secret part. I feel if ATF really wanted to crack on companies (and they are), they would have done it already.
Nobody said the gAyTF wasn't full of r3tards... I agree, it's all stupid. They shouldn't even be regulated anyway, neither should barrel length. But our great great grandfathers let them steal our rights 90 years ago, and never once tried to fight for it, and here we are...But I can add a brake to my Nomad, Omega, etc etc.
Imagine calling a wipe a suppressor part... Oh wait.
I've shot the 338 Magnus-S-RR on a 338 lapua and was very comfortable with foam ear plugs. That's not something I would want to shoot without foam ear plugs in. I also wear ear pro 100% of the time no matter what I'm shooting. The recoil reduction of the Magnus-S-RR on 338 lapua put a smile on my face. It felt better than a suppressed 308
Which, by the way, is why the Supreme Court struck down the pistol brace rule. Too much ambiguity.
Back in the original 338 Ultra testing, our test gun was a Savage .338LM with a red dot on it. In such a short barrel, the recoil shooting offhand was not bad and we commented that it wouldn't be a bad relatively short range "whomping" rifle. In other worse, the recoil was OK. Now with the bullet going faster from a longer barrel I'm sure it would be worse.
Ok... We need pics and video of this ASAGDMFP. Old school meets new school.
Oh don't worry. It's a CZ550 with pretty nice wood.Ok... We need pics and video of this ASAGDMFP. Old school meets new school.
I'd be curious to see a S and full-size on it, too... Same ammo, same day, just for heads-up real-world comparison. I know a full Magnus would be sweet, as my full-size Magnus is an absolute beast on my big boomers (7mm STW's, 7mmRM, .300WM, .300 Ackley Mag, etc...). It also sounds amazing on my .280 Ackley and 20" 7mm-08. It's actually sitting on my 20" 7mm-08 in the SKB case right now, just incase someone calls to go hunting. I re-zero'd with the Magnus on it a couple months ago (after it finally got approved) with my new Berger 175 Elite / StaBall 6.5 load, that's cooking out of the muzzle at about 2,650 FPS MV from a 20" barrel. Sub-1/2 MOA groups. It's a nasty setup for deer.
Thank you for the rundown, all sounds good/reasonable.
Yes, they're actually SUPPOSED TO USE the Rule of Lenity, which puts burden on the government to prove the citizen is guilty, and if they can't prove it to a degree the court finds satisfactory, the ruling goes in favor of the citizen, by default.
A single suppressor that can be taken apart has never been an issue. It's the extra parts that are the problem.
Ughh. I have a Dominus CB still in jail
There's nothing wrong with it-- it's just for most people who choose the Dominus-CB, the Magnus-S would be a little better for their application.Ughh. I have a Dominus CB still in jail
Believe this has MSRP as a line item for each can >
That’s how the ‘ruling’ is supposed to work. Make things so ambiguous that you keep people from doing what they should able to do by law, but can’t be sure.
Maybe eventually. But not anytime soon. Spent way too much lately on other gun stuff. Haha maybe I can talk @Zak Smith into a T&E until then. Haha
I can’t decide what I want. I know I don’t NEED any though. I can make a use case for pretty much any Magnus-size-RR, it’s just a question of which is best knowing that I almost never shoot my Dominus-CB over my Magnus. Magnus-S-RR would basically be the same size or a bit shorter than my full size plain old Magnus.
It’s pretty sad that they get away with using the term weapon for a suppressor. Of course, that’s the only way they can regulate it and collect tax stamps on it.
