Nice. Which M1A did you get? I have a standard because it’s as close to what we used in service. I did the usual accuracy improvements, put it i a GI stock and scoped it. It shoots great.

I also have two USGI carbines, they’re fun as all get out at the range or woods. Prices have been going higher quicker the past couple years, don’t wait too long.
A big batch of Ethiopian carbines recently came home and they’re selling now. They seem kinda rough from what I saw but I’m hearing some original WWII not sent through refurbishing. I still need to add a Garand.

Most government agencies primarily use Surefire suppressors because of the contract. They're decent suppressors.

DD and silencerco are also highly reviewed. I own both and they are awesome.
I did buy the DD Wave but I saw so many bad reviews on it. Im a fan DD, cant wait to see what they do with next gen suppressor.
Let me know how you like it. I'm picking up my two silencerco suppressors this weekend so I'm excited.

That looks sweet. Is it 7.62 or 300 sps? How long did it take? Where in AZ did you get it from?

It is 556. I got it at C2 TACTICAL in Scottsdale. If you go to the one in Tempe you can do everything on site in one visit from fingerprints to application. They don't have the terminal at the Scottsdale location yet. Maybe Scottsdale Gun Club has one.

I got that one as it stands up to full auto. Might be some quieter or dual purpose but I was focused on one thing.

I'm surprised the People's Republic of New Jersey hasn't already busted down my door for just looking at those suppressors.

Yeah, it's inconel so that firing schedule shouldn't be an issue...just be mindful of barrel length minimums, if any, to keep your warranty intact.

If you're looking for something more versatile for your next one, check out the Energetic Armament Vox S. Full auto rated, no barrel restrictions, short, extremely lightweight, quiet, and you can run any QD setup you want on it. Made out of C300 Maraging nickel-cobalt superalloy, which is pretty unique...neat stuff.

If I get anything new I think I will replace the MP5 I foolishly sold. Maybe this economic impact will lower the prices. And I don't need a sear gun. Happy to have a registered receiver for much less dinero.

And I have a suppressor for an MP5 that is completely full auto rated. I once ran a 100 rounds via a Beta-C. Suppressor was definitely warm but no issues. It is large though.

Just picked up this Ghetto Blaster in 300BLK. It came with this funky lollipop. Aimpoint and Suppressor should arrive shortly.

My MP5 is one of my favorite MGs. So controllable.

With the collapsable buttstock I prefer no extra grips at the lower barrel, hold it almost behind the magazine. Yours appearing very long with the silencer mounted. Is the bullet drop to mention at certain distances?

Can anyone recommend a pistol/nightstand safe? Reliability is obviously number one. I see Fort Knox gets great reviews but not having a backup key is sort of a dealbreaker.

Don’t know if you’d want to nightstand mount it, but you could. Keypad + key backup. 4 digit keypad, but you can do combo presses to have more complex passcodes.
