Ident has done 4 of my lowers now, excellent work, and for anyone local (or periodically down there like me) they do walk in service on Tuesday/Thursday evenings. Guys out there are great and it's always fun going out there, usually have some fun stuff in the shop to show off while you wait.

Their website does not appear to provide their location (did I miss it?) and it has a note dating back to January of '15 stating that standard SBR marking lead time is 1-2 weeks, but they currently have a large amount of orders due to the proposed BATFE/Trust regulation changes. Do you know if that is still the case? Thanks!

Edit: Found the location under "Faqs": 2007 Industrial Blvd., Ste. B., Rockwall, TX 75087

They do a lot of mail-in work from around the country, thus the note. If you can make it over to them during the evening hours on Tues/Thur it's same day service. That said you'll want to call about a week out and get an appointment. If you have an appointment you're guaranteed to get in. Without one they just work you in as they have time, though there is no guarantee that they'll be able to.

There are a ton of options in the .30 cal arena. SilencerCo Specwar, Saker or Omega, Dead Air Sandman (S, L, or Ti), Rugged Surge, Griffin Recce 7, just to name a few, take your pick. A lot of info out there at places like Silencer Shop and Capital Armory (both in Austin, maybe a nice side trip the next time you're in town with the band Best bet is to find someone with several that you could try shooting/hearing for yourself.

ATF tax, suppressor, decent lower, etc?

Any estimates of costs?

TIA.

JALLEN,

I was able to put together my SBR'd 300 BLK for about $600-650 before the $200 tax stamp. I used a Spikes upper and lower along with a Seekins rail, Spikes LPK minus the fire control group, ALG QMS trigger, Spikes ST-T2 buffer, and Magpul MOE stock and grip. The place I was able to save some money was a blem 8.5" barrel that ran me $89. This was supposed to be a budget build so I tried to stay away from anything to high end (That's not the case with my other SBRs though).

Add in the price of a can ($650-1200) , another tax stamp ($200) , muzzle brake ($75), and other goodies (not including ammo) and you're easily into the $1500+ range. That said the 300 is a blast to shoot suppressed.
