collectors firearms suppressors

[alvins]

Anyone gone through them for a suppressor? They are offering 250 bucks to send your paperwork to their lawyer to setup a trust.Since I dont know a lot about this yet I wanted to see if anyone tried them yet.

Don't know. Haven't looked into it much yet. Eventually in the next few months I am thinking about getting a tax stamp to build my own suppressor. Sean Cody, an attorney in Houston, offers to set up a trust for $450, details at http://www.texasnfatrust.com/

For $450, I'll probably get the CLEO signature, but for $250, I might go that route. I'll have to look into how to prepare my own trust for free

I won't be buying a suppressor until the day comes that I can walk in the gun shop and pick one out, pay and walk out the door with it with no Government control.

My experience there is if they're offering $250 off it's because they already marked it up at least $300.

That price for a trust is a good deal, assuming you get a fair price for hardware. Collectors tends to be expensive.

accually they have pretty good prices and some of them are the same as others sell the surppressors for. im looking at the advenced armorment tirant 45 since it will do multiple calibers.

where they get you is if you buy a threaded barrell from them. they are way over priced.

Tactical Firearms in Katy will do the NFA trust for free if you buy the silencer there. After looking at their prices it seems they are very reasonably priced so this is a good deal. More than likely they had a lawyer write a good trust and then just copy and paste it just changing pertinent names and other info where needed.

I want/wanted a silencer for a really long time but I'm very apprehensive to give the government a peak into my gun ownership.

Clearing the CLEO requirement off of Forms 1 and 4 has been approved by the DOJ. The revised Forms are being laid out and sent to Office of Management and Budget. They'll examine the proposed regulations and forms change and open the proceeding up for public comments. When that process is completed, they'll approve the printing run and disseminate the forms.

Does anyone know when this proceeding is and/or where? If not, does anyone know how I could go about finding out?

Thanks

Collector's is sky high on everything I have priced from them in the past 5 years. $250 is not a bad price for a trust I guess. I think Collector's is a great place to look, fondle, and shop. But I would buy elsewhere for better pricing.

Tactical Firearms in Katy has a very nice new location and are friendly people. I have not purchased anything from them, but would not hesitate to do so. I looked for mags for an MP5 there and they didn't have any or I would have bought them.

I've been wanting a can for a while now, and the biggest problem that I have is that why don't they give CHL holder's a break when it comes to these devices? We're already printed, and CARRYING A FIREARM in public. What's then the problem with easing up on the tax stamp / trust / CLEO stuff for us?

I honestly want one for my AR so that I can go hunt pigs. This whole Hollywood hype of suppressors drives me nuts.

It's because it has nothing to do with your reliability as a citizen, and it has everything to do with government's control over you. The more control they have, the better they like it. They are not your friend. We ought to tolerate government because some government is necessary to a free society. That government is necessary for the protection of our individual rights, and to adjudicate between one another when the rights of one person bump up against the right of another person.......private property rights, for instance. But when government usurps the right to determine the legitimacy of your need for anything and restricts that need accordingly, particularly when the fulfillment of that need neither abridges someone else's rights no harms anyone including yourself, then you are no longer living as a free man.

I just bought a suppressor at the end of Dec from Tactical Firearms. I bought the AAC SDN-6. I felt like they had a really fair price, and they made it SO easy for me. I just had to give them the information for the trust (name, beneficiary, trustees, etc). They created the trust and gave me the trust, multiple copies of the Form1, and notarized everything. All I had to do was make a copy of my trust, mail the copy, plus both of the form 1s, and a check for $200 to the address they gave me. There was no additional cost beyond the silencer.

Had I known it was really that easy, I would have done it LONG ago... :)

I would check out the Liberty Mystic if I were you, it can be used on pistols and rifles - even .223 AR's (with restrictions). You have to buy different attachments depending upon your application, but it beats buying two or three different cans. Major Malfunction has the best prices and it would save sales tax. Even with a local class 3 transfer you should save some money. But, it is always nice to buy local too.
