The civilian market for silencers soared 37% in 2013, when the total number shot up to nearly a half a million, according to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives registry. That's compared to 360,000 in 2012 and 285,000 in 2011.

Silencers are so popular that there's a nine-month wait to have a registration approved by the ATF, according to Ben Shim, a certified firearms instructor and gun industry analyst with CRT Capital Group in Stamford, Conn.

Even the e-filed ones are jammed up now.
It's taking my Class3 dealer 90+ day just to get the SOT paperwork approved to transfer a can from the manufacturer to the dealer!!


They should just scrap the BATFE and sell that shit over the counter.

Ha ha - feral cats, urban squirrels, chipmunks.

It could take 2 years and I'd still wait for them, it's just that much fun.
