There are some beautiful places to get away from the concrete, but yeah, it’s a whole lotta gray here in the city.

Hey, y’all!
Greg here (or, “aTrog” if I could figure out how to get my moniker changed). No idea how or why I got an invite to this site but, now that I’ve re-discovered where the introductions go, thought I’d do just that.
I’m a recovering Yankee; spending the last 45 years in Arkansas. Bought my first gun, a Marlin Golden 39A in 1985 and haven’t looked back since. From honest acquisitions, gifts, and inheritance, I’ve amassed way more firearms than I truly need, though not nearly as many as I want. Been jonesing for a suppressor to supplement a .300BLK SBR but still waffling on all the expensive choices. I make an annual pilgrimage or two to the “deer woods” but, thanks to “civilization” encroaching on our idyllic house in the woods, I no longer have a convenient place to shoot just for the hell of it. Keep promising to join the local gun range but that just hasn’t happened yet. Inertia is my best friend and worst enemy.
Regardless, thanks for the invite, good to be here, and hope to be able to contribute and learn.

@a.greg.melton was you on another site previously ? I recognize the name…just my curiosity. The old sixguns? Or Beartooth Forums??

@Belt-Fed can probably stear you in a direction for suppressors for 300B.O. he seems to be a bit of an afficionado on that.

Been on several, but not recently and not w/o being “cloaked”, as it were (learned that lesson in the early days!) You’re probably thinking of some other stud cough, cough
Thanks for that tidbit of advice, WV460HUNTER. Always looking for a good place to mine information

I’m hearing of wait times measured in days rather than months, so that part of the process appears to have been streamlined.
What kind of setup you figure on running? I’ve got an M&P 15 Sport and grabbed a 10.5" 300BLK upper. Have not been able to decide on a can, though

My last can was a Huxwrx 556 TI. I gave all my NFA items in a trust. This one was approved within about a week, trust and all.

10-1/2 upper, don’t know what can to buy yet. Prices seem to range from $599 to $1599. The same site (Gemtech) that proclaimed there was a big difference between 300 BLK suppressors and 7.62 x 51 suppressors last year discontinued the BLK suppressors this year. Too many choices…

If you haven’t gone there, you should. That dude is dedicated to testing cans. Membership is cheap and unlocks more complete data.
I personally have a CAT 7.62 can. CAT’s seem to consistently range in the top of the sound suppression category, and that is my biggest priority. I have already lost too much hearing from gunfire, airplanes, and jet engines.

Too many, indeed! That’s part of my dilemma
Yes, I stumbled across PEW Science and have read through quite a few reviews. Thing is, I don’t have much of a reference point for how “loud” is loud. I mean, I see that “X” suppressor will bring a gunshot down to, for example, 130dB from 162dB. Ok, looks good, but I also see that 130dB is equivalent to the sound of a jackhammer or a loud rock concert; not exactly what I’d call quiet! I realize the sound of a gunshot is more an impulse than a continous pressure wave but still, that don’t seem quiet, even momentarily.
I’m probably overthinking it, I tend to do that. What I need to do is get myself to one of those CanCon events and see/hear what various suppressed guns actually sound like
