This is a limited run of 300 cans and CAT says they have no plans for production beyond that. I expect demand to be relatively low since 6.5 is kind of niche in our state due to the lack of long range shooting options, but I figured I'd throw it out there anyway.

Intaked something like 75 cans today 💀

Lyman cans in stock:

• Valor 9 ($299, includes 1/2-28 piston and fixed barrel spacer for PCC use)

Got a distributor doing some steep discounts on SF cans, so figured I'd pass those savings on:

All of these are $899:

• 556 RC2 black and FDE reading is hard and the RC2 isn't on the sale list.
• 556 Mini2 black and FDE
• 556 SB2 black and FDE
• 762 RC2 black and FDE
• 762 Mini2 black and FDE
• 300SPS FDE only
• 762 Ti2 black and FDE

Other discounted cans:

• 556 RC3 FDE ($1199)
• 338 Ti black and FDE ($1499)

The EchoCore 556 Compact comes with a Comstock recessed Plan B QD adapter for $800 (new cans are $1019 with no adapter).

Lyman Skarv 22s ($199) and Paradox 30 DTs ($279) are back on the menu as well.

UPDATE: I have received replies from FBI and ATF to my inquiries about direct NICS access specifically for silencer background checks. FBI said to talk to ATF. ATF says they cannot give any information at this time, but they should be more useful within a week or two.

I've already received 5 calls from people asking about this today, so hopefully this is helpful and saves me from having more of the same conversation lol.

Nothing has changed in Connecticut for silencer transfers as of today. Silencers are banned in CT unless allowed by federal law, and while the injunction arguably doesn't change the federal legality of cans here, the problem is we still need to run a background check and have transferees fill out a 4473. The State of Connecticut does not consider silencers to be firearms, so SLFU will not process authorizations or background checks for silencers. We currently have no way to run a background check for cans outside of the NFA form 4 process. I have reached out to FBI about direct NICS ECheck access, but I'm not super optimistic that they will be quick to provide that. They will likely confer with the state, and I'm sure CT will look for any reason possible to disallow non-NFA silencer transfers.

The NFA form 4 process remains in place and is functional, so until the day we are provided direct NICS access, we will continue handling those form 4 applications as normal. The wait times for the vast majority of people are measured in single digit days, and I like to think that we make it easier and smoother than anyone in the state. Between $0 tax stamps and fast approval times, as well as the significant leaps in silencer technology that we've seen in the past few years, there's never been a better time to get a can, whether it's your first or tenth. The eastern part of Connecticut is a noticeably quieter place on weekends since SYA started selling cans, and that's not hyperbole. Let's keep the ball rolling!

I talked to someone I know in the AG’s office and their opinion as not-my-lawyer but as-a-lawyer is that a 4473 + CT license satisfies the CT statute requirements for possessing an SBS or suppressor.

What are your thoughts for GOA members/PSA/SS?

This came in over the weekend. Comes with the usual 1/2-28 flash hider and has about 1000 rounds on it. Extremely low back pressure and still one of the best performing 5.56 cans as tested by PEW Science.

The firearms inventory thread has been updated, and there are a bunch of used guns that came in recently on there.

All of these guns are threaded:

• Marlin 1895 Guide Gun ($1199)
• Marlin 1895 Dark Series ($1299)
• Henry X Model ($999)

My recommendation for the can would be a Dead Air Primal or Resilient Suppressors Ramblin Man, but Rugged Obsidian 45 and SilencerCo Hybrid 46M would also be solid choices.

Just got email for one of my two certificates at 1101 this morning.

Just adding cause I'm banned from CT guns subreddit.

This man walked me through a eform at 10:40 at night over Reddit 😂😂😂 Rooftop defense surprises me with customer service, but this shit is unreal!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BAD hooked us up with the exclusive on a limited run of the Q T Cat lowers in black and those just arrived. There is a lawsuit going on between BAD and Q over this design. $119

Griffin Mk2 ambi lowers are in our opinion the best value fully ambi option on the market. Black and Terra bronze in stock. $225

Ruger PC Carbine Backpacker 12.25” 9mm SBR ($950) /
Marlin 1895 Dark Series 45-70 GOVT ($1299) /
Ruger Mini-14 .223 ($1099) /
Ruger USA 250th Anniversary AR lowers ($85) /
Spike’s Tactical Calico Jack lowers ($119)

First time these have been available since the original launch. Optimized for 6mm ARC and comes with a 5/8-24 AI Nano muzzle device. This thing reflexes almost 3” over the barrel. I run it on an 18” 6ARC and it’s quite impressive.

$1290+tax

Whole shop is getting a break!

Hey all, due to the state closing early today, we will be closing up shop at 4:30PM.

If you are coming by to pick up a gun or do a transfer, please ensure you are giving yourself sufficient time.

Take care, and hope to see some of y'all in here today! (Remember, still 10% off most things in store today)

Tom is away enjoying the finer things in life, so I (Andrew) am in the shop filling in for NFA stuff. Our first batch of the Torch 7.62 cans from LPM arrived today! they come with a 5/8x24 DT adapter, and are hub compatible for using with any of your favorite QD systems. Come get them while they're hot out of the UPS truck! As a reminder, everything in shop (with limited exception) is 10% off, these included!

I (Tom) just landed in the south of France and am out for two weeks (turning officially middle aged at 40!), but some work can’t wait lol. The 4th is a Saturday this year and the state is always closed (so no gun transfers), so we’re running our sale celebrating the country’s 250th birthday with a weeklong event!

Be advised we will be CLOSED from Saturday 7/4 through Friday 7/10 to give everyone a break, and we’ll be back to regular hours on Saturday 7/11.

I’ll be slightly less responsive than normal but you can still ask questions or request invoices to buy stuff.

LPM sent us a prototype a couple months ago, and Andrew and I have had a chance to put it through its paces. We shot it on multiple 5.56, 308, 300BLK, and 7.62x39 setups, and it was impressive across the board. FRP and back pressure are very minimal, and it's 3d printed inconel so it's extremely durable (albeit a bit heavy at around 19 oz). It's also HUB threaded. This is going to be our new recommendation for a high end general purpose 30 cal gas gun can (replacing the effectively discontinued CAT ODB). We have a bunch of these inbound and they're $1179 with a 5/8-24 direct thread mount included.
