It will go nicely with my SDN6, sort of a little brother on my SBR.

I got in on that too. I got a Pilot 2 for $260 plus it qualifies for the $200 AAC Damn the Man rebate. No brianer since a quality 22 suppressor will effectively cost me $60 plus transfer.

I don't shop at my LGS's anymore due to suppressor related issues. Had they simply told me that they refused to match or even attempt to come close to the price of a suppressor that would have been one thing. Instead they tried to besmirch the source I was buying suppressors from which happens to be one highest volume dealers in existence now by making some stuff up about their ethics. That I have no tolerance for. Being greedy is one thing but trying to excuse that by soiling someone else's name w/o cause is a deceptive moral practice and I don't do business with people like that. I'm all for capitalism but being shady about it isn't cool. They don't realize that the days of HAVING to have a good standing with your LGS to get good guns & rifles is long past. With all the private party FFLs we don't even need them for transfers anymore. I've run out of reasons to pay a mark-up and watch as newer people to the hobby are ridiculed for their admitted lack of knowledge on the subject so I just give all my money to faceless entities since my LGS doesn't do anything to earn it.

Tim @DangerLeeIndustries

Tim has been nothing but helpful. He's handled transfers for me, sold my trust a nice pistol lower to SBR, and I've had private deals with him in the past that have always been perfect.

Even while I haven't spent a bunch of money with him, he was more than willing doing the transfer on a deal I found that couldn't be matched.

I don't want to speak for him, but I expect as his business grows, he will be able to pass along additional savings on the products he's handling most.

Thanks for the suggestion. There's a thread/section I think where people are suggesting people to use or not use that I suggest you add his info to too. I finally found a guy local to me that not only handles NFA transfers at a reasonable rate but also does coatings. Once I complete a successful transaction with him I will splash his info all over the forum for others who are in the same geographical area as me. So far so good though and I miss my LGS's even less now.

Here's to better dealings with better people!

Tim is also doing Cerakote.

He's listed in the IP forum here too.

Nothing against my first NFA guy Chris @ Silent Precision, he gave great service and pricing, and should be the goto guy for anyone in the Springs area, but Tim is near Elizabeth and is soo much closer for me now.

Last Saturday evening got a little expensive. Pulled the trigger on a couple of things I have been looking at for a year +........Probably should not drink scotch and surf the web as the same time :-)
A Sinn 856 UTC and Dillon Optics glasses. The glasses are hard to photograph and really capture the matte lens effect.
