I have one 30 cal suppressor and use it for hunting. Shooting subsonic ammo isn't a real option for hunting. The lack of energy and killing power is reduced to a good old .45. The main reason to have a suppressor is so that my hearing will stay around for a couple more years. The biggest benefit is for my SBR rifles. Both of them are ungodly loud and without a suppressor they very dangerous.

I purchased as a gift two more suppressors for my nephews and they are waiting on the NFA to come back. I thought that if my father would have done this for me back in the day my hearing wouldn't be so bad off today.

Btw why are yall not out hunting today?  :aok
Because they're all busy watching japanese cartoons, facebooking about super hero movies and crying into their emo comic books.

Im sitting at 7.6+/- a few ounces with everything on it. It feels great the Irons that came on it (A2 front post and MOBUS flip up in the back were almost dead on from the factory. No hiccups with the white box. Im gonna throw some Tula through it next and see if it will choke up. I highly doubt it will from all the reviews ive read.

It is a great entry level. 1:9 twist I havent done any long range yet idk when ill be able to. The price was my selling point but id say its every bit as good as a $1000 gun. just no dust cover or forward assist but they arent needed to be honest.

Hey boob, I'd stay away from steel case tula in your AR.

The cheapest I run is PNC, which is made in Korea, and brass. American eagle can be found for short $ too.

I've read that some do, some don't (have issues) The Tula is certainly dirtier, I can attest to it based on shooting all sorts of brands of 7.62x39 with an SKS.

There are some really great deals out there on ammunition in brass for .223/5.56 so really there is not need to go to steel case.

I like Ammoseek(dot com) as it is an ammunition search engine for the big ammunition shops.

Sweet!

I went out twice this week-end, once with my oldest son who had not shot it yet and yesterday just to get some relaxing rounds in.

The wind was blowing pretty good and unpredictable at 100 yards where it would 'swirl' up or down on the target. (Due to the big berm and the direciton of the wind) Well, that is my excuse for only hitting inside of 2" inches. :)  My last 20 rounds the wind suddenly died, and I almost managed to remove the 1" bullseye so I felt good at the end of the shoot. Then zero'd my elevation and windage dials.

New furniture coming! Then I'm done spending on this rifle (yeah, that's what they alllll say!)

AAR: About 800 rounds through it, I upgraded the furniture (Barbie Doll for men indeed!)
All Magpul, and the leftover Colt furniture will naturally be the foundation for the next build. That's how the black rifle disease progresses right? :)

Handguards: MOE SL (I liked the slim feel up front)

Trigger guard: Magpul

Grip: MOE K2+ GRIP, BLK (Fit my large skinny fingers best and the rubber grip is very nice!)

Butt stock: ACS-L STOCK MIL-SPEC (Cheek fit nicely!)

Did you get the magpul or tapco cocktail mixer? ;)

I ordered my folding stock for my SBR build last night,  hopefully it gets here soon.
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

Pics when you get it. :) It's the only kind of porn allowed here.,,

Sweet! Got your stamp? Looking good Nef!
The contrast between the meaning of that statue and the SBR is quite remarkable too. :)

Yep.  Took 66 days from mailing it to getting it back. This will eventually be my first "black rifle"... Going to go with the Midwest Industries grip set and decent optic that I will have drilled and tapped on the top cover.
