Apparently ATF is going after Flash Hiders and Silencers.

Sir,
Unfortunately I have bad news. We were finally notified by ATF Monday morning that we can no longer sell individual pistons, 3-lug adapters, fixed barrel adapters and most other components separately. We can sell a sound suppressor with one attaching device and that is it. We are not very happy to say the least. This is going to affect our business tremendously. Apparently, we were the first, and now ATF is going to go after all other sound suppressor manufacturers as well. We are going to fight this, and the owner of this company has already contacted some attorneys about taking legal action. As you saw we were forced to take all the products off our web page or face legal action by ATF. We are waiting to hear the final word on the QD mounts, and I am not expecting good news about them either. All I can tell you now is to be patient while we appeal ATF's ruling and hopefully get it overturned. Sorry for the inconvenience, however our hands are tied at the moment, and no one is more upset than us over this matter.

Flash hiders and suppressors don't do anything of real use. If you shoot a gun people will hear it, unless you use subsonic ammo, which is pointless.

ATF is trying some sneaky shit.

Suppressors (not silencers) are not designed to make a gunshot inaudible, simply disguise and damper it.

LOL. I guess the secret agent and assassin's guilds will have to try harder to be smooth.

Do you have an official statement about this on ATF site or the reg ordering this?

Well isn't it already to late for the deer once you pull the trigger?

Nope. But YHM (The company that the ATF is suddenly going after) has had all of it's QD silencer parts shown as out of stock, and flash hiders may be on the list.

They're going after flashhiders because silencers can be made to mount on them.

Apparently it's all over the gun forums, and now the ATF did this without any written letter or anything "official."

The real trouble is about flash hiders and threaded barrels. Suppressor mounts could be considered a threaded barrel or any muzzle device. Which is kind of bad.

Well he's a fucktard for using a silenced shotgun anyways.

Seriously, dude.

Silencer is going to get torn up from buckshot trying to spread.
