Suppressor purchase now or wait?

[ReservoirDawg10]

Won't spur me on to buy one. Will spur me on to sell a few more, and maybe put all my nfa stuff into a trust.

Take some more chances on specialty stuff

AB and Ecco for the win. They are already hard a hell to get a hold of.

Will be fun to play with and have more options on integrals

If there's any surge in demand, it'll be for cheaper suppressors.
$200 is a much bigger deal if the price is lower (to whoever cares at all).

Never forget the great pandemic of the hard to find and over priced….

.22lr bricks

Toilet paper

Milk and bread

And after the dust settles… no one is buying this stuff in droves, ****s piling up, sales are going on, product isn’t moving like it was, and companies are folding…

I hope that you are correct, but my friend group is the exact opposite

So they were willing to go through the whole process, but the $200 stopped them?

Nope. Have gone through the process. Multiple times.

So I don't see that as the opposite of my group.

The narrative out there is that dropping the $200 tax but leaving the process in place will stimulate a lot of demand among suppressor 'virgins', folks that are new to suppressors and the NFA in general.

I can see your point that that demand will probably increase some among people who already own cans and have the process down pat, but that's a pretty small percentage compared to the group I was talking about. I'm not sure they will move the needle that far , but that's just my guess.

I hope that you are right. I don't have many buddies that don't have cans. One, I know, will be buying one once the 200 tax is gone. It's not a can't afford for him, but he is just cheap af.

And nobody but you are talking about virgin suppressor purchasers. Demand as a whole is the discussion.
