    There are actually better threads explaining this but I be damned if I could find one.

    Thanks. So, if I decide to go to a suppressor, I will still be able to. The process has changed a little...

    I was never going to even consider a can because I just didn't see the benefit. Then Chad happened.
    After going to the range with him and seeing him swap 1 can between multiple guns I became a believer - fast. One stamp, one can - almost every gun.
    I'm down with that so while I will not make the July deadline, I am trying to get one before our next POTUS takes office. I'll just have to buy the piston kit for my 2 hand guns and several muzzle adapters for my rifles but HECK YEAH!
    As for you situation where you own so many I figure buy the one that can be used on other guns now. It's never too late. Plus, the time is coming where they won't be allowed. Get 'em while you can.

    If you are just getting one can, the Griffin Optimus is a good choice. It will handle .30cai, 9mm and rimfire .

    Thank you for all the comments so far. Changing my current suppressor from my 300blk to my 5.56 is not an issue as they both have AAC 51T brakes on them. The only issue is when I take them both to the range. I always have to wait until the suppressor cools down before swapping rifles (First world problem, I know.)
    I just don't want to regret not pulling the trigger. I have a trust, and can get it done now without the hassle of fingerprints etc. My wife thinks I should spend the money on ammo. Although I don't disagree with her and have enough to get me through the next year or two, purchasing more ammo is never a bad thing. Decisions, decisions...

    Buy yourself a silicon glove (amazon sells them) for barbecuing, fire pits etc...

    Mine can withstand 900 deg. you can't hold for 2 mins but def long enough to swap.
