FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)

How is this Device different from others that have been determined by ATF to be "Silencers"?

1. This device is intended to be used in compliance with Federal and State law. You may pin and weld this device to a 10.5" barrel to make your barrel a legal rifle length barrel or mount it without welding onto a 16� or longer barrel.
2. This device is designed and intended to reduce felt recoil and muzzle climb.
3. This device is intended to be aesthetically AWESOME! 
4. This device does not have threading on the forward portion of it, and is not intended to be used as part of an assembly of a silencer, suppressor or muffler.
5. This device does not diminish the sound of the firearm.
6. In an abundance of caution we have added anti-tamper features to restrict the ability of one to misuse this product.
7. Misuse of this product voids the product warranty.

What is the legal definition of a "Silencer"?

18 U.S.C. 921(a)(24): DEFINITIONS (FIREARM MUFFLER AND FIREARM SILENCER) The terms �firearm silencer� and �firearm muffler� mean any device for silencing, muffling, or diminishing the report of a portable firearm, including any combination of parts, designed or redesigned, and intended for use in assembling or fabricating a firearm silencer or firearm muffler, and any part intended only for use in such assembly or fabrication.

Will the ATF determine this to be a "Silencer"?

1. We are armed with previous determinations from FTB that view similar products not to be a silencer.
2. We disagree wholeheartedly with FTB's determination in regards to SIG's product. However, this product is materially different and goes above and beyond what is required to ensure that any negative determination made by the FTB would be considered arbitrary, nascent, and malicious.  In an abundance of caution we have written to FTB to ask their �opinion�. Should they make an incorrect determination we will sue the ever living crap out of them... again...
