I've been meaning to get a couple of suppressors but not a fan of the long wait and paperwork. I know the longer I put it off the longer it'll take to actually get. I was checking out other options like the JK Armament suppressors that you finish on your own.

Just curious how that works exactly? Do I need to first buy the solvent trap then apply for a Form 1 or would I apply for the Form 1 then order the solvent trap once it's approved? Only real reason I'm asking about doing it this way is it's a 30-45 day wait vs. 6-9 months of waiting.

I've seen other threads about the FBI cracking down on these kits so that's why I'm thinking if possible I'd prefer to already have my Form 1 done and approved prior to buying so it doesn't look like I'm trying to illegally make an NFA item.

Side note - Has anybody bought and built one? Just curious how they compare to the different silencer companies in the market?
