The REAPER from Unknown Suppressors

[thinhorn_AK]

Me too. I’ve been thinking about getting my SOT and a print scanner…now they are taking away the tax stamp in January BUT still have to use a SOT (which is nothing more than a tax collecting authorization) to transfer one???? I guess I’ll wait until the process plays out hoping a plain old FFL will be able to transfer when the smoke clears.

I have to travel pretty far to a dealer so I'd say buying a reaper would basically cost me 500-1000 dollars more than the cost of the silencer itself.

Same. And the CLEO is 200mi S.

Dang. I see now AK in your handle. Respect…and a little bit of envy for you folks.

I have not tried it on a Reaper, but the Hellfire mount is what I intend to use once I receive it.
For what is worth, I switched a Jolene to the Hellfire mount because the DTA/blast chamber combo that came with it was not concentric to the bore. The replacement (DTA only) Resilient sent was slightly better, but not anywhere close to the near-perfection level of the Area 419 mount.

Yeah. I just invested in the area 419 system for a hellfire match and tbac 9. Probably give it a go and put the SRS brake on it to fit in between.

I get the cost effectiveness aspect of this. My dealer is charging $100 to process the paperwork. I view the current discount from US covering that, and I decided to eat the stamp myself, as I hope to hunt with it next month. Also, pessimism makes me think the free stamp will never happen. I hope I am very wrong about that!

Welcome sir! Glad you finally found your way over here. Be careful, this place will have you spending a lot of money

I wish there was a cost effective way to get one of these, there’s no silencer transfer place where I live.

would Capitol Armory take the Form 3 transfer, do the Form 4, and then ship it to you door like they do their in-house cans?

That is something I don't know about. I guess when I get closer to the time Im buying I'll call them and ask. Speaking of capitol armory, it's sort of funny. People complain about silencer central but I just did my first silencer through capitol and it was the EXACT SAME PROCESS....identical steps, timeframe etc. I just thought it was funny since people complain about SC but rave about CA.

I just called Capitol Armory because I was curious if they would accept a form 3 and then do the form 4 to your door. He said they do it all the time, it's $155 transfer fee plus whatever shipping that might be incurred and the $200 tax stamp. Pretty good deal really for those that would have to travel to an FFL.

I can't comment of the Capitol Armory/Silencer Central thing as I've never used either, but yes my suggestion of Capitol was purely off of what I have read about them both.

So you buy it, have it shipped to capitol armory then go through they process get it to your door? sounds easy enough, I guess 155.00 isn't too bad.

Yup, he said it’s a pretty simple process.

 

[Marbles]

That's not bad, local spot quoted me $75 for a transfer, but I'd about pay an extra $80 just to avoid dealing with them.

I may be out of line here, but I get the impression most of the hate for SC is that they heavily push their house brand of “Banish” cans. It seems many feel they are overpriced and/or underperform compared to the competition. I’ve not used SC myself but I can say capitol armory was a great experience for me.

Not saying capitol armory is a bad experience, I’ve just read that it’s better than SC, I’ve also read many claims of how slow SC is even though I never found SC to be bad. Just commenting that it’s pretty much the exact same experience. You are also right about the banish stuff and how SC pushes it.

I have purchased 4 cans from Capitol Armory. Good and easy process. “IF” the manufacture is in their network of dealers. Out of network the fee of$155 is excessive as I also have to pay an additional .0825 sales tax on the entire transaction. This adds $80 to every $1000 spent. So if I go Air lock or Reaper it adds $240 +$200 stamp to the price of an $850 can. That is a 45-50% “fee” on every can. That business model is not sustainable and has me out of these vendors.

Anyone have their Reaper in hand yet?

I’m days away. Paperwork submitted Thursday (9/18) afternoon.

A friend of mine ordered a new seekins hit pro m3 in 6.5 and I talked him into the reaper with the srs brake endcap. He picked up the suppressor today and brought it over. With the brake endcap and 5/8 24 adapter it came out to 10 oz. The can is beautiful and the endcaps on both ends are very nice. Got it timed with his rifle and got to shooting. We had ears on but the can sounded great and seemed fairly quiet overall even with the brake. The brake endcap worked phenomenal, there's not tons of recoil with a 16lb rifle in 6.5 creed but the brake did a great job of managing what was there and of keeping reticle on zero sheet at 100 yds. I was really impressed. Next time out we will get him out to 500 yds then work on some positional stuff and see how it does. After shooting it, im jealous I dont have one.

If you have a higher recoiling rifle I would be interested to see your thoughts on the brake for that. I will be running the reaper on a light 7 PRC so I’m debating just ordering the muzzle brake cap.

I tried submitting twice last week but my silencershop account was having issues.

 

[KY_coop]

From what i understand, more powder burning makes a brake work better. We will only be shooting that can through his rifle but im sure the brake would work better the harder its pushed. Id atleast get it for any range day you have with the 7 prc.

Has any progress been made on the self-timing brake? My Reaper hasn’t shipped from US yet, so I haven’t ordered the brake yet in hopes that the self-timing version is not far out.
Initially it will only be for 300WM, but soon I’ll want to swap it to a 7 PRC and a 300 SAUM as well, so not having to retime it would be nice. First world problems…
