Mel,
was the purpose of the shorty to get some weight relief? or just a bit more handy? you live around an area that is pretty wide open so i don't see the 28" Grendel as being so long that it gets caught up in the vegetation, as outside of what's planted as crops, there doesn't appear to be much there. so i suspect weight perhaps? i still think the long tom is the coolest one.
have fun,

Going to b in the city for a few weeks right around the time tempers may flare up , so I built it just to take with me . That being said I wanted a nice compact gun for the truck and just to have anyways. Current events and my upcoming trip just happened to move it to the top of my list



Just loaded 100rds of 90g over 30.5g ppv in that wolf/ppu 6.5grendel lrp brass I got for it to fill 4 25rf mags

this thing is nasty even with the 3 prong on it the blast from the muzzle on this thing is insane , first time i let a round fly at the range yesterday the entire firing line paused lmao unfortuntaly i didnt get to shoot it much as the gas block came loose and i got tierd of manually cycling it

If you do suppress it, you'll never want to shoot unsuppressed again, it's just rude. lol

i have shot it supressed its much better but my small form 1 can is aluminum bodied so it wont hold up to repeated shots on the short barrel , does just fine on my longer barrels though , my ti bodied form1 can is a large can for larger rifle and magnum calibers so its just to damn big to stick on the end of the pistol, ill be putting in another form1 here soon for a 6 inch long shorty can out of ti and stainless for shorter barreled guns

Thats sweet Mel, I love my 12" or 12.5" GB barrel and pistol brace. I put a Sigma 6.5 on mine and it tames the flash and makes quick follow up shots much easier. I haven't shot it without muffs LOL I have an illuminated Leupold 1x4 30mm on mine and it is super fun to shoot and accurate

Where are you getting info on form 1's? fb or arfcom? I think I'd like to form 1 a can too.

For DIY Form 1 - a solid forum board: https://form1suppressor.boards.net/

The guys there are a bit "crusty" - but if you read the how-to-file - a correctly prepared Form 1 is generally approved in 30 days.

As that Forum will tell you with your research - the key area's that trip up 30 day approval have to do with "Model #" and/or "Serial #" - if you don't follow the suggestions - that will trigger a manual review process for your Form 1 Application that will take about another 60-90 days for approval.

With correct/smart info - again Form 1 approval can be 30 days from Online Submission with prompt/correct snail mail fingerprint card .

Several of the new "modular" Form 1's are slick - as well as new "tubeless" designs
