Hi Folks,
First time post, long time lurking the forums... I just completed my trust and a purchase with silencershop.com for an Osprey 45 ( e-file ) so now the wait begins! Hopefully it's inside of 4 months like they said it should be. I'm totally new to suppressors so wanted your thoughts if you don't mind. I have an Ed Brown Special Forces in 45 and an HK P-30 in 40 I plan on using as hosts for this can. The HK barrel will be a few months out as they're impossible to find but the 1911 barrel shouldn't be too rough. I've read that Nighthawk makes good threaded barrels. Would you guys recommend the Nighthawk barrel ? If not, what barrel would you recommend ? As far as gunsmiths go to fit it ( I wish I knew how to do it myself but don't ) I'm thinking of a local guy unless you think there's someone specific who would be better suited. Thanks in advance for your thoughts/recommendations.
Chris

Take a look at the Storm Lake. They make both drop in and gunsmith fit barrels for the 1911. 1911s vary enough that I went with the gunsmith fit one and it took about 20 minutes for my gunsmith to get it to work.

Re: Osprey 45
I had debated myself with getting a 1911 like yours, but I went with the NightHawk instead.
Hopefully your dealer efiled it before the shutdown.

The threaded storm lake semi fit w/ bushing is the best bang for the buck ( when on sale) and they shoot quite well. I have a cut 6" i fitted on a modded $250 Norinco and its a tack diver.
However for a pricier Ed Brown I would make sure your barrel bushing and link is custom fitted to reduce odd wear. The suppressor is also going to foul the snot out of the gun so be aware of that too. ( thus the Norinco's)
Ask your smith what he suggests and that might tell you if he's worthy.
Barsto and Kart are good barrels and you can cut 6" barrels for better variety and get rid of the dreaded 1/2" gap before the can.

Thanks. Didn't know that.WC wrote:Toxarch wrote:How are they going to e-file if they government e-file website is down indefinitely?
E-file is back up and working
But I feel that we should put "working" in quotes if it's the same as it was before.

But they are not processing forms 3, 4, or 1 yet. (only form 6s).
Form 4s will be the last one added back to the system, and no one knows how long that will take.
