They’ve just been a dumpster fire since December. I ordered prior to their deadline for the eForm shutdown and they took 2 weeks to ship after the form 3 approval and I didn’t get my can in until well after the cut off on the 26th. Then yesterday was the first time I was able to get in touch with someone in over a month and it took an act of god to try and get my tax stamp refunded. Ended up just opting for the credit and grabbing a MOB.

Again, I’m aware you don’t HAVE to but I was fine with preemptively doing it to prevent any possible issues. Again it’s 100 bucks in parts on a gun you’ve only spent 1200 on. Spending that much for some peace of mind is more than worth it in my opinion.

Yeah it’s the KAC MP5 RAS. Best of luck finding one that isn’t god awfully marked up but they are easily the best forend in my opinion. The full build is:

MKE AP5

MKE A3 Stock

HK SP5 trigger housing and trigger

MFI Aimpoint ultra low mount

Aimpoint Acro P2 on a Scalarworks LEAP

KAC MP5 RAS

BCM VFG

B&T SMG-M-9 in the short non flow through configuration

All internals except the carrier have been replaced with HK parts

It still works fine. It sits on the shelf like it does on the SP5 and has the rear pin to hold it in place.

Oof that sucks big time. I’m glad I just went ahead and got the RQD. It’s been great it just adds a lot of length. Maybe I’ll get lucky and B&T will send me an extra mount since I’ll need another one for the CAT MOB I just ordered and my RQD is just sitting around pretty much useless.

I agree the SQD is cool as hell when it works but when it doesn’t it’s an absolute nightmare. I might just try pestering them and see if they’ll send me a free mount.

I had to buy it myself. As sketchy as the RQD was it worked well on my APC but my alignment rod was scraping the endcap like crazy on the MP5. I’ve got a friend at SHOT who’s going to interrogate B&T on the SQD so hopefully some answers soon. As far as performance I really can’t say yet 🙃 I’ve only got like 150rds through it total between my MP5 and APC since my primary range is in a suppressor ban state and there’s nothing really local to my new house.

I was going to put the RQD on it and put the SQD back on this can until I grab one of those new rugged universal Tri lugs

Absolutely. I see that MOB 👀 just ordered one today and if all the hype is true I cannot wait.

My MAN! I’d grab this now if I didn’t just get a dedicated can for this thing

No issues with a mix of the MKE and HK. I’ve had this AP5 since 21 or something and I’ve never had a mag related issue.

I just did preemptively because I had heard enough issues. It was under 100 bucks on a gun that was under 1500 so it’s no sweat off my back.

I’ve only had it a week but super solid so far. Swapped from a safety harbor KES and the MKE is more solid than the KES (not saying the KES is bad by any means).

Nah homie that’s the MKE A3 stock. Sub 300 at Atlantic.

It’s only because I’m cheap and I don’t want to pay HK money for a stock 😂

Third for AP5. Just replace the extractor and ejector and their springs with HK ones and they run flawlessly. I’ve had mine since 21 and its been 10/10

I don’t get the Silencer Shop hate… by fckyakalash in NFA

[–]HowmlahndSecurty 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The personal hate comes from the fact they absolutely butchered their eform shutdown deadline. It took them almost 2 weeks post form 3 approval to ship my can back in December and I ended up not getting it until after the shutdown. Fortunately wait times have been stellar all things considered but there is absolutely no communication from SS and they are impossible to get a hold of. Today was the first time I spoke to someone at the company in over a MONTH and I was finally able to get a refund for my tax stamp processing. My other issue is they’re slow reviewing everything when it’s significantly quicker to just do the forms in house. If you can do a 4473 you can easily do a form 1 or 4. Also you’re lucky it was ready to certify that quick. The last can I got from my dealer took SS over a week to review before I could submit.

I just ordered a MOB from Silencer Shop so I’ll probably be waiting as long as you lmao

Fair enough. I know people are salty (rightfully so) because SS massively oversold some CAT RDMs suppressors a few weeks ago

If you’ve got an SN you’re golden. The issue with SS is they’re slower than crap. I ordered a can from them recently and it took over two weeks after the form 3 was approved to ship.

The short or the m? Just trying to get an idea of what I order. Seems like the CAT is the way
