Waiting for the "CLEO" paperwork to be posted as received by my local police department. Under new ATF amendment it doesn't need to be signed but just signed off as delivered by USPS and then SC can ship the unit to me. Hopefully see it by end of next week. However I just found out the suppressor comes setup for semi-auto pistol use and need the piston spacer to use it on fixed barrel applications. Just contacted Silencer Central to include that item in the box.
After I try it out on my HiPoint Carbine I will see about getting a shop to do the thread work on my Rossi Ranch Hand 45 Colt and possibly the Marlin 1895 for low pressure .45-70 loads to keep it subsonic below 1000 FPS. There is load data using Unique and Red Dot powder for that.
More fun to come!
Site seems to be OK. Load issue should be resolved now.
Suppressor update...

Re: Suppressor update...
Here is some load data... http://www.gmdr.com/lever/lowveldata.htm
Go to .45-70 on left column and scroll thru the data. Red Dot and Unique are listed. I have used Unique 13 gr, loads with 405 gr. cast bullets and they shoot well. Since the Marlin is an 18 inch barrel 11-13 gr. may work well. Should be easy to hear that clang on the big gong from 50-80 yds. !
