Both of my suppressors have been approved. The first one I got took nine months these two took less than five months.
The funny thing is, the $200 tax stamp was required way back in 1934. $200 in 1934 is approx $3600 today. So it is significantly cheaper now to buy a suppressor than it was when the law was enacted. Glad they haven't increased the tax with inflation.Additional red tape & $$$$ to buy a gun muffler. I can’t bring myself to do it..just an outright money grab by the gov’t…
I think it would be closer to $200 as an average price. It may depend on the amount of machining that was necessary to make removable caps on both ends to make it easier to clean and so forth.I bet if the tax stamp was removed and the special NFA licenses was removed, you would be able to get suppressors for under $100 regularly. overturned.

Maybe the higher end ones, but no doubt those sold as solvent traps were coming in under $100 before the ATF declared them "suppressor parts". So someone was making them cheaper. Not to mention making your own would be a much easier option.
A less expensive one that won't last as long is much more desirable when you don't have to pay an extra $200. I have considered some of the $250 Al ones that are out there, but with an additional $200 on top of that, I would spring for one that would last a lifetime.
For that matter, you can make one out of an oil filter, but when you have to register it and pay $200 extra, it is hard to spend that kind of money on something that may only last a few shots.

I have shot a 1301 with the Silencerco Salvo 12. Depending on the configuration it can be very quiet to sounding like a 22LR unsuppressed. Longest configuration running low recoil buckshot or slug 1080~FPS sounds like someone loudly clapping.Yes they make shotgun suppressors. Not sure how they perform but know they have them at silencer central.
Wow, that gets me 1 step closer to pulling the trigger. I might just raise my hand to the ATF and say, "here I am".Just saw an Efile go through our shop 10 days from submission to stamp issue
