Suppressors

JK Armament introduces new 3D-printed suppressors and expands its lineup with rifle, pistol, rimfire, and shotgun options at SHOT Show 2026.

On July 4th, President Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill into law. Starting January 1st, the $200 tax stamp for suppressors, short-barreled shotguns, and other NFA items will disappear.

The U.S. House Committee on Ways & Means has released text for the upcoming Reconciliation Bill, and buried in the pages is a major pro-2A development: a provision to slash the outdated $200 National Firearms Act (NFA) tax on suppressors to $0.

First up, SilencerCo is bringing back one of their most iconic designs—the Osprey—but with a major upgrade.
