    so they are pressure rated?

    Ive not seen any rated that way. i've seen caliber limits, and barrel limits.

    It's not just peak pressure that's the problem . It's the volume, think about the amount of powder in a 308 compared to a 300 ultra mag . A 308 rated supressor cannot handle the volume of a 300 ultra mag with out the pressure exceeding the working limits it was designed for.

    Do all suppressors have to be cleaned? I was told that I didn't have to do anything with the Yankee Hill and SF suppressors that I have. Was that bad advice?

    NO they do not.

    Follow the manufacturers recommendations. Several say they do not need cleaning, a few older ones did.

    Many used to come apart, few center fire ones do now. I think materials and baffle design have a lot to do with it.

    So after I drop the grand on the $35 worth of material how much am I looking at for the gubmints permission to touch it and how long before I get it and I am assuming I get to pay for the whole shooting match up front?

    .22 LR ammo is generally dirty etc. and it is good for them to come apart. Also, if you are shooting cast bullets in a center fire pistol suppressor, it is good if they can be taken apart and cleaned.

    To clean or not to clean that is the question. This has the potential to surpass the 9mm/45acp debate.

    $200 for your stamp. And its all up front.

    Many folks form a trust to own the stamp. Doesn't save you money upfront, however it makes it easy to transfer your stuffs to a loved one when you no longer need them.

    If you shoot cast bullets, I'm not sure a non-take apart can is a good idea.
