You did it! You filled out all the forms, packaged up your payment and shipped everything off. Now the painful waiting game begins. No, not todays income tax filing deadline, the NFA Form 4 you just sent off for that suppressor or short barreled rifle you’ve been wanting for ages. But now the painful approval process begins. In the meantime, why don’t you use some of that tax refund to grab some silencer-supporting gear. Threaded barrels, subsonic ammunition, gas regulation and muzzle devices all top the list of needed equipment after finally buying a suppressor.

Don’t care for NFA controlled items? No problem, everything you see here will enhance your shooting experience, regardless of muffler ownership.

Gemtech Suppressed Bolt Carrier

The GEMTECH Suppressed Bolt Carrier is a drop-in replacement and will allow the shooter to choose between suppressed (S) and unsuppressed (U) settings without any permanent modifications to the firearm. No longer will you need to change gas blocks, buffers, or any other components.

And in some systems, testing has shown that it can actually bring it LOWER than unsuppressed levels.

• Reduce Bolt/Carrier speed while suppressed (S – setting)
• Unsuppressed velocity is unchanged (U – setting) from that of a normal bolt carrier
• Reduces Felt Recoil
• Reduces Blowback to shooters face
• Less wear and tear on weapon system
• 14.5in Colt M4 – 25% decrease in carrier velocity while suppressed.
