Bingo. Given the difficulty and expense in purchasing a suppressor, it makes sense to for them to be manufactured at an heirloom-grade quality.

If you could buy one stamp-free on a 4473 in 10 minutes, there would be a place for $50 rimfire suppressors and $100 pistol suppressors, even if they needed a new baffle stack (over the counter) in a few thousand rounds.

Also, I don't think the HPA was seriously intended. I think it was intended to be symbolic only, as NFA reform is a nuclear hot potato.

And that's really a shame. Turk's leaked white papers suggest that even the ATF would be willing to play nice.
