New Trends in Suppressors — Elimination of NFA Tax Stamp Fee

Thanks to the Trump Administration, the expensive cost of a Tax Stamp for a Silencer/Suppressor has been eliminated. You still have to fill out paperwork, but suppressors are now MUCH more affordable. The $200 NFA tax stamp for suppressors (silencers) and other items like Short-Barreled Rifles (SBRs) was eliminated effective January 1, 2026, meaning the monetary fee is now $0, but the registration process through the ATF (forms, background checks, fingerprints) remains mandatory. The change significantly lowers the cost barrier to owning these items, making them more accessible, but does not remove them from National Firearms Act (NFA) oversight.

The elimination of NFA fees is creating a huge growth in the suppressor markets. At SHOT Show 2026 several suppressor makers have showcased innovative designs and affordable options. This video reviews Dead Air Silencers and the cutting-edge technology behind their most innovative suppressor designs with lightweight titanium construction. Highlighted in this video are the RXD910Ti and RXD22Ti, highlighting their advanced materials, impressive sound suppression, and multi-platform versatility. Also featured is the Nomad Ti OTB, an over-the-barrel design.

Evolution of SIG Sauer’s M7 Military Rifle — Updates

In this video, TFBTV’s James Reeves chats with SIG Sauer about the SIG M7 rifle and what has changed since the M7’s adoption by the U.S. Army. While the M7 has already entered service, SIG explains that the platform is still evolving through the Army’s Product Improvement Effort, driven by real soldier feedback rather than a ground-up redesign. Updates focus on reducing weight, shortening the system with an 11-inch barrel, refining the suppressor, and improving handling without walking back the performance goals of the 6.8×51 cartridge. This conversation breaks down what was changed, why it was changed, and how the M7 continues to mature as the Army\s next-generation service rifle.

New High-BC Sierra MatchKings and New GameKing Bullets

Sierra has released a large selection of new match and hunting projectiles. There are new GameKings, 7 new tipped MatchKings, and two impressive new all-metal MatchKings — .22 Cal 77gr and 6mm 105gr. The new 105-grainer MK caught our attention. Sierra claims that its new 105gr MatchKing is the highest BC 105-grain bullet available, delivering an unmatched blend of speed and high BC. Sierra says the new 105gr SMK (non-tipped) offers the BC performance of heavier bullets while maintaining the velocity advantage of a lighter projectile.

The team at All4Shooters.com spotted a cool new rimfire handgun, the Beretta B22 Jaguar. This new blowback semi-auto handgun is an innovative chassis gun. Controls are ambidextrous and you can even choose left-side or right-side ejection. The mechanical system is Ruger-type, with a bolt that is cocked by operating the two rear serrated ears. The double-stack magazine has a capacity of 15 rounds. The standard B22 Jaguar pistol is priced at $699.00, while the B22 Jaguar Competition, featuring match barrel, compensator, and thumb rest, is $999.00.

MatchKing Making — How Sierra Produces SMK Bullets

Sierra Bullets Carroll Pilant MatchKing Bullet SMK Bullet-making Jacket

The Making of MatchKings — How Sierra Produces SMKs
All Sierra bullets begin life as a strip of gilding metal, an alloy consisting of 95% copper and 5% zinc. To meet Sierra’s strict quality requirements, the gilding metal requires three times more dimensional and quality control standards than is considered standard in the copper manufacturing industry.

A blanking press stamps out a uniform disc and forms the cup that will be drawn into the MatchKing jacket. The cup is then polished and sent to a draw press to be drawn into a jacket that is longer than needed for the future MatchKing, thus allowing for the trim process. Press operators constantly check concentricity to ensures jacket quality. The jackets then go to a trimmer where they are visually inspected again.

After being polished a second time, the jacket travels to the bullet press. In the meantime, 80-pound lead billets are being extruded into lead wire for the cores where great care is taken so that the core wire is not stretched. The core wire is lightly oiled before continuing to the bullet press to be swaged.

The lead core wire and trimmed jacket meet at the bullet press where the first stage forms a boattail on the jacket. The lead core is then formed on top of the bullet press and fed down into the jacket. In one stroke of the press, the MatchKing is formed.

Quality control technicians pull samples from each lot of MatchKings to make sure they meet Sierra’s stringent standards. Samples are then sent to Sierra’s 300-meter underground test range (shown below) to be shot for accuracy on mechanical mounts referred to as “unrestricted return to battery rests” that Sierra designed and built in-house.

After inspection, the bullets are placed in the familiar green box along with reloading labels. They are then shrink-wrapped and shipped all over the world.
