If it's the industry standard HUB (1-3/8"x24tpi) direct thread adapter, you could order direct from a manufacturer. I have a Diligent Defense suppressor in the CLEO notification period right now, but I ordered their 1/2x28 DT adapter and it's only $55 and in stock in multiple barrel thread pitches.
I too shot a turkey once. 270 130gr Core Lokt at about 15 yards. Made some turkey burger (literally).
The shadow from my hat making it look like I’m missing my front tooth is the real icing on the cake 😂
Just received approval for my Diligent Defense Enticer S Ti. For 4 Trust was resubmitted 4/30, approved 5/14. Capitol Armory said they would request an expedite on the resubmittal as it shouldn't have been rejected for the mistake in the trust beneficiary, but IDK if that had anything to do...

Regulation costs aren't just the price of the permit, it's the engineering and construction costs to build to the regulatory standard. So yes, materials went up, but the bill of materials is what it is because everything has to be so over-engineered.
The only reason it's so expensive is because of the extraordinarily high regulatory requirements relative to other forms of energy and the NIMBYism that is on prominent display in this thread.
Sorry if it’s been mentioned, but one addition I would propose is the addition of a small number of LE mule deer permits for the rut in all the current general areas. Like 50 per HD or maybe even less. It would spread out the bonus points and allow a few people to hunt dumb bucks but...
