The M110 SASS Suppressor: Military-Grade Sound Management
The M110 Semi-Automatic Sniper System is used by U.S. Army special operations, Rangers, and designated marksmen units worldwide. The rifle's suppressor is built to military specifications and integrated into the M110 ecosystem. Griffin Armament manufactures that suppressor, the M110 Gate Lock model, to strict military-contract standards. This isn't a commercial suppressor that mimics military design. It's an actual military-grade component, available to civilians with proper NFA registration.
What Changed in 2026: The NFA Tax Stamp is Gone
As of January 1, 2026, the $200 federal NFA tax stamp was eliminated. This changes the economics of suppressor ownership entirely. You still need Form 4 registration in most states, but the cost barrier is gone. If you've been waiting to suppress a precision rifle, a designated marksman rifle, or a .308 platform, the time is now. The M110 suppressor represents the standard used by American military marksmen, and you can now own one without the historical $200 fee.
Gate Lock: The QD Mount Standard
The Gate Lock system is a quick-detach mount. Indexing is intuitive—align and twist for attachment, reverse for removal. This matters for precision shooters who want to verify point-of-impact without the suppressor attached, then re-mount for field use. The Gate Lock mount is battle-tested. It's been used on real M110 systems in real combat environments.
Platforms and Compatibility
The M110 suppressor pairs with .308 Win / 7.62 NATO platforms optimized for suppression—the M110 itself, precision AR-10 builds, Remington 700 variants, and other .308 precision rifles. Signature reduction is significant without compromising reliability or accuracy. This is what actual operators use when noise signature matters.
The Suppressor Advantage
Suppressors reduce muzzle blast, extend the longevity of your hearing, reduce shooter fatigue, and in some cases improve point-of-impact stability. The M110 suppressor delivers all of those benefits on a proven platform. With the tax stamp cost eliminated, the decision to suppress is now purely practical: do you want quieter shots and better hearing health? The answer for serious shooters is yes.

THIS IS A SERIALIZED ITEM. It must ship to a Federal Firearms License holder. No civilian exceptions.
Buying and shipping through Charlie’s is easy, but there is some information you need to know. Only a federally licensed firearms dealer may receive a firearm or federally regulated serialized item (like a receiver or suppressor). We cannot ship these items directly to you. Please follow these steps to process your transaction:
1) Check your state laws to make sure the federally regulated item you want to purchase is legal in your state. Your FFL dealer should be able to give you all of the necessary information regarding your state specific laws. But, if we ship to your FFL, and there is a legal issue, we cannot accept a return. So please make sure that you know and follow your local and state laws.
2) A quick google search will show you what Federal Firearms Licensed (FFL) dealers are in your area. When you are ready to purchase, contact the FFL dealer you would like to use and get their shipping address. During the check-out, put YOUR address in the “billing” section and the FFL DEALER’S address in the “shipping” section. If you don’t know your FFLs address, that’s okay. You can send the information later.
3) After check out, make sure to contact your FFL dealer to ensure they will receive your shipment for you (most do this for a small fee, but you should always double check).
4) Have your dealer send us a copy of their FFL to FFL@CharliesCustomClones.com. Charlie’s does not reach to your FFL (MAKE THEM EARN THEIR FEE!!!)
5) Be patient! In order to ensure we remain compliant with all federal laws, our compliance department is kept separate from our sales and operations team. Please allow a few days for our compliance officer to verify all of your dealer’s documents and ensure all federal laws are being observed. You should hear from our compliance department within 3-4 business days. If not, feel free to reach out for a status update.
That’s it! We try to make this process as simple as possible for our customers, but if you are unfamiliar the process or have any other questions, please visit our How to Buy a Suppressor page for more details.
