The TBAC "Recore" program provides a way to upgrade select legacy TBAC suppressors to the most current ULTRA series baffles and construction. The ATF has ruled that repairs that retain the old tube and do not change caliber or overall length do not require any additional "Form" paperwork. The Recore will replace the baffle core and both endcaps but it will retain your original suppressor tube.
The performance of the suppressor will mimic the suppression and cartridge ratings of the respective ULTRA core that it was upgraded to. Its weight will generally be an average of the original model's weight and the new ULTRA model's weight. This is because the additional weight savings of the ULTRA tube design will not be realized, but the core will be lighter.
Recores on tubed suppressors (Gen1 Ultras and all prior models) are done using hybrid baffles that are Gen2 geometry but Gen1 "sized" so that they fit inside the original Ultra or 30P/30P-1 tubes. This means they have the latest geometry but have lower internal volume than a true Gen2 suppressor because Gen2 Ultras are tubeless. As a result, the improvement from an Ultra Gen1 baffle stack to being recored with a Gen2-geometry/Gen1-volume stack is "maybe" 1 to 1.5 dB. Due to this, we do not recommend recoring a Gen1 Ultra to a Gen2 hybrid stack if the sole reason is a desire for improved suppression performance.
Once recored, all .30 cal and smaller suppressors will be converted to either the ULTRA-style direct thread (DT) end or the Compact Brake (CB) end that accepts our CB brake and CB flash hider.
The Recore program will be implemented using our RMA process. You will ship us the suppressor with the RMA process and we will contact you for payment details. The possible upgrades and fee schedule are detailed below.
The turnaround time for a RECORE is currently about 4-6 weeks as of Feb 2020.
