With the NFA tax dropping to $0, the market has been flooded by new suppressor manufacturers and existing firearms and accessory manufacturers who have added suppressors to their line-up. This means it’s difficult, especially for a brand-new manufacturer, to stand out in a very crowded space. Somehow, EchoCore Suppressors has accomplished just that, not only finding success in the market, but notching prestigious accolades along the way.
