Does the range also do Form 4 Transfers? There’s usually a period of months between purchase of suppressior / submission of paperwork and ATF approval to actually take possession of said item. During this interim, colloquially known as”ATF JAIL” the device is stored with the FFL who is doing the transfer. Some shops/ranges will allow you to use the item on their range if they’re doing the transfer. This is called a “conjugal visit”. You might have seen such visits.I see lots of guys at the gun range with silencers on their rifles. See them a lot in pictures at competitions also. I guess I can kind of see them for home defense or maybe hunting. But why would a range gun have one? Still need to wear ear protection. I can't imagine they add anything to accuracy.
Not putting them down. I'm a big believer if whatever floats your boat. I'm just curious about why a person would drop a grand on one for a dedicated range rifle. Is it just the cool factor at work?
No, I wasn't. But I was not specific either. FWIW, my most commonly used range rifles are .223 (bolt and AR) and 6.5CM.The OP didn't give me the impression that the discussion was on 22LR silencers. The 1K reference was part of why. I'll let him clear it up if he was.
Where did you get that I was calling them offensive? Jeez.Well maybe i would want to sight in for the change of point of aim. Maybe I would like to check zero before a hog hunt or setting it against the night stand. Just look the other way if it's offensive.
While I agree with you here, I never said I had to be on the lookout for silencers.Better to be on the lookout for those dangerous enthusiasts that didn't learn gun safety.
The vast majority of gun owners today, especially those who put any significant time in at the range, do not own guns because of their classic looks.But guns with the classic looks, no suppressors, are so sleek and original.
If I could own a gun just for the "classic looks", it would be Teddy Roosevelt's lever action with silencer.Sgt. Saunders, Kirby and Cage didn’t have them.
Aside from the obvious benefits, they are tons of fun.
Not sure, but my guesses are that it's easier to manufacture something like that precisely with a concentric hole. Also don't have to worry about clocking it. For rifles, it's not an issue in most cases, due to the ubiquity of optics.Why aren't silencers now made eccentric so you can see regular sights?

I don't know what it is about putting a can on a lever gun, something about that combination is just really aesthetically pleasing.The vast majority of gun owners today, especially those who put any significant time in at the range, do not own guns because of their classic looks.

Pat Riot: I thought MSR means manufacturer suggested retail (price)— but I Was aware that the Iron Curtain came down in circa 1990.
Lingo...it always be a changin.I think it’s high time there’s just one more annoying acronym / abbreviation.
SSM - Silencer Suppressor Muffler.
A lot cheaper than boats, cars, etc. etc.They seem to be addictive too. That’s why I’m staying away from them
SILENT JACKHAMMER
In the end, the question is, “How well does a suppressor suppress the sound of a gunshot?” Variables beyond the suppressor’s design include the type of ammunition, the firearm and barrel length, so there is no single inclusive answer for any individual suppressor. Typically, however, manufacturers claim a reduction of 20 to 40 decibels. Unsuppressed centerfire gunshots are in the 140-decibel range; a 40-decibel reduction puts that into about the same category as a jackhammer. Part of the reason a person perceives the suppressed firearm as quieter than a jackhammer is due to the extremely short duration of the sound of the gunshot compared to the continuous noise of the jackhammer.
