Suppressed 10/22

[TheFrontRange]

A multi-question post here:

1. What are the steps involved in purchasing a suppressed firearm? I was thinking that a suppressor is treated like a Class 3 device, but it's been so long since I've even read anything about this that I can't recall.

2. What's the typical price range for a basic, suppressed Ruger 10/22? By "basic" I mean an otherwise no-frills 10/22...wooden stock, blue finish.

3. Any user feedback from owners of suppressed 10/22s, or other so-equipped firearms?

Not sure how much of a help this is since they aren't currently offering them, but a little info maybe...

Least expensive way to fly is a plain basic 10-22 and have the end threaded and purchase your suppressor separate. Typical price for this type of setup will run the cost of the gun, labor for the threading and the cost of your suppressor. Average price for a suppressor is about $350 plus a $200 NFA transfer tax. Option two is purchasing a internally suppressed 10-22, but they do tend to get expensive. Good ones start at about $800 (don't quote me, prices may be higher now for the popular brands and a smaller lesser know may charge less) and up, plus your $200 transfer tax.

Key to any deal is first that you live in a gun friendly state that allows these weapons and second that your local chief of police is willing to sign your papers. There are options to circumvent the LE requirement, but it starts to get a bit more complex and in many cases not worth it.

Here is Bardwell's NFA FAQ that will teach you all about obtaining NFA weapons.

If you still have questions, just ask.

I have one on order right now. I ordered the Phoenix rifle (and Phoenix pistol) from Advanced Armament Corp. http://www.advanced-armament.com/

I have been waiting for about a month or so for it to get to my dealer. I believe I paid right around $900 for it. Their web site also give info on buying. This is what I did to buy my sub gun, the same process takes place for the suppressor. First you pay the dealer for the goods. He orders it. When it comes in, he fills out the paperwork. You then take the paperwork to the chief law enforcement officer where you live. For me it was the county sherriff. He has to sign the paperwork. Then you get fingerprinted. Then you get passport photos taken. You put all this together and send it in to ATF along with $200. In about three months, assuming there are no problems, the dealer will get your one copy of the application back with a tax stamp pasted on it. You can then take home the gun.
