Suppressor Time!

[Prince Yamato]

It's here ladies and gents. My AAC Pilot finally arrived. I got to shoot the thing, and boy is it quiet! I actually shot it indoors without hearing protection. It's not Hollywood quiet, but it's easier on the ears than no suppressor at all.

I ran Remington Bulk ammo (Walmart Green Box) and Remington Subsonic through it. My host gun is a Walther P22. I shot 400 rounds of ammo through it over the course of a couple hours.

If you don't have a Silencer, you must get one. I cannot tell you how much fun one of these things is.

I concur...
More fun than should be allowed.

You don't have to tell me how fun they are. I have my 3rd waiting for the paperwork to come back from ATF. I will probably wind up with at least 3 or 4 more.

My stupid Attorney General is holding up getting suppressors legal in Michigan. According to the law they are legal with a license from the Dept. of Treasury (ATF). The ATF says that until our AG says the tax stamp qualifies as a license they can't issue them to us.

Funny thing, back in '05 our AG said that a tax stamp is a license for machine guns. Volia! Machine guns are legal in MI. Machine guns and silencers are covered in the exact same statute literally one sentance after each other. ATF is intentionally being obtuse to deny us silencers.

So not to threadjack, PLEASE BRING THE SILENCER GUN PORN!!!

I can't wait to move the hell out of here.

That's almost as retarded as Washington where we can own them and affix them to our guns but it's illegal to actually fire the gun while it's attached. :banghead:

I own two. A Tac-65 22lr & a Gemtech .223.
My 22lr is VERY quiet and my .223 makes my 11.5 inch .223 pistol barrel a pleasure to shoot by eliminating the painful blast of a short barrel & making it shootable without hearing protection.

Where do you buy suppressors and what do you actually have to do to make them legal?

 

[PTK]

TimM,

Call Alan Samuel in Dumont - he'll guide you through it. Alternatively, Jensen Arms in Loveland is really good, too.

PM me if you want a step-by-step of getting silencers here in Colorado, or if you'd like to possibly test out some of mine.

Step 1: find a local FFL that deals in NFA items.
Step 2: figure out what the best option for you is; buy from the dealer's stock, have him order it, or order direct from the manufacturer/supplier and have the item transfered to you.
Step 3: complete ATF paperwork (FFL can help you) and send it in plus $200.
Step 4: wait
Step 5: once approved pay FFL the remainer of the price of the item or transfer fee and take your new toy home.

I have a YHM Mite 22LR, I use it a lot with a P22 and a 10/22. The setup that is the most fun is with the TC Contender; with the subsonics it is quieter than an air rifle.

Good luck trying that in North Carolina. The county LEO chief (the sheriff) still needs to sign off on the approval and that is not likely to happen unless the sheriff is your golfing and/or drinking buddy.

If you go the corporation route, the local LEO signoff is not needed.

I did a trust because my county sheriff won't sign off. The trust was easier anyway. No pesky fingerprints.

Does anyone know if the trust route is valid in NC? I have had an out of state NFA dealer say it was legal. But then I also have heard that the Trust route is not legal here. The guy who told me it was legal seemed more knowledgeable on it, but I probably just need to talk to a local NFA ffl.

 

[DasFriek]

Im guessing that $200 tax stamp is required on every item you buy? So 2 suppressors would be $400 plus the cost of the items?

 

[M60]

Correct!
