Anyone have/used a noise suppressor (silencer) for their gun?
I'm thinking about buying one to use on my Ruger 10/22 rifle and Walther P22 pistol. It is expensive as hell IMHO ($550) and I want to know if I am wasting my money on a useless toy?

They sell these at the local gun store, I thought about getting one for my 9mm until I found out it would cost like $750. If you have the machinery, it's a piece of cake to make one. The question is, can you make it yourself? Or would you rather pay the money for one?
PM me for more info.

The real cost and the hard part is getting the Class 3 stamp so that you can legally own it and shoot it.

What brands are available to you? There are some very good .22 suppressors available for around $250. Tack on your $200 tax stamp and you are still under $500.
Also, ask your shop if they will assist with setting up a living trust. This lets you bypass the LEO-signature requirement and also include any family members as members of the trust. The shop I'm planning to use charges $50 to create and file the trust which I consider money well-spent.
I've already got my .22 pistol set up with a threaded barrel bushing, just waiting for the extra cash to start the purchase process.

Legally Yes, but does it leave you physically incapable of doing it? Not in my law book.

LOL. That's if you get caught though. I mean, what, are you gonna rob a bank? Seriously...If you own a supressor, what do you own it for? Just to say "I have this"?

we are all such bad asses on the ******* internet.
"who cares about going to federal pound-me-in-the-*** prison? we can easily escape and evade the law like superheroes"
The type of **** you get into without a license for something like this is not a slap on the wrist.
I guess its just hard to understand some of you guys that live in places where a million people wouldn't call the cops if they even remotely heard/seen you with a silencer.

To keep the tree-hugging neighbors from meddling in your business when you're taking care of the groundhog that is destroying the foundation of your woodshed.
srsly, we've been killing varmints in the backyard for 50 years with guns without a problem. Some ******* go and buy the property behind us and build a house two years back, and now they think they can tell me that I can't dispatch the groundhog that is destroying my shed? They'd better shut the **** up before a 'stray' wanders their way. The groundhog is probably in my shed because they chopped down the 3 acres of woods on their property.

I'm not justifing anything, my car runs low 13's in the 1/4 and it has a MS2 standalone with 460cc RX-7 injectors, and a little turbo with around 13 psi. That's all I'm sayin on a miata forum. You get what I'm layin down, son?

$295 plus 7% tax.
$200 tax stamp
$30 adapter
If I buy my own on the net he will do a transfer fee for $75 (seems a little high). He says a trust is around $225 so I won't go that way. Just too cheap.

IDK if it has already been mentioned but when i went to go look at getting a P22, one of my friends that owns a gun shop here was showing me a sweet *** surpressor that you can take apart for cleaning (good option to look in to sence you would probly be shooting a .22 alot cause of how cheap the ammo is)
