I've sold/traded-off most of my center-fire calibers and finally jumped thru all the legal hoops and got a "legal" suppressor for .22 Rimfires.
IF you like to shoot, but are troubled even in the coutnry by city people moving in and coplaining about yoru shooting, a "legal" suppressor may be a worhtwhile solution.
With Std. Vel. ammo there is no more noise than a Red Ryder B-B gun.
Another older fellow and myself shoot "control" of groundsquirrels in some of the local hay farmers fields where they cause real problems....
Pretty easy to see it will be a useful tool for this, and if a person is nto totally devoid of imagination he could envision just how useful it might be in a "One Second" scenario.
Cost of suppressor aprox $200
Cost of registration , $200 to BATF
I have wanted one from about age 10, 50-some years ago, and figured, "Why be scared of yet ANOTHER gov't. agency having me on their "list" (since they almost certainly DO already), so spent the $'s for a thread-on unit from SRT.
(Get a user-serviceable one, NOT a "sealed unit".....22LR is DIRTY, and it will build up in a sealed unit.)
If accurascy is affected at all, it is for the good.
I now have several rifles with their muzzles threaded so I can switch the suppressor form one to the other.
I don't have the $'s to put together SOCOM-type tricked-out stuff, but I can (almost ;-) afford to have ammo and get muzzles threaded on my existing .22 rifles.
If this is NOT an appropriate topic to bring up on this forum, and anyone is interested, feel free to contact me @ : dave3220@mac.com
Best to ALL!
