Write your congressman and get the hearing protection act passed.


It's gotten a bit easier since I bought my first one. My local gunstore
has a internet connected kiosk sponsored by the biggest suppressor
distributor that asks all the questions, takes the finger prints, asks
the dumb questions, collects the $$$ for the tax stamp, forwards that
info and the info from the dealer (suppressor serial number) and spits
out a receipt. Then you wait for the crew at the ATF to process your
info, which takes 3-4 months these days.

It is still a ridiculous process that the Republicans could have done
something about if the democrat senators would have not filibustered
it into oblivion.
I can understand machine guns being Class III but, really?
Suppressors?
Even the European countries that make guns very hard to come by don't
have these silly suppressor laws.

Hey, Dopey, suppressors are fairly popular and would be more so if it

I made my own for a .22 rifle. It wasn’t any louder than a spit. Made from drilling a cylinder of hard rubber. Really easy

For 22rf PVC pipe and milk bottle caps works fine.

Probably, but my variation was a just a wee bit more sophisticated than that.

Sometimes simple is best. The advantage of the PVC thing is, until you
actually put the bottle caps in there and put the cap on, it is just a
few plumbing scraps and trash that goes in the recycle.

I know what you’re saying, Greg. But this wasn’t for the US market anyhow. This was hardened (not Bakelite) rubber and with care made to last a loooong time.

I am not sure about the longevity of the PVC deal but my buddy who
built one says when it gets louder, you just replace the caps. It is
BB gun loud with regular .22 LR ammo out of a 4-5" Ruger bull barrel.
I think it is quieter than my CO2 pistol. That is probably because a
significant amount of powder is still burning when the bullet comes
out. They say the same thing about the SOCOM M1A

I prefer to stay on the legal side of firearms laws and regulations,
although it is easy enough to make a suppressor from an oil filter. I
am the not so proud owner of two suppressor stamps, one for a .22LR
device and one for 9mm, and I think the latter device also works for
.300 BLK. I don't think I'll buy another suppressor, though.

Oil filter suppressors are YouTube folklore.

I bet it is hard to find a gun barrel threaded in 3/4-16 ;-)
I also wonder how well that actually works since there are no real
baffles in there. I suspect a 2 liter pop bottle would be as good.
I tried the 2 liter bottle thing and even with a .22 it is loud as
hell.

OTOH a 3/8" MC cable connector with 1/2" IPS thread will friction fit
on most .22 barrels. and that works fine with a 1/2" NPT to 1.5" slip
PVC bushing. (or reducing coupling if you can find one)

There are "conversion" muzzle adapters that make the filters fit
properly and apparently there are some filters that are already threaded
properly. I've seen lists and some videos on these.

I'll stick with the legal, properly "paperworked" and "stamped"
suppressors.
