Firearms legality question

2 letter coke bottle.....I have heard......that a pair/apple with a hole drilled all the way thru, then placed on the end of a hand gun, sure makes it low noise....but messy.....cleaning the area kinda sux

Any noise supression on a firearm is illegal. However, noise supression on an airgun is not.... Just saying.
Airguns come in calibers ranging from 22 to 50, and a nice 25 caliber airgun will cost less than the modifications you would have to make to a firearm plus the Class III stamp, which is $200 BTW. The hardest part of getting a Class III stamp can sometimes be getting approval from the county sheriff.
Check out www.pyramidair.com for a variety of airguns. You might not even need to supress them.

Golden Marlin and mountain dew will take care of the problem....

It is not illegal to have a suppressor on a firearm. Downside is you for every one you have you have to pay a $200 (luxury) tax...don't know the exact name of tax. Also, you will forever be registered with the ATF and cannot let it out of your site without paperwork from ATF. Pretty much big daddy gets to watch over you....same with automatic weapons.

Believe that was already discussed how ILLEGAL this is! Nice recommendation there, offering a highly illegal means to someone else.

I have some subsonic ammo for one of my 22s. Aguila makes it like was mentioned already. Very very quiet rounds. Still kills tho.

Illegal.

You can buy a 22 suppressor for ~ $200, pay the $200 NFA tax stamp and probably around $100 to thread the barrel on your .22. Then you would be legal but you can only hunt non-game animals with an NFA firearm (ie. machine gun, SBR, suppressor equipped). Squirrels should be ok.

The Aguila subsonic ammo is 60 grain so it may not stabilize in most .22 rifles. It works fine in AR type rifles with faster twist rates.

You can buy CB 22 ammo which is subsonic but it will not cycle semi auto guns so you have to manually rack the slide on them but they are very quiet. Similar to a loud pellet rifle.

It is highly illegal to suppress any firearm without class III permit for each gun/suppressor.

I use CCI CB caps here around the house for skunks,coons,opossums and other varmints in an old remington single shot rifle. They are quieter than my sheridan 5mm silver streak air rifle.

The person you purchase the suppressor through has to have to class III, you only have to pay the $200 and register....process takes 3-4 months

About the coons....harbor freight is selling live traps for $20 each....just bought a couple since the little boogers never come out at night while I am there.

Semantics, point still remains it is $200 per item. You can't pay $200 and buy all the class III gear you want. It is also still illegal to suppress a weapon with a homemade suppressor.

Shotgun.....if there's sumpin to eat there....the pigs will come back!
