NFA is still an illegal registry

That's more like it doc!

That's a dude by the way. Cheap cans or not.

^^^ you got that right !

NFA is still an illegal registry

Only been around about 90 years

The fact that we ar eposting on an internet forum, means we are all "known quantities"

Most of us arent getting any younger and i think if something adds value or enjoyment --- sometimes just need to jump in and say - heck with it --- what the "registry" adds to the 4473 is a set of fingerprints and a passport phoito - which a drivers license or retired military id already has

I had three a bit back . One for a 338 Frderal one for 30 cal and one for 22 LR . I’m down to the 30 cal can only and to be honest I rarely fire the rifle it’s on .

I need to take a shower....!

That's so wild.

Appearances 'can' be deceiving....

I understand that Lyman is coming out with a line of Sonicore Suppressors. I understand that they are $199 to $299. Aluminum tubes and stainless baffles

[Bill in Oregon]

Now that's more like it, and I expect to see continued price point pressure. A plain-jane basic can costing more than a decent rifle, handgun or shotgun? I don't see it.

I haven't bothered to dig into it but I'm wondering if anyone knows. Is it legal to build your own now?

It was always legal to build your own. You had to and still do, submit a Form 1 with tax then once approved, you could make it with the serial number you filed with.

I have been getting more interesting in buying a couple of cans, so I have made several inquiries, and my brother-in-law has been shooting them for years and my nephew shoots F class competition and shoots cans a lot. I have been talking to several dealers also. For a .22, I would just go ahead and get a SilencerCo Sparrow, unless I wanted to get a bigger one for .223, 30 cal or even a 36 cal and that way I could shoot my Buckhammer, my 30 calibers, .223, 300 Blackout, howver, many say that it's better to get a dedicated .22 can and then get whatever center fire can that you want, but my brother in laws says just get the SilencerCo big enough for the largest caliber I want to use and shoot everything out of it.

I still haven't decided yet.

BLUF: Figure out which guns you REALLY want to have a suppressor on (like your hunting rifle and fighting rifle) then dedicate a suppressor to each one and don't swap around unless you need to. The more rolls you try to stuff into a suppressor, the less good the experience will be. I have a 45 cal multi-roll rifle can that's huge and heavy. Shooting a .45 ACP pistol with it isn't fun because of how heavy it is and putting it on a rifle sort of stinks because it's so front heavy and on a small bore centerfire like a .270 or .308, the .45 cal bore leaves an excessive amount of room reducing the suppression, even with the correct end cap. By having a .30 cal for those guns will result in better performance. My experience is that you SHOULD get a dedicated suppressor for whatever you're building especially if the gun is a "go-to" or important-roll type rig; hunting or defensive rifle.

22 cans are so inexpensive that I would recommend doing that anyway plus .22 has some specifics like cleaning that fully welded centerfire cans don't have but don't try putting it on a .223 rifle because the internal volume is so low, the effect won't be very good. Even if the can is rated to handle it, it won't be tuned for it.

Having multi-roll suppressors is convenient until you want to stop zeroing stuff then you need to start dedicating cans to builds. I only have 1 .22 can but I have several guns I like to put it on. If I'm out just plinking it's not a big deal but if I want to hunt, I need to verify point of impact hasn't changed since it's a screw on sort of deal. Not that it's a huge change if any but you still should check. I haven't removed my Q El Camino from my Ruger MKIII small game pistol yet because I don't want to have to make sure it's still zeroed when I finally get to go back out and hunt. If I had another 22 can, I could leave the El Camino can on the MKIII PAC-LITE squirrel pistol and put the other'n on whatever plinker I want to enjoy for the day. Same goes for centerfire. It's really tempting to have one can to do all the things but performance is lost when you don't dedicate.

Based on what you listed, yes on the Sparrow or similar. You also listed .223 so IDK if that's a bolt gun or AR but I would dedicate a unit to just that rifle especially if it's a go-to gun. I run a Dead Air Wolfman in the short config for my ARs but that's only because I haven't switched to a dedicated unit for that rifle. You also mentioned a 360 BH, roll in a 36 cal rifle can and you have your bases covered.

Yes, I agree and I really need about 4 different suppressors, maybe even 5 to cover all of the bases. That's quite a bit of money, and I am not sure if I want to invest that much in suppressors.

So far I have three suppressors:

My 'do-all' can is an Infiniti-X from LibertyCans - rated for 300 Win Mag on down, but started life as a '9mm pistol can' called a Mystic. It is a titanium take-apart can so ideal for the 357 Mag levergun I mostly use it on, but it does a decent-enough job on 5.56 NATO to make shooting pleasant instead of concussive.

I also have a Trek by Gemtech, as the 'dedicated' can for 223 for the 'house' gun (currently a Mini-14 due to ease-of-use by all, but considering a side-charging AR, and eventually after a 1000-round proof-test I'll switch to 300 Blackout most likely). The Trek is a welded indestructable can. I sometimes slip it on q 22 LR but it is overkill and heavy.

My third one is an Operative by Thompson Machine, and is an intrgral one designed to replace the Ruger 10/22 barrel, although I adapted it for a 96/22 levergun. SUPER quiet, no doubt due to being integral (long baffle section) and it is a take-apart for easy cleaning.

I've thought about several others:

- a dedicated 308 can - but I really don't shoot 308 often.
- a dedicated 44 Mag or 45 ACP can for leverguns - but none of mine in those chamberings are threaded, and since it's cold, I wear (amplifying) hearing protectors when hunting or target shooting.
- a separate 22 LR can - probably WILL get one of those, for pistol as well as 22 LR and 22 WMR and 17 HMR rifles; more affordable than bigger cans too.

I really don't bother shooting pistols suppressed, as that's not how I'm going to use them for CCW. Perhaps if I had threaded barrels for my Contender I might use a suppressor for hunting, but I doubt it, for reasons stated above.

Mostly I like suppressors for three reasons:

1 - training newbies - the 96/22 with a red-dot sight and suppressed barrel allows even gun-phobic folks to start shooting with a very non-intimidating gun.
2 - taming the house-gun - until we go with a 300 Blackout carbine or 45 ACP (MechTech) as the primary 'house' gun, the Trek on a 5.56 is vital.
3 - taming the yard-gun - when the livestock are attacked, I currently grab the 357 Mag Marlin 1894 CST, and it is nice to have it be reasonably quiet.

Go look at their Instagram details. They advertise a OnlyFans. It's either a dude with bolt ons or a chick that changed something down there.
