You guys need to be very careful there is a reason me and tacticool leave one end open.. if it has end caps or plugs it will need a 200 dollar tax stamp. It doesn't matter if it suppresses the rifle or not. According to the atf any part of a suppressor is the suppressor and needs a stamp. So becareful what you build, speak of , and post pics of.. and if you wanna build a real can pay the 200 dollars and build it once you paper work comes back

Dayum that looks heavy......
Doesn't the scope kinda negate the quick target acquisition with the eotech holo up front?
Looks fun! I never thought I'd need a light lik that, until the other night when I had to take'r outside for coyote control.
sorry, off topic. my bad.

It's heavy. Same as a M1 Garand @ around 12 LBS. The junk on top is a PVS-14 with it's 3X military lens. (That's current issue 3RD Gen night vision). With the can there is no flash, plus a quiet muzzle report. It makes a person quiet stealthy in the dead of night.
The advantages this gives you, for night time zombie missions makes the weight acceptable.

Really?! Suppressors are not inherently evil nor the purchase of one is intended to do evil. In fact it was once considered rude to fire a weapon without one attached. Having access to suppressors at this price would be amazing, but you say thank goodness... you must live in a "compatible" state where no crime is committed because the criminals can't get pass a background screening. Give me a break guy... "thank goodness". Psshh.

I concur with PIGtooth on this. If suppressors were affordable and not so difficult to get approved for most of us, then shooting at outdoor ranges, sportsman's clubs, etc. wouldn't upset the surrounding homeowners so much and would be less likely to raise a stink because of all of the shooting. I wish everyone was running around with supressors (within reason).
As the population increases, it's becoming harder and harder to find places to shoot because nobody wants to deal with the constant noise in their neighborhoods. Unless you are lucky enough to live in a rural area where you have space and few neighbors this is probably one of the major reasons why you don't see more ranges.
There definitely is a practical use for suppressors. I don't think you have to worry about the gangbangers embracing suppressor use because their drive-by shootings are normally meant to be 'statements' with some shock value. What good is something that can't be heard and nobody notices immediately. Not much of a statement IMO.

I know this is kinda off subject, but does anybody make a barrel shroud that also accepts a suppressor? The reason im asking is i would prefer it to look uniform.

I have one for the 10/22 but not the 15-22.
However, if you have a threaded barrel, just slide the shroud up to the back of the suppressor. If you have a non threaded barrel, we can hook you up for that too.

That would be pretty sweet. Mine's just plain barrel, no threading. That's why I want to find a shroud that you can lock into place then screw a silencer on the end rather than buying a converter. With the proper shroud not only would it look better, i wouldn't have to take it off then put on the converter/suppressor.

OK, I think I have an idea of what you want.
The "can" is screwed onto our Threaded Barrel End (TBE) then the 6 inch shroud butts up against the back of that.
The hand guard end cap has been taken out.
Our Fake cans and barrel shrouds are 1.125 diameter. The one in the picture is 1 inch dia.
The TBE is 1.0

Thats basically what i was looking for, cept without the converter. Although to be honest i haven't been able to find nething like what i have in mind. I know its hard to explain it without pictures but what i thought would be neat it to have a shroud that sticks out paste the barrel a few inches with some sort of screw off cap. Not sure if that help or not

It does help. I had designed that exact concept quite a while ago, but it was a combination that was too unique and spendy. So I compromised with what is offered now.
This is kind of going towards a PM type thread. PM me if you want to discuss options.
