If I can find someone to thread my barrel, I will try and see how the fake can that comes from Spikes Tactical fits.
 
fake suppresor

Here is the one I made for about a dollar. 1in. piece of pvc pipe cut to size and thre strips of the pipe glued to the inside for a tight slip on fit then painted flat black.

Why pay for a fake one. Make a fake one out of a 1 inch PVC pipe and a couple of 1 inch PCV washers from an auto store, slides on real snugg.:eek:
 
Not sure if too many people are willing to pay for a REAL one with the tax stamp and all for a .22. As a LEO i assume you meant a "legal" suppressor. lol......i think youtube has a couple vids with a suppressed .22:eek:
 
They are a bit pricey, but .22's are some of the most popular suppressed firearms out there. The stamp itself is around $200. The suppressors are around $600-800. They are perfectly legal here in WY, as long as you pay the tax stamp.

**Actually just looked at Gem Tech's website. .22 suppressor is $325.00 plus the stamp, of course**

I would love to have one, i could shoot at night out in my back yard......lol. :eek:
 
Just have to be patient. Paperwork takes 3-4 months through the ATF. Fingerprints, photos, etc. etc.

Would be nice to not have to wear hearing protection.
 
Do you pay for the tax stamp before or after the paperwork is aproved. Also do you have to have a stamp for each one you buy? What about the same can used on different firearms?:eek:

After. Yes, stamp applies to each silencer. They are built to a specific caliber, so if you bought one for your .22 rifle, it would also work on your pistol (assuming both barrels were threaded the same).

Interesting too, they must not be out of your control. Can't loan it to your neighbor to shoot (without you there). Can't transport across state lines without notifying BATF. I understand they have to right to come inspect where and how you store it to insure it is under your control.

Regarding the 15-22 specifically Gem Tech just returned email stating they have been using one of theirs on a 15-22 and it has been working great.

Oh, so many toys...so little money.
 
For anyone seriously contemplating buying a real suppressor I'll throw this out there for you. Don't waste your money on a .22 can when you can only use it on .22 caliber. The whole idea behind owning a suppressor is being able to use it on as many host guns as possible. With that being said I own 2 suppressors. One is a AAC M-4 200 for use on my M-16, the other is a 9mm AAC can that I have used on .22's, 380's, 9mm's....etc. I have a handful of guns I had threaded to 1/2 X 28 TPI and they all work great. I have heard many people argue that a .22 through a 9mm can is not going to be as quiet, but those same people who tried to argue this case could not tell a difference in the sound when I used my 9mm can vs their own .22 can. Why pay a 200 dollar tax and not get your full money's worth? You can even get a .45 can and shoot smaller calibers through it as well, but it gets tricky due to the thread patterns and often ends up costing a lot to get custom thread adapters made. Owning NFA weapons is not cheap, but if you are going to do it, try to maximize what you have for less money!

I feel your concerns about the suppressor can issues. I personally would not put a 9mm can onto a 22lr just because the threads fit. I have an issue about bullet stabilazation. Whats going to happen when some of the rounds start hitting the baffles. I would you a .223 can on a 22lr can if was stated to do so. To me this is just like trying to shoot 5.56 out of a barrel labeled for .223 only. Yes the bullets look alike but the dim. are different. They would work but for how long and what injuries may happen in the process.

Interesting. Did Gemtech say which model they were using on the 15-22?
 
I have a 15-22 and love it. I think the suppressor is an awesome way to go. I agree with going with the real thing as opposed to fake. Plus, wouldn't going that route also increase the value of your weapon, in the long run? Just a thought. Great posts! Thanks.
 
Anyone ever tried a levang linear compensator on a 22lr rifle? Do they really lessen the report that much?
 
Gemtech outback

The gemtech model is called outback! It is for rimfire and I currently have it installed on my P-22 which comes with a threaded barrel. I must tell you that little pistol has become one of my favorites. It is extremely accurate and just a blast to shoot. But adding the suppressor has pushed it over the top!!! .22's are probably the coolest to suppress, Mine actually makes less noise than my air rifle. I have many AR-15 platforms that i could have suppressed but after talking to many people decided to go with the rimfire one. The .223 model takes the level down to about a .22 so at least you could shoot without your ears on. I purchased a 15-22 yesterday with the intention of threading the barrel and suppressing it. I hope it functions properly as I have read many people have had problems!!!
 
Oh yeah, As far as purchasing a suppressor goes, The whole process took 90 days. But can be done by anyone who can legally own a firearm!! Just have your class 3 dealer set you up with the proper paperwork, Then pay a visit to the local sheriffs office (they are very nice to you) and have a few pics taken along with 2 sets of fingerprints
and next thing you know for 525.00 you own a suppressor that you can use on any .22 lr. with a threaded barrel.
 
Where does the problem lie when adding a suppressor? Does it happen with a bad gunsmithing job, or what? I just wouldn't want to trash my 15-22, plus with all other expenses,that could add up to disaster, pretty quickly.
 
You must have the work done by a competent gunsmith! Not something you can do with a tap and die set!! Then you will have no problems!!
Just take your thread protector off, screw on the suppressor and leave your hearing protection in the truck!!!

You must have a nice local sheriff. What area do you live?

Local sheriffs in my area won't sign.

Suppressors and other class 3 weapons ownership depend on state and local laws also.
 
Nice Sheriff

I live in western colo. Yeah I guess it might be a little tougher to get an approval in Detroit or Denver But for the most part unless they can prove that you are a menace to society you should
be able to get your TAX stamp!! People do it everyday, I would suggest you check your local laws etc. Then think back and try n remember how bad a boy you were back in the day!! LOL:)
