Suppressor for 22/45 threaded 22LR

[Marthor]

Just bought a 22/45 threaded barrel today. Anyone know where I can get a reasonable suppressor?

I'd also be interested in making one myself if anyone has any pointers.

Third topic from top is about fabricating your own suppressor. Lots of other stuff regarding suppressors -- makes, models, application process. Also, you can google Class III dealers in your state.

Don't expect "Hollywood" quiet from your threaded 22/45. Contrary to popular belief, they are suppressors, not silencers. Short barrels and semi autos are not as quiet as long barrels and fixed breach guns.

If at all possible, find a dealer and try as many different makes as you can before deciding on one.

Even if its not Hollywood quiet, it'll make you giggle like a schoolgirl.

MKIII 22/45, Tac Sol Pac Lite, AAC Pilot. Mousefart quiet with CCI Standard Velocity.

Hi, my MKII KMK512 is noticeably quieter than my KMK10 with the same suppressor on either pistol.....both using standard velocity LR ammo. Sure is a hoot to shoot :lol: :lol: :lol: They should come this way stock.......RR.

I have a Liberty Kodiak TL and am very happy with it.

Other cans I would suggest you look at are the Silencerco SS Sparrow, AAC Element or Prodigy, & SWR Spectre. They are generally well regarded.

A couple budget manufacturers that look good to me but I have zero experience with them, and haven't read a lot are Thompson Machine & Huntertown Arms. I am planning to buy a Thompson CHD this week. Both of these have attractive prices and designs.

They get very dirty so I suggest a take apart can.

This is my suppressed 22/45:

WTF? There's a $200 tax fee to get a suppressor?
Is that true everywhere?

Yes, in the US. Supressors are treated much the same as machine guns and short barreled rifles and short barreled shotguns.

Here's my new "suppressorless" Ruger 22/45!
I replaced the 1911 grips with all-black replacement grips.

I'm thinking about one of those "fake" suppressors just for fun and to tide me over until I'm rich enough for that $200 fee to not matter to me.

 

[blume357]

$200 fee plus the cost of the suppressor.... along with a background check, approval of your local sheriff and ect....

I would seriously consider when looking for the suppressor to look for one that could be used on other guns like a 10/22.

you can move that 'taxed' suppressor from gun to gun.... so might as well buy the best one you can.

 

[mattsbox99]

At least with the suppressor you only have to pay it once. Its a 3 month wait right now with the BATFE after you get the paperwork sent in.

I've been in talks with my senators and representative to get the process tweaked a but so you can buy one stamp and have as many toys as you want. The Government doesn't even care about your $200, they bask in joy of making you wait for 3+ months.

My Charger with the 10" barrel is much louder than either my 10/22 or MKIII with the suppressor as well.

I havr a TAC-65 supressor and I use it on a number of guns including my Glock 22lr conversion, Walter P22, Ruger 10/22, Ruger 77/22, AR-15 with 22 conversion and probably others I missed.

A 22lr supressed is as close to Holywood quiet as you will get and a thread mounted can is the best investment to get into supressors. Well worth the one time $200 tax and hurdles to get it! Shooting all day at the range with no ear protection is simply awsome!

 

[Smee781]

I have one of these and love it, user can take it apart and clean it and its SS so it should last almost for ever.

+1 on getting a can you can take apart. I have an SWR Spectre. A very nice can that will take 22 mag, 57, full auto etc. Spend the extra and get a good one that will last and can fill your future needs.

 

[DB30]

I agree with Hog, the SWR Spectre is worth the extra $$s

One "stamp" per toy. On your ATF application, you must provide the equipment serial number, in addition to local LE chief sign-off approval/fingerprints/mug shot. Your Class 3 dealer submits, ATF approves, equipment is sent to the Class 3 dealer from mfg. for your pick up, with whatever fees you and he agree for transfer.
Pretty straight forward. Suppressed full auto 10/22, $200 for weapon stamp,$200 for suppressor stamp. It is a document having pic and stamp of approval from ATF for each widget. Safeguard originals, keep copies with you.
And, don't even be caught with unregistered, serial numbered or not Class 3 designated widget. It will certainly bring you alot of misery in fines and prison time.
Hate to pop the bubble, but strictly enforced. One stamp per Class 3 designated item.......

 

[Richbaker]

With an NFA trust, CLEO sign-off is NOT required..... makes it a little easier in an area where the CLEO doesn't approve of such things.

 

[blume357]

Yes, my buddy down in Florida had that exact problem... the County Sherif will not sign off on these type things... so he formed some kind of trust/corp. which bypasses that part of the bureaucracy.

 

[mattsbox99]

Yea but you have to pay a lawyer to set up the trust...

 

[Richbaker]

A lot of people use Quicken Willmaker, IIRC..... and no problems reported.

 

[blume357]

In reference to what alkpon wrote....

Yes to one stamp per toy... but you can move a suppressor from gun to gun....

as to whether these guns are class 3 weapons, that's a different stamp for each one... but if the weapons themselves are not, and a threaded end of a barrel itself does not require an NFA stamp... then you can move the suppressor around.

 

[alkpon]

I cannot reply to your personal emails. The "Express" doesn't jibe with my set-up. I.E. Fees, etc...we need to not post any further.
My email is [email protected]. Shoot one this way and I'll explain.

 

[alkpon]

I'm not trying to be rude or distant. Just check NFA Act of 1934 and read thoroughly. Let's keep it that way. I hope you will understand my reasoning to just drop this Post.

 

[blume357]

Why drop the post.... i'll have to look back but can't see why at this point...

somebody wants a suppressor for their 22 rifle.... yes, they have to fill out a form and pay a $200 tax on the suppressor.... if they are going to put it on a short barreled or select fire gun then that also will need a $200 tax stamp. But, if the gun is just a 'regular' one that the average citizen can buy off the shelf then that's different.

 

[sgtlmj]

I have a Sparrow on the way. Look at the youtube videos of the Sparrow. Probably the easiest out there to take apart and clean. This is very important in a 22LR can since they get gunked up pretty quick.

I have a threaded 10/22, 77/22 and this:

The problem with suppressors is that there are too many to chose from. One of the most popular is the SilencerCo Sparrow. One you rarely hear about is the YHM Wraith. I chose the Wraith.

I liked the larger diameter of the Wraith. To me, it looks more proportional when on my 15-22 and Sig522 than the small 1in cans, and since I use optics on my Ruger pistols the diameter wasn't an issue for sights. One of the advantages of having a larger volume can is that it doesn't suffer a nasty first round pop like the smaller designed Sparrow and others. The larger volume makes for a very quiet can with a low tone.

Some guys like to take their cans part and scrub clean. I don't , though I do dunk it in mineral spirits as suggested. YHM suggests to return the can for service every 50,000 rounds. I sent mine back earlier than that (around 15k-20k or so I forget now...). They cleaned it out and sent if back free of charge. I used to use wire pulling gel thinking it would help keep stuff from gripping to the surfaces but have since stopped. It has a lifetime warranty but the baffles will eventually erode and I think they charge $100+ to replace.

Someone mentioned Liberty. I've been to see Dave at Liberty and have tried out most all of his .22 suppressors. Dave's a great guy and makes some awesome suppressors.

After considering a dozen different cans, I found the Wraith to be among the lightest, shortest, most quiet, no first round pop, wasn't going to fool around with scrubbing clean all the time, reputable company with a lifetime warranty... So I pressed the buy button.

All that said, I've never seen anyone at the range with a .22 can who wasn't wearing an ear to ear grin regardless of what manufacturers can was hanging from the muzzle. Good shopping... pick one and enjoy. ('')
