I wish suppressors didn't even need the 4473. That would make it much harder to walk back.

---

They're still considered firearms with a serial number......

---

Which is still stupid because they do nothing to shoot the projectile. It's like putting a serial number on a barrel

Is anybody aware of someone who has recently purchased a suppressor by just doing form 4473 and the back ground check?

Other than the politicians who did it awhile back.

Trying to figure out if suppressors are truely over the counter purchases yet.

---

I am picking one up on Tuesday and doing just a 4473.

Most all the firearms, if not all, that are being dropped by Ruger were all built after 1947. I fail to understand where he comes up with that date. Just saying.

---

I made a tongue in cheek reference to the Ruger thread because several of the folks bemoaning the decisions Ruger made in that thread repeatedly make a point to talk **** about my guns in thread after thread. Sure enough, one of them was helpful enough to come over and do it again in this thread when I made that reference.
I've owned a Blackhawk, I own a SAA clone, I don't have any particular dislike for Rugers. Single action revolvers just aren't my main interest in guns, despite having owned a few. So you'll have to forgive my not knowing the exact history of Ruger when making the comment, because it wasn't really about Ruger.

I just truly don't understand people who are incapable of seeing something that doesn't fit their personal preferences and just scrolling past or moving on to something they like instead of being an ass to someone who likes something else. If I thought like them, I guess I would have posted in that Ruger thread something dumb like "I'm glad the Blackhawk is going away, the only people who gave a crap about them are 70 and grew up watching cowboy movies. SAAs are old fudd crap anyway".

But I didn't, because 1) I don't think that, and 2) if I did think that, I can't imagine wasting my time and energy posting like an ******* instead of just....scrolling by.

Anyway, that's all it was in reference to, I don't have a thing against Rugers.

I'll post my new can relevant to this thread on Tuesday when I pick it up. Spoiler alert for all the delicate flowers out there: it's probably going to be put on a gun you think is ugly. Your comments will be fresh and original, I am sure.

I honestly don't remember ever commenting negatively on one of your gun threads. But sorry if I have.

What no MAC-10?

They are cheap and I am occasionally tempted to buy one just because.

Wish I'd bought one of the registered full auto ones when they were an "affordable" machine gun 20 years ago.

Closest thing I have is this patch that makes me laugh every time I see it.

He told me it's a Kel -Tec CP33

What advice can you share? Is it good or piece of junk? I'll trust what you say.

---

Kel Tec are outstanding at thinking outside the box and designing cool stuff.

I haven't owned, shot or even handled a CP33 so I can't share anything good or bad about the gun. Accessories are all cheap in a bad way (other than the Dead Air Mask can).

I did own a Sub2K way back in the day. It was okay, but Keltecs QC/fit and finish/reliability has always had a reputation as being not nearly as good as their design work. I don't sell guns very often but I did sell that sub2k, it didn't really do anything other guns didn't do better, imo.

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

If you were going to buy a .22 like that type what would you put together for you?

---

Oh, I would get weird with it.

Samson Mfg makes a reproduction AC-556 stock for the Ruger 10/22.

I saw this picture like two years ago and its lived rent free in my head ever since. Someone cut down their 10/22 barrel to make the front of their suppressor fit flush to the Samson B TM stock and its freaking awesome. So this exact build is what I would (and may someday) recreate.

ETA: Except I might do an integrally suppressed barrel instead of a thread on can.

There are some many fun things you can do with a 10/22 in rifle or the Charger form.

If you want to break the bank, get the volquarsten in the PC charger version. (ENV PISTOL)
- https://volquartsen.com/departments/pistols/products/1383-env-pistol

You can also go with a custom build (I'm working on one like the pic below) I can get the links together and send them to you

Or just snag a 10/22 takedown rifle and get a suppressor and life is good.

22 is one of the best, cheap, and most fun to shoot.

Go check out Rimfire Central if you really want to go down the custom 10/22 rabbit hole.

My collection of sub/PDW right now.

Top-6" 300BLK
Mid- PSA AR-V with Novox Reaearch SD barrel. 115s stay subsonic.
Bottom- AR9 with AS Designs super safety

I build all my rigs with the Stern Defense RAB-AD butt stock. Love them. Like the Law folder but don't like the extra width it created in small bags.

as I have never owned a can before, what is a good option for a 556 that won't completely break the bank. while I'm likely to spend more down the road, what is a good starter can for $500-$750 (or does that even exist)?

---

Several in that space.

Otter Creek Labs Polonium will probably be the best option.

As always - check the Pew Science Rankings - https://pewscience.com/rankings

Resilient Stacy's Mom 556K
CMMG Zeroed suppressors
Exigent Defense LE556 or Street Goblin 556
Yankee Hill makes good, affordable and strong suppressors

If you are looking for a dedicated 5.56 can then good on you. If you want something that can swap between calibers you will want to get a 30 or 36 sized can. You lose a little decibel suppression on 556 but you can swap to a 300 blackout, 9mm, etc...But 556 isn't ever going to be whisper quiet anywho.
