The hardest part of the whole process is paying upfront a thousand dollars or more and walking out of the store with only a receipt.
I could not imagine spending 30,000 on a MG and only getting a receipt.
I stand corrected.

I am going by the SilencerCo decibel ratings above. The ratings for the 762 model is the same as the 556 model.
Anyone attempt to build their own?
“All I need to know about silencers is what I see on movies. pfft pfft you’re dead.”
Their own silencer? Would be hard for me to justify seeing that this is really the Golden Age of silencers with more companies than ever competing with new designs for your dollars.
——likewise—if the Hildabeast from the bottom of the sewage lagoon gets her way , when that excuse is offered ,the investigating federal police will simply throw the person in jail until they are really ready to talk as to where the guns are——
Legally, you’d need a license first.
Long prison time and heavy fines for manufacturing a suppressor without a license -if you get caught.
If they’re not registering them ow do they low how many have been sold?
Me too. But they actually should be mandatory like a bicycle helmet...for the prevention of hearing loss. A car with no muffler gets pulled over and ticketed because of its noise. What’s the dif between a suppressor on a gun and a muffler in a car?
I like the shirt that says “You can have my gun when you take it from my cold dead hands. Just be careful - the barrel is going to be really hot.”
I can’t wait to see the mediots go crazy making fools of themselves trying to explain ‘silencers’ and tell us that the public doesn’t need them
Tell them it is a public health issue. How many people needlessly lose their hearing? Throw back the “public health” into their faces. They will not have a response.
Here’s mine in action:

I was thinking about a kydex rig holster that allows one to snap in and out the XDm with the suppressor with a sideways twist against the gun belt.
Just thinking about it, though.
Anyone attempt to build their own?
Potato....lol
NFA items are all registered. Have been since 1934.
I know a guy who loaded a G19 mag in G22. Velocity was pretty low. :-)
You should film that outside as the noise on videos filmed inside is deceptive. Even outside under cover can be deceptive.
