Tax Avoidance
So, you want a suppressed, short-barreled 10/22 but the thought of ponying up $400 in taxes isn’t appealing? Well, do the Tactical Solutions SBX will cut your tax burden in half:
It’s a sixteen and half inch barrel so you don’t run afoul of SBR tax laws but it has a barrel shroud* that houses your suppressor. It is threaded at ½”-28 TPI to fit most factory suppressors, such as my Gemtech Outback II
I dropped it in a Blackhawk Knoxx Axiom stock. I like the ergonomics of it. It’s almost AR-15ish.
* It does not go up.

Every time I see this barrel setup I think of the time I screwed up and didn’t thread the end cap of my TAC22 on tight enough and it just left itself on my 10/22, and then I wonder what I would do if it happened with this barrel.

I almost pulled the trigger on one of these a while back but just couldn’t make myself do it. $285 for the barrel is basically the same as I would spend for threading my 10/22 and paying my tax stamp but to each his own. I guess I would rather give my $285 to Tactical Solutions vs. the ATF. Either way, it is pretty cool.

True, Ryan. But without the wait, if you have your suppressor already.

Very nice counter-tops.

Took me a second to get what you’re talking about. The shroud is permanently attached, pushing the length over 16″, but is of a big enough diameter than a suppressor can fit inside it. Not a bad idea really..

And as far as giving $200 to TS vs the ATF, well I guaran-damn-tee Tactical Solutions doesn’t have a nearly year long wait like the ATF does….

That’s because TacSol would experience consequences and repercussions for providing bad customer service. The ATF has no such limitations lol.
