More suppressor fun
After I got my suppressor, I decided I needed to set up the 10/22 so I could use the suppressor on it as well. So, I took it to Coal Creek Armory and had Gunsmith Bob cut the Ruger factory barrel to 16.25 inches and thread it. How did it turn out? Like so:

And without the suppressor:

Bob and the folks at CCA do good work. I highly recommend them. I haven’t shot the rifle yet. Looking forward to it.
Ahh, gun nuttery: $300 sight, $300 suppressor, and $200 dollar tax stamp to put on a $150 gun.

Looks like you’re ready for zombie hunting!

The tape is a nice touch. I should have bought less suppressor, but I’m learning. Mine is going on a 10/22 as well, on the end of a Titan Match barrel.

That turned out nice.

My next suppressor is probably going to be an AAC prodigy (22LR). At least you have glass figured out. I’m still trying to find something I like.
For me: 200 dollar receiver, 1500 dollar upper/suppressor/tax, 30 dollar placeholder scope. In case anyone has any ideas, I want a zero magnification, long eye relief scope with ballistic compensation. It’s for shooting 45 acp.

Blowing up unsuspecting soda cans without them hearing a thing…. Priceless.

VERY nice. Do subs cycle the bolt ok?

When did it become legal for civilians to use supressors on their weapons? Is it a state by state issue or federal?

federally regulated. some states ban them. most don’t.

Ah, yes. Stealthy gunning. Quite useful, but does it outweigh putting you at the top of the visit list when the dot.gov decides to come calling?
