Plans if the hearing protection act passes.

[AngryRooster]

Just curious what people's plans are if the hearing protection act passes.

As it stands now, I'd like to have a few suppressors (and SBR/SBS) but the whole expense of the tax stamp & trust is a huge turn off. It's hard to justify the $300 for the trust and another $200 for the stamp before a single dime is spent on the actual item.

Things I'm looking at if suppressors are removed from the NFA are:

.22 for the M&P 22 pistols & rifles
9mm handguns, wife's AR-9 pistol & 300 blackout subs
5.56 rifles & maybe an SBR
45 for the pistols

I haven't really looked into brands or availability yet since it was not high on my list of things to do. I'm sure that if it passes then the demand will skyrocket and it will be a while until the shelves are stocked to the point we can walk in and pick from several.



What's everyone else's plans?

You don't have to have a trust to own a NFA item. If you don't want to spend the money on one, don't get one

Tax stamp or not, silencers are worth the cost and I'll continue to buy them regardless. They're one of the best gun/gun items I've ever bought

A 3rd 22 can would be nice. A couple 45 cans for back up cans. And a dedicated 300 blackout can. A Salvo would he neat but super high priority compared to the others

I'll get more cans. Tax stamps just dictate how quick. That or I cut back on beer and bourbon for a couple months. We all have hobbies that accumulate $200 quickly

If the restrictions are removed I plan on buying a small lathe

This.

Most likely this. And every gun I own will have a can

I hadn't thought about this, but it definitely is the right choice.

True, but I want my wife to be able to have access & control of it as well. My sister is now working in a hospital in Indy and her husband is IMPD SWAT. I want them on the trust as well.




I never thought about a small lathe, I kind of like that idea as well. I'm sure my first one will be from a major manufacturer, I may try a kit for the next one, after that who knows.

I have a big lathe, but not the know how for a suppressor, so I will wait until all the cheap Charlie's have got their fill of suppressors, and after the QUALITY manufacturers catch up with demand, and I will buy several more! Oh, I'll also have a public bra(ok, tax stamp) burning!

I don't want to go off dreaming too much until we actually have more than casual talk about getting this done.

I can buy my machinist coworkers lunch for a month.

They've got CNC lathe and mill.

 

[flightsimmer]

"If it passes" I'll consider a suppressor for my 22/45 lite.

 

[churchmouse]

Lets see if this comes to be.
If so, I would love to build my own.
Until then only a pipe dream.

[w_ADAM_d88]

I'd become really good friends with someone with a lathe. All joking aside I'd be in for a suppressor for my AR and I'd probably buy a 308 rifle with suppressor too.

"Pipe dream".

Good catch.

 

[rooster]

sounds like they should change the bill name to the hearing protection and sporting goods stimulus act of 2016

 

[KLB]

I will start out by getting some integrally suppressed rifles.

 

[Huntinfool]

Yes an internally suppressed 10/22 would be awesome.

I want to do a Napa 4003 filter and a Maglite and see how well different cones work.
