Re: Silencers
Be nice to see them on various pistols where I am sharing the line at some of our local matches.....

Re: Silencers
It sure would be a lot quieter on the firing line. They would help cut back on long term hearing loss.
Would a silencer change the POI on your rifle?

Re: Silencers
anything you hanging on the bbl changed the point of impact. Just re-zero your rifle.

Next time the nationals come to Raton we'll find out for sure, I'm bringing mine. 2 stage triggers, 6mm's and a suppressor make highpower a very fun game.

Re: Silencers
It would be an excuse for me to buy one, I'm for it! Let us know if they complain Kevin.
I buy all my guns from t-rex. He's a small arms dealer.

Re: Silencers
Way back when---I dont remember the year-at RAton a shooter used a can on a 10/22 at Nationals. I'm remembering he was from South Africa. Noone questioned that as far as I know. Certainly was quieter--action clacking was louder than the blast.
Close only counts with grenades and horseshoes.

I could see it 'outlawed' on a hunter rifle since you can't put any attachments on, but for the silhouette rifle I don't see a rule against it.

Unless it becomes nationally accepted (I believe only 37 states allow them) it would not be practical.

Get the ACLU to sue those 13 states for banning/witholding a safety device from shooters and therefore damaging your ears ....Another Dang 9 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 02, 2017 11:23 am Unless it becomes nationally accepted (I believe only 37 states allow them) it would not be practical.

Re: Silencers
House Bill 367 - Hearing Protection Act of 2017, was introduced in January and will eliminate the $200 tax if passed. They will be handled like a long gun for purchase. I read that if you purchased a silencer after sometime in 2015 (can't remember the exact date) you will be reimbursed your Tax. That is, if the Bill passes. I would think this Bill will make them more desirable. I would also think it would give leverage for fighting the states that oppose them. For GOD sake it's your hearing! Huh

Re: Silencers
You joke, but the ACLU put financial backing and counsel behind 2 plantifs here in Seattle (both brick and mortar gun stores) when the city implemented a ammo tax. They've been at several heartings and have drafted from what I can tell a pretty unimpeachable response to the city's last response which will likely result in the law being overturned and the two stores in question the winner of a sizable judgement.Merlin wrote: ↑Fri Jun 02, 2017 12:41 pmGet the ACLU to sue those 13 states for banning/witholding a safety device from shooters and therefore damaging your ears ....Another Dang 9 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 02, 2017 11:23 am Unless it becomes nationally accepted (I believe only 37 states allow them) it would not be practical.
