Federal agents briefly detained our reporter at the scene, who says he was tackled to the ground and had a gun put in his face.
Do be aware that suppressors are substantially restricted in some states. Where I live, earplugs or shooting muffs are the only option
I’m not normally one to recommend this, but you gotta stop worrying about “legality” now.
As a practical matter:
Then build one.
Suppressors are just tubes with baffle plates. You can make one with home depot parts if you needed to.
Not really. You could shove some freeze plugs from the auto parts store into a capped length of iron pipe from the hardware store, but the tap to thread it onto a muzzle isn’t something you’ll find in either store. And good luck getting all the holes to line up if you’re trying to do it with a hand drill or a drill press. In the end, you’d have a real piece of shit, weighing down the front of your gun for little benefit.
You’d be better off not bothering until the local machine shop starts selling nice ones, along with full-auto conversions.
Please show us a demo of your Home Depot DIY.
Assuming an American audience, suppressors are a federally controlled device requiring a background check. Some states control or ban them outright more strictly.
