i am starting to look at getting a suppressed 22. i know zero about this topic,so asking for start up info here. i know that is federal paperwork and fees. that added to cost of gun and can might make it over budget but having a quieter gun for doing pests in my semi rural area would have some advantages. am looking at savage 64 trr sr that comes threaded from factory and has a rail already. any experience with this rifle? what are some quality can brands? got a link to a starting out rundown? this is going to take some research for sure but any pointers in the right direction would help. thanks.
 
Re: considering a suppressed 22

Go with a Silencerco Sparrow SS or one from TBAC.

That Savage as a host sounds good.

The tax stamp will run you $200, on top of the can's cost.

You will need to determine if your chief LEO will sign off on the Form 4, if not, you will need to set up a trust. Get up with some members from your hometown to see who a good lawyer is for a trust.

It would save you a few months of wait if you could find a FL SOT dealer who has what you want in stock. If not, he will have to order or you will need to order from another SOT dealer and have it transferred to your SOT dealer via a Form 3. Form 3s are taking 2-3 months, add that to the Form 4 which are around 5-6 months and you have a 8 month wait, while your money is spent.

I have a TRR-SR w/ a Gaurdian suppresor. It's very reasonable, you can take it apart and very quiet with the right ammo. Using CCI Quiets, my air rifle is louder. All you hear is firing pin and the target.

Consider a take apart 9mm can, this way you get dual use.


Sparrow (I have) is good but has a fair amount of first round pop on a pistol (quieted down with a bit of water); however it has no first round pop on a rifle. Also look at the SWR Spectre 2.


Good luck

I like the fight video! gotta love those neighbors
 
Re: considering a suppressed 22

just you using the suppressor = LEO sign off
multiple people allowed to use (family , ect) = trust

you pay more for a trust with the benifeit of shared use. with the nfa stamp wait at 6-7months you need to wisely make an INVESTMENT choice and not a cheapy. a good dealer will offer payment plans i mean 6 - 7 months is a long time. it's addicting. i tried Agula super colibri 22 rounds unsuppressed (i would NEVER advise suppressed on that ammo) for a quiter 22 and decided i needed more and ordered a suppressor.

The Sparrow is a great can and very easy dissamblely. I have not personally shot a TBAC so I can not comment but their can is sealed which means no disassembly for cleaning. Just food for thought.

the mark II fv-sr is a better 22 from savage with threaded heavy barrel and comes with the rail

Not my video. Not sure why they make the videos automatically go from one to the next.

I would agree to this. I built my 10/22 semiauto around my .22LR suppressor - then realized that a bolt action .22LR is quite a bit quieter and soo much cooler.
My 10/22 hasn't been used since I purchased the Savage MKII FV-SR a year back. It comes with a over-sized bolt knob, and threaded barrel. You can clip the trigger spring and end up with a pretty sweet factory trigger at 1.75 lbs.
I'd stongly consider your host options.

PS - I'd recommend a can that you can break down rather than the sealed cans. They state sealed cans don't need to be cleaned for 10,000 rnds.....but after going nuts with .22LR - you can go through 1,000 rounds fairly quick. I'm not very happy that I can't break down my sealed Warlock. They now offer the "jailbreak" option so I can service it, but it costs $150 or something like that. Which would make my $300 can a $450 can. I should have just bought one that breaks down from the start. Peace of mind.
