Yes, one pack of 3 chokes. No, no kits needed to change lengths. You buy a 12" suppressor that you can shorten to 10, 8 or 6. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Obviously $1400 msrp for the can its self. |

That 6" version on the Mossberg pump sounded really quiet. I know the sound doesn't translate well in a video, but the action of cycling the slide was louder than the shot.

There is also one announced by a smaller company shortly before this announcement. I guess the other company is small enough that Silencerco can ignore them at least for now.

American specialty ammo also has had a 12ga suppressor for sale for a few years now
Xcaliber showed theirs roughly a year ago but took a while to have finished product ready to sell Quicksilver offers shotgun suppressors on a special order basis Red Jacket has two models available SilencerCo is the first of the big players to bring one to market but far from the first. Though I have always been a fan of SWR and purchased their cans before I started doing form 1's for my own |

I have a few questions regarding this. Maybe you guys know the answers:
1) Is it legal hunt migratory game birds with a suppressor? I know TX changed the law that you can deer hunt with suppressors now. But I was under the impression that migratory birds are a federal thing. 2) Adding the Salvo12 to a standard length barrel with no modifications....will this affect spread? 3) Will the Salvo12 will have adapters in standard chokes (F, M, S...) or does it use factory chokes? I thought I read that it attaches using the choke threads. 4) How would spread be affected by cutting a barrel down to 12-16" to reduce overall length with 12" Salvo12? I've never pattered a SBS, but I would assume that shortening the barrel would significantly change the spread. From my questions above you can probably tell that I only care about the Salvo12 for the purposes of hunting. I'm trying to understand if it will be worth the expense and time investing in the Salvo12 and platform? Basically, if I knock down birds with a suppressor at a similar rate to normal shotgun it seems worth it to me. If it means sacrificing birds, missed shots, and frustration I'll just keep using cigarette butts in my ears. |

I see nothing that states you can't use a suppressor for game birds. The TPWD site actually states in two places that "game birds" are legal to shoot with suppressors/silencers. "The Commission also adopted rules permitting the use of firearm silencers for the take of alligators, game animals or game birds" http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/newsmedia/releases/?req=20120330b Silencers may be used to take any wildlife resource... http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/regulations/outdoor-annual/hunting/general-regulations/means-and-methods Both links make mention that while silencers are now legal to use for all animals, this regulation change does not exempt you from the laws surrounding ownership of the silencer in the first place. If you want 100% confirmation you could always call or write TPWD as well. |

The part about Federal, State and Local laws I take to mean that the silencer has to actually be legal to own in the jurisdication you are using it, which in Texas means it needs to be NFA registered. There may also be additional federal guidelines regarding hunting in a National Forrest/Park/Grassland that may be more restrictive regarding possession of a silencer on Federal property much less hunting with it. TWPD probably also doesnt want some yahoo who doesnt even know what a form-4 is going out and buying an oil filter or solvent trap adapter at the local gunshow and sticking it on his rifle for deer season because TWPD says its ok as long as he is "hunting". However, If you want an ironclad legal opinion on the subject than I would suggest having your attorney draft determination letters to TWPD and the US FWS. |

I see nothing that states you can't use a suppressor for game birds. The TPWD site actually states in two places that "game birds" are legal to shoot with suppressors/silencers. "The Commission also adopted rules permitting the use of firearm silencers for the take of alligators, game animals or game birds" http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/newsmedia/releases/?req=20120330b Silencers may be used to take any wildlife resource... http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/regulations/outdoor-annual/hunting/general-regulations/means-and-methods Both links make mention that while silencers are now legal to use for all animals, this regulation change does not exempt you from the laws surrounding ownership of the silencer in the first place. If you want 100% confirmation you could always call or write TPWD as well. Well I'm less concerned about TWPD and more concerned about the Feds. The last part of the section you posted is what I'm concerned about: Silencers may be used to take any wildlife resource; however, all federal, state and local laws continue to apply. Just my perception... but I dont think that TWPD is going to published that it's legal to hunt all game birds with a silencer in Texas on their website and in their regulation postings but in reality it is actually illegal to do so at the Federal level, basically negating everything TWPD published regarding the subject. The part about Federal, State and Local laws I take to mean that the silencer has to actually be legal to own in the jurisdication you are using it, which in Texas means it needs to be NFA registered. There may also be additional federal guidelines regarding hunting in a National Forrest/Park/Grassland that may be more restrictive regarding possession of a silencer on Federal property much less hunting with it. TWPD probably also doesnt want some yahoo who doesnt even know what a form-4 is going out and buying an oil filter or solvent trap adapter at the local gunshow and sticking it on his rifle for deer season because TWPD says its ok as long as he is "hunting". However, If you want an ironclad legal opinion on the subject than I would suggest having your attorney draft determination letters to TWPD and the US FWS. It should be legal if there is nothing prohibiting it. But I would double check as stated. In WI, the DNR handbook use to always state it was unlawful to hunt with a rifle with a barrel length of less than 16". But it was still legal to do so since there was actually no state statues prohibiting it. In the last couple years, they recently changed the handbook to state that it is unlawful to hunt with a rifle with a barrel length of less than 16" unless the person has a legally registered SBR or something along those lines. I would assume the same thing with hunting federal game birds with a suppressor. Check the actual state/federal statues to be sure. |

Well, I'm not sure when I will be able to afford the actual can, but I've already scheduled an appointment for my SBS to visit Dr Steve at Rose Action Sports...
You know, so I'm prepared. Down the road. In case anything should happen.
