Suppressors are definitely legal to hunt with in NC...legislature made that change to the law a couple of years ago. I'll let somebody else respond to the SBR part but I think I've seen discussion that there is no rule against using one. |

General consensus among hunters and game wardens is that it's legal to use an sbr so long as the rifle is legal to own, but the wording and interpretation of the laws had been up for debate for some time now. Easiest way to find out for sure would be to fire if an email to DNR and ask.

Definitely legal for hunting.
Suppressors were made legal in 2013, SBRs this year. |

Thanks for the useful info and links. Now I presume I'll need to take some sort of hunter safety course to get a NC hunting license (despite 40 years of having a PA hunting license).
And will have to decide between 10" homemade 300BO and 12.5" Noveske 308 ;) |

Maybe you have to sign something that you did once receive hunter safety ed in another state. Or here in podunk, show the gun counter clerk the Noveske, and you're instantly qualified 
ETA Some of my help said they changed the HS stuff in 2013, maybe don't bank on that ^^^ , sorry. |

and just for the record...here's the snipped from HB562:
SECTION 8. G.S. 113-291.1(c) reads as rewritten:
"(c) It is a Class 1 misdemeanor for any person taking wildlife to have in his possession any: (1) Repealed by Session Laws 2013-369, s. 23, effective October 1, 2013. (2) Weapon of mass death and destruction as defined in G.S. 14-288.8, other than a suppressor or other device designed to muffle or minimize the report of a firearm or short-barreled rifle that is lawfully possessed by a person in compliance with 26 U.S.C. Chapter 53 §§ 5801-5871. Underlined part is what is new. Effective date for Section 8 is 7/1/2015. Item (2) was updated to include the suppressor wording two years ago...I believe the effective date was 10/1/2013. |
