Troy,
Do you think having a bit longer barrel like the AK-104 would help with quieting that bad boy down?
Suppressors are legal in 35 States; one just has to jump through all the hoops required by the ATFe.
As far as legalities go. A person would…
Need to have a registered MG. More than likely that’s not going to be possible for me.
Need to have a pre-ban weapon, then you can have a flash hider=suppressor
Use a thumbhole stock so there is no pistol grip protruding conspicuously below the receiver. A la M1A
What we really need though is the AWB to go away and leave us alone. That’s probably the only way I’ll ever wind up with a suppressed AK.
My plan would be: buy a post-ban weapon now, pray to the gun gods that the ban goes away in 11 months. Register the weapon as an SBR, have it converted into a Krink or 104/105. purchase suppressor(s) for new SBR(s)
