This is the type of shit we have to watch out for. While I personally don't think they would be able to attach that particular poison pill (Outright handgun ban) and get away with it, I wouldn't put it past them to do something like mag bans or restrictions or any other number of stupid shit ideas like all new production pistols must have X as a safety device or some shit. Don't just pay attention to the Guns, Ammo and Mag's either... look for them to come after everything else that goes along with black rifles and a modern civilian gun owner as well.

If you think .22 was hard to find, imagine trying to find a suppressor for sale if this passes. Prices will skyrocket and there will be a two year wait due to supply shortages.


<--  bought 3 suppressors last week (SDN-6, Ti-Rant 9M, Halcyon).

Either they are trying to remind their bas that they haven't been forgotten, or Trump is not expected to make a full year as President. I'll be surprised if anything close to this passes.  

Hopefully this isn't just another bargaining chip that gets sacrificed by the establishment Repubs.  


With that being said, I'll order mine and do a few home builds if it does.  

Fingers crossed

.And remember, it's not GUNS they hate....Its all of us who stand in their way of ruling the masses with no consequence.  They are fine with guns as long as they are the only ones who have them.

Go build something with high grade stainless, inconel and/or stellite, to extremely tight tolerances which will result in death or injury if you screw it up... and offer a lifetime warranty... with the ATF looking over your shoulder for audits all the time... and get back to us about how cheap and easy that is.




If something HPA-like passes, then current commercially off the shelf cans will be unobtanium and/or ridiculously expensive for a period until manufacturing and distribution catches up with demand.

boltcatch you are a smart man. Too bad you are in Somalia or I would buy you a drink. You are spot on in your observation.

Suppressors will be hard to get for 6-12 months and then the laws of supply and demand with foster an more competitive environment. You can buy $129 pistols now, but you still bought a $499 Glock. Good stuff will still be good stuff and it will still cost what it costs.

That's wishful thinking. Established silencer companies that put out known quality products will have the distinct advantage in the market place still. Sure, some buyers that just want a cheap POS silencer will have easier access to them but they're by no means similar to SiCo, SF, or Dead Air.

Should the HPA pass we will see the market flooded with Radical Firearms-esque silencers. No thanks, I'll stick to high quality, durable, full auto rated cans with proven QA/QD systems.

Do you really believe that what we currently have is the best we'll ever have? Of course I acknowledge that the established companies have a large and distinct advantage in the suppressor game, but that doesn't mean there's not better, or will not be better products in the future.

I, probably much like you tend to pay more for a proven design, but that doesn't mean the casual shooter needs to (or would ever) spend $800-$1300 on a mid to high end suppressor. There's definitely a market segment for both entry level and the high end.

Also, a lot of those shooters who start with a (theoretical) $100-$200 suppressor will eventually see the benefit of a higher end, more permanent solution and will see their way to taking the higher cost plunge, thus growing the industry and fueling innovation in the long term.

Mr Boltcatch, How much machining experience do you personally have? Honest answer please. I'm no trying to be an ass. I am just trying to understand your statement above. I can't say that I have extreme extensive experience. But I do have a bit of it with ti ( Ti 6-4) , al (Various), and various stainless steels.

Direct thread all aluminum can with 1 stainless baffle for 125.00. Replace baffles as needed for around 6.00 per. You spend as much as you want, I guess names somehow make a 60 degree cone quieter. It is not rocket surgery making a firearm suppressor.

"Solvent traps","oil filter adapters",3D printing,etc.... will take up the slack.

Not really.

Suppressors cost so much because they are marketed towards people who have enough disposable income to pay a $200 tax, and those people expect an extremely long lasting product in exchange for their expense and inconvenience. This is compounded by the regulatory burden of dealing in NFA transactions. Manufacturers, distributors, and retailers all need to make a big enough margin to make that pain worthwhile.

Pull suppressors out of the NFA, and all of that mostly goes away overnight. The tax goes away, and cans will go from manufacturers to consumers in a couple of weeks. Do you really think suppressors should cost more than AR barrels or magnified optics?

The real fun is going to be in the hardware store parts lists that pop up here on Arfcom. Guys are going to be making cans out of all kinds of crazy shit just because we can. You think it's going to stop at Maglight bodies and freeze plugs? People are going to be making science experiments out of PVC, conduit, copper pipe, aerosol cans, shop vac attachments, or whatever they think might be fun to duct tape to the end of a 10/22.

AR15's weren't around when the 2A was written.

No shit? The AR15 wasn't around in 1492?
The question was in regards to the "sporting purpose" clause. Try to keep up.

(and it DOES matter. If you think it doesn't read the law. )
You don't really think that the 2A was written in 1492, do you?  Please tell me you don't.

I'm going to write my rep and one of my senators and ask that they support this bill.

My other senator is Claire McCaskill. I won't be writing her, seeing how, as a rule, I don't waste time talking to arrogant jackasses.

Direct thread all aluminum can with 1 stainless baffle for 125.00. Replace baffles as needed for around 6.00 per. You spend as much as you want, I guess names somehow make a 60 degree cone quieter. It is not rocket surgery making a firearm suppressor.

That's wishful thinking. Established silencer companies that put out known quality products will have the distinct advantage in the market place still. Sure, some buyers that just want a cheap POS silencer will have easier access to them but they're by no means similar to SiCo, SF, or Dead Air.

Should the HPA pass we will see the market flooded with Radical Firearms-esque silencers. No thanks, I'll stick to high quality, durable, full auto rated cans with proven QA/QD systems.

They could be made even cheaper than that. I worked for an 07 that made cans, we were making aluminum .22 cans for around $12 in material. Cost per part was really low on labor too, especially because we were running around 1k-1.5k cans per order. On the bar fed lathes and Swiss turn centers they ran themselves all night. We would come in to a basket full of done baffles, endcaps or serialized tubes. They could retail at the $50- $75 mark and there would still be money to be made.

If any legislation passes easing the restrictions of suppressor manufacturing and sales the economics won't allow for an 8 month catch period. There are plenty of ancillary manufacturers that have the capabilities to produce parts or even complete assemblies but do not get involved due to the current laws.

I've got multiple designs ready to go for additive manufacturing but can't afford the machine and I can't outsource it currently. Change the law and I'll have multiple designs printed by different bureaus within a week.

And on the additive note, DD missed the mark on their 3d printed suppressor by merely mimicking subtractive methods. The true beauty is being able to optimize the design without previous constraints.

Currently you are only allowed to temporarily loan a firearm to a resident of another state for a "sporting purpose". ATF has interpreted sporting purpose as traditional hunting and sport shooting (trap & skeet) purposes. They don't consider self protection, IDPA, 3gun, etc as a "sporting purpose"
They took a very long walk around all those practical shooting sports to reach that very bizarre conclusion.

We can haz suppressors?

Is there a way to attach a suppressor to a semi auto rifle or handgun without a threaded barrel or muzzle brake/comp/flash hider?

If not, NYers will only be able to use them on bolt guns and revolvers.

And that enterprising person will have his ass sued into the ground when the baffle strikes start and somebody gets hurt.  Then the next guy will copy that design and the ID will go to twice the size of a normal can and the suppression will suck balls.  It'll sell about as well as the crazy ass pistol grip not a shoulder stock NY legal shoulder stock.  Aimless will have 3 of them.

I wonder if some of those parts are meant as sacrificial bargaining chips.

Getting rid of state and local laws against suppressors, the part about anything bigger than .50 cal no longer being a DD, and the bit in the HPA refunding $200 tax stamps are all nice to have in there. But they're not really high priority compared to the main point of taking suppressors off the NFA.

Once Democrats start calling it a threat to public safety and call for compromise, I suspect the removal of those parts will be offered up to satisfy them. Much better alternative than allowing tighter regulations on other things like mags and ammo to satisfy the need for compromise.

If you think .22 was hard to find, imagine trying to find a suppressor for sale if this passes. Prices will skyrocket and there will be a two year wait due to supply shortages.
THIS!!!

Newton wiped out .22 for 3 years?

(Optimistic pragmatic)Hopefully maybe it can help out the ar manufacturers that are dumping ar's cheap. At least licensed manufacturers still exist.

Not only is it much easier to manufacture suppressors than rimfire ammunition, but the circumstances were much different. Newtown was an unforeseen event with tough political timing (Obama reelected), and people were panicking and hoarding.

HPA/SHARE would be the opposite of that. The entire industry is watching and quietly making plans, and manufacturers can gradually increase their level of investment as the bill passes. There will probably be an effective date that comes after Trump signs it. In the time between the Senate passing a bill and that bill going into effect, manufacturers can build a stock of inventory ready to roll on day 1. Pallets of suppressors, integrally suppressed firearms, and integrally suppressed uppers could be arriving at distributors within 48 hours.

That's my half way logic-based daydream, anyways.
