Anyone know of any plans for US parts kits so it could be suppressed? Mine is just begging for a nice can. |
Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you tax stamp it as an NFA weapon (supressor, SBR), you don't need the US parts count. I thought NFA negated 922 regs. |
bump. |
Putting a can on it won't make the gun an NFA registered weapon. Only the can is taxed and registered. You can put the can on as many different guns as it will fit. |
Your right there, I'm thinking of short barrelling....which I believe would make the parts count a non-issue. |
So, could you SBR it, then suppress it? |
|
Well, if you leave the original barrel length and thread it, then you don't have to do anything as far as the gun. Get the supressor on the tax stamp. If you shorten the barrel (less than 16"), then you would have to SBR the rifle and tax stamp it, too. I think I might get a CX4 and get a can for it.... |

Doesn;t beretta have a plant here in the states that they make them at?? also I don't believe the import ban qualifies for this because the detachable magazine is not outside the pistol grip, also if the storm were effected by the import ban theyy wouldn't be able to import it as the BATFE considers a thumbhole stock to be a pistolgrip stock IIRC. So check on that and seeif it even falls under the import ban. |

Call up Beretta and ask what the parts count is. They should know (they were on the ball with the whole magazines after the ban thing). If it's an "import gun" then SBR it and thread it. NFA negates the sporting purpose clause and you'll be able to mount the can. |
Dunno about the rest, but the Storm is 100% imported, according to the Beretta rep I talked to. |
Than it doesn't fall under the import ban for one reason or another, and I'm guessing that it;s because the magazine is not outside the poistol grip. |
I've bumped my Storm and it's incredibly fast and mild to shoot. A couple times I got it to go from my shoulder and it was indeed very controllable. It makes you REALLY want it to have a happy switch. |
