Yesterday evening:  This morning:  I've seen dozens of squirrels and they are cutting on hickory trees something fierce right now, but the dense leaf cover is making it difficult to get clean shots. If I was packing a shotgun, I'd have gotten my limit both days. LOL! |

Good shooting there M4.. Does it take a permit for a suppressor? How do you apply for one? Also was wandering what round is everybody using in their rim-fires ?

Good shooting there M4.. Does it take a permit for a suppressor? How do you apply for one? Also was wandering what round is everybody using in their rim-fires ? It's not really a permit, per se. To begin the process, you simply visit a Class 3 dealer's shop and purchase a suppressor. The dealer is required by law to keep possession of the suppressor until your approved paperwork comes back. Everything is done in duplicate, so the dealer will provide you with two Form 4's and two fingerprint cards. You'll need to take these to the chief law enforcement officer (CLEO) in your area -- either the Chief of Police or Sheriff, depending on where you live. The CLEO will sign your Form 4's and you will be fingerprinted. You then attach a passport photo to each Form 4. Most dealers will mail the completed paperwork in to the BATF for you, so return it to them along with a $200 one-time check or money order (NFA tax), then wait probably 6 months for the paperwork to be approved. You can form a corporation or trust solely for NFA purchases (suppressors, machineguns, etc.), and you will be exempt from the CLEO signature, fingerprints, and photos. I believe that the turnaround time is halved as well. i refuse to pay as much in a tax as a suppressor costs. I have better things to spend $200 on. Drop the BS tax and Ill be all in I agree, and wish that the tax would be done away with. The purpose of the NFA tax, which was instituted in 1934, was to set the tax high enough so that the average person could not afford the luxury of paying it in order to buy an NFA item. Thankfully, the tax has never increased with inflation, or we'd be paying thousands of dollars. |

I would like to have one for plinking with my .22 more than anything, but it just doesn't seem to be worth the trouble..

It's really not too bad an ordeal. Lawrence County's Sheriff has no problem signing the forms, and you can get a full sheet of "passport" photos taken at CVS drug store. You have three Class 3 dealers within 45 minutes or so -- Acme Sports in Seymour, 96 Tactical in Avoca, and Harder's Gun Shop in Shoals. |

I am using a .22 pre-charged pneumatic pellet gun w/shrouded barrel. I shot five greys last Saturday and all were within 50 yards of each other and all in trees that had multiple squirrels. The pellet to the noggin is louder than the gun itself. My gun will get 70 shots per fill of air and uses a 14 shot magazine.
While I spent a considerable amount on mine, I have a friend that uses a Benjamin Marauder pellet gun. He shot well over 100 last year. Air gun hunting is a blast and is really becoming popular. As an added bonus, most of them are "backyard friendly" and can be enjoyed year round.

I have a .177 Gamo that I've killed a few with.. With the pre-charged pneumatic, do all 70 shots have the same punch, or do they start slowing down as you run out of air? I remember as a kid, that's how the CO2 bb guns worked...

My air gun is regulated, which means that it is equipped to produce an optimum amount of shots with minimal difference in feet per second. Once the pressure drops below the regulated amount, power drops like a rock.

I have suppressors - and in Lafayette the turnaround on my ATF paperwork on my last one was 34 days. The dealer called me and asked if I was related to someone in the ATF, the FBI or maybe a senator or something...lol
It is a tax - in other words - you are being punished for something someone else has done before you. I just take it all in stride.
But there is an alternative....you can go into E-Bay and for $10-$30 you can get what is called a SOLVENT TRAP OIL FILTER ADAPTER. It attaches to the muzzle of a rifle or pistol to catch the solvent that runs out of your barrel during cleaning inside a regular oil filter so you can reuse the solvent.
This is a machined piece of steel (usually stainless) that will thread onto the muzzle of a rifle (same thread pitch as an AR-15 and all 22's currently produced with threaded muzzles (1/2-28) and this will allow you to attach a common oil filter to your weapon. This device and it's use can be viewed in YouTube videos.
Keep in mind that using it to attach an oil filter to a firearm for use as a suppressor is illegal unless the adapter is registered as an NFA item and the $200 tax is paid. Just saying...in case you wondered.

That is a sweet looking gun! If I were rich, I'd get at least one of them. :-)

Frozen juice can and black electricians tape worked very well, about thirty years ago. Probably would today. Might have to find a different product for the can these days, tho. Do they still sell frozen juice in those skinny aluminum cans?
