suppressors legal in MN how about some options.

I am looking to pick up my first one for my AR in 5.56 anyone have some opinions on the options out there and what to look for and or avoid?

The Sheriff's son sells these and swears by them.

SilencerCo sure has an amazing reputation. Id try them... That's where I want to start.

Thanks GD, they are definitely in the running.

I have an Osprey and Sparrow from Silencerco. Love them both.

Ops Inc

Just heard about these guys the other day. Prices look pretty good, especially for titanium, and their QD system is proprietary as well. Haven't seen anything review wise though, I think they JUST hit the market.

Oh wait... Need to actually post the link...

I hate foruming from my phone, DERP

I love how all the arm chair "operators" get flustered when you call a suppressor a silencer, yet Silencerco and the rest use it in their marketing. Relax

I guess silencer is just a play on silent er.

Can you guys talk louder please, I'm a long time shooter of un-silenced/non-suppressed firearms.

In a rational world, a suppressed firearm would be the norm and you would need special permission to operate without one. Think of cars and their mufflers.

Mastiff has a point, except for the "rational" Part...


Greaser, ever thought of building your own can?

Thanks for the Ideas guys.

Very true Mastiff sad but true.

ECF I am really thinking about it I have a wix fuel filter staring at me right now.

lolol... just put a serial number on it and fill out a form 1, wait a few months, and it'll be the cheapest suppressor you could get.

I joke with my buddy who owns an OSS can for his AR that I could build one for the price he paid for his tax stamp, lol

With the prices of tax stamps, I buy the best suppressor I can afford. Yes, I can build a decent one for a mere fraction of the cost, but I want the best performance if I'm paying an extra $200 per.

You can always build your own and ignore getting a stamp, but you seemed to be concerned with following the law. Paying $200 for a stamp and then building a less than pro-level suppressor just seems ... a waste.

JJ makes a good point for quality

Yep. You can make a great can if you have access to mills, lathes, and proper tooling and stock. Id personally just buy one. As a machinist I can tell you that somebody had already has the engineering done, prints done, perfected the machining processes And will warranty their work...

This is true but if I serial the end cap then everything else could be replaced/upgraded later unlike most cans.

JJ I like you have and still work for uncle Sam and a weapons violation would negate my entire adult life. Hence the caring about the law.

Silencerco serial numbers the tubes, so the baffles can be replaced with the latest designs.

SilencerCo just keeps sounding better and better.

Was talking to the Local Conservation agent (kritter Kop) and found out you can hunt with a suppressor in Missouri, but NO full auto weapons. ALSO found out from him that there is a local guy that builds suppressors and the game warden says they are nice. He shot one in .308 and said it is sweet.

May have to check this guy out, once I get his name and number again.

Huntertown Arms has a great warranty, against anything other than stupid...

believe it, they replaced the entire suppressor after this, at no cost to the owner.

They're also inexpensive. I would say go with Silencerco if you have the money. I want an Osprey myself for my SLR. But if that's not in the budget, a Huntertown Arms may be the way to go. My first can will be one of theirs in 9mm

I guess I need to get out the 1022 and have the barrel threaded for 1/2X28! Then pay a visit to the Sheriff's son (he sell s Huntertown arms suppressors) or the local guy that makes suppressors.

Oh but I STILL want to get a 22/45.

Awesome, Thanks for the info guys. I will let you know when I get mine.
