SUPPRESOR FOR 10/22 RUGER?

Question

Does anyone no where I can get a suppressor for my 10/22 ruger. I have a garden and I need to take care of some squirel problems. I just want something that is not so loud (neighbor problems). I live in northen nh.."live free or die"....what would I need to do contact the atf?

Answer 1

suppresors are illegal (in most us states )

just buy a pellet gun thats what my grandfather uses took down his 23rd squirel with it today

Answer 2

Instead of paying the ridiculous amount of money for a suppressor, just get some .22CB's. It is a type of .22 LR that has no gunpowder and is quieter than a BB gun.

You would want to get .22 CB Long rounds, and due to the lack of gunpowder, you will have to cycle the gun each round (does not generate enough pressure to push the bolt all the way back to eject and load a new round). Your 10/22 would be essentiall a bolt action.

I've used these before and they worked very well, definitley enough to kill a squirrel:

NH does allow civilian ownership of suppressors and they are legal under federal law in spite of what some people make up and post.  

Not familiar with your area, but Palmer Gunworks in Enfield, Triple Break Products in Merrimac, JLM & Sons in Manchester, Chester Arms in Chester, Granite State Firearms in Brentwood, and State Line Gunshop in Mason all sell suppressors.

Here is a short version of how to buy one:

To legally purchase a silencer or any item falling under the purview of the NFA, you must be at least 21 years of age, a resident of the United States, and have no felony record. The first step is to locate a Class 3 dealer in your state who either has or will order the item you are interested in. Once a product and price have been settled on, the Class 3 dealer will provide the prospective purchaser with duplicate ATF Form 4's and two sets of fingerprint cards. The Form 4's must be filled out on both sides, with passport photos of the prospective buyer affixed to the backside of the form. The buyer then has the Chief Law-Enforcement officer sign the rear of the Form 4's attesting the prospective purchaser does not possess a criminal record and is not wanted. The two fingerprint cards must be completed and signed by a Law Enforcement agency. The completed paperwork is then sent to the Department of the Treasury with a check or money order for $200.00. The $200.00 is known as a "transfer tax" because it must be paid whenever ownership of the silencer is "transferred" (in this case, the dealer to the prospective purchaser). As long as ownership remains with the same person, the tax need not be paid again. Only if the owner sells it will a new transfer tax need to be paid. An owner may will his silencer to a lawful heir with no tax incurred.

Once the paper work is submitted, it normally takes 60 to 120 days to receive the approved, stamped paperwork from the NFA Branch. It is only upon the return of the approved paperwork that the dealer can allow the prospective purchaser to take possession of their new silencer. A copy of the approved paperwork must accompany the silencer at all times (the original should be stored in a safe deposit box). Silencers can be transported to other states that allow their ownership, but to transport a silencer into one of the states which prohibit private ownership can subject the owner to serious state felony charges.

Gem-Tech and AAC are two companies that make good quality suppressors for .22 rifles and pistols.

Answer 5

umm i dont know how to put this but sound supressors are illegal. federal ban dude. it is alot safer just to get a BB gun or paintball gun or the old fashioned trap.

Answer 6

A suppressor may not be the answer.  You could still be liable for discharging a firearm within the city limits or where otherwise prohibited by city or county ordinance.  

If you care to go through the legalize of acquiring a suppressor be advised that it is even easier to do so legally than acquiring a fully automatic weapon.  But suppressors might not muffle the sound as much as you like.  You might have to load subsonic ammo in addition to the sound suppressor and your particular rifle might not cycle them.  You still have to worry about ricochets since you state you have neighbors.  So consider getting a pellet gun instead.
