Just to clarify.....I've never hunted game, never hunted for sport and certainly wouldnt ever consider eating anything I've ever shot at.

I have one 30 cal suppressor and use it for hunting. Shooting subsonic ammo isn't a real option for hunting. The lack of energy and killing power is reduced to a good old .45. The main reason to have a suppressor is so that my hearing will stay around for a couple more years. The biggest benefit is for my SBR rifles. Both of them are ungodly loud and without a suppressor they very dangerous.

I purchased as a gift two more suppressors for my nephews and they are waiting on the NFA to come back. I thought that if my father would have done this for me back in the day my hearing wouldn't be so bad off today.

Btw why are yall not out hunting today?  :aok

Work, and the fact that its' too warm yet for the ducks/geese to come over our state. I'm waiting until TG to do my annual hunting trip.

Then I'm going to make some wild turkey jerky (we'll take a couple toms I hope) and ship it to Swoop since he can't eat anything HE shoots but he could eat something *I* shot. :D

Well you can practice and dial in your skills until its time to go out in the field. For me its almost as fun. I enjoy some good range time.


I am pretty sure that in Britain only the super rich and royalty hunt anymore.

Oh hell, I'm at the range 4 times a month, every Fri or Sat. Too much in fact for not loading my own!

I got my S&W M&P 15 sport on the 10th of this month. FFL fee +2 PMAGS, single poing harness w/ adapter, quad rail, angled fore grip a 1x4-28mm Barska scope a 2 gun case and 100 rounds of whitebox for $833. I think I did pretty good

Nef, not that I'm interested but what does it take to get a Class 3 license?
I see some pretty cool old stuff up for auction at auction sites like RIA but some require a Class 3 license...

Going Incorporated is also a good method. All you have to do is pay the taxes on the corporation every year added bonus that anyone on the Corporate paperwork can have the property in their possession or order new Class 3 Items with out facing criminal charges.

Nice! I looked at those, as I said in the original post.
Let us know how you like it, my oldest son is considering one of those (it's in his price range)

10thMD, that's certainly an interesting.
