Quest 113 Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 Over here there's 40 state that you can own one. I've been interested in having one for my RUM but the cost is so high and the weight. Do you guys use them over there? No big deal if I don't get any replies to this it might be old news and I need to look up in search so Tata. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Born Hunter 17,965 Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 Not many rifles that don't have a moderator on over here. If the police are happy to grant a rifle then a mod is basically a formality. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
walshie 2,804 Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 I saw they are really expensive in the U.S. I hardly know anyone who shoots without one here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Quest 113 Posted December 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 Your right but the prices are high $1000.00 and up plus you've got the weight thing and then there's the length but even with all of that there's the benifits of not loosing your hearing.

Think the mod from memory was about £ 325 .. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DIDO.1 22,865 Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 I'm not a big rifle man....but all the rifles Iv handled have balanced perfect with a mod on...non felt over heavy or front heavy. Iv always liked heavy guns though I suppose. Are rifle barrels shorter over here to be more suitable for fitting a mod? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Quest 113 Posted December 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 Sweeeeeeeeet rig. I don't know if I can purchase one from over there? There might be some kind of government paper work to import here? If I could legally your price is way better than ours. Is there a Web site/name that's sell them over the web?

Haiddheliwr 1,911 Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 I have a Tikka T3 and although it has a thread cut for a mod have never used one myself! It is a total fox shooting rifle and to be honest suits me, just my opinion though! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BGD 6,437 Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 Isn't the high price of silencers over there due to the tax stamp you need because it's an "NFA" item? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kanny 21,758 Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 (edited) Looks like you have a $200 tax on top to pay over there ...don't quote me but I don't think you can import one unless its comes factory fitted to a rifle ....and you mock our tv license lol http://bulletin.accurateshooter.com/2013/09/silencer-facts-39-states-now-allow-sound-suppressor-ownership/ Edited December 5, 2016 by kanny Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Quest 113 Posted December 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 (edited) It's crazy you can't make this stuff up. Your probably right about the tax. Knowing my luck I can't order one from your side of the pond if I wanted to. Edited December 6, 2016 by Quest Quote Link to post Share on other sites
