You can create a trust and register the suppressor to the trust so that everyone in the trust can possess the suppressor. I don’t keep up with the law on suppressors. There have been changes to the process recently.
This is why I use the airguns. They can be suppressed without Federal approval. Firing a properly suppressed airgun sounds like a click for the smaller caliber guns and a limb snap for the larger guns.
I am considering getting a firearm suppressor, but I don’t really want it for hunting. I’d like to have one for home defense.

I have a suppressor on a dedicated hog/home defense rifle. I have a trust set up, and anyone in the trust can use it. I keep the paperwork in the grip handle. I don't see why you couldn't do the same for members of the club. I will say it takes several months to get the paperwork processed, and everyone on the trust has to get fingerprinted and background checked. I have heard it is quicker now that it is all electronic, but still a pain. It is definitely quieter, but I have the suppressor on an AR rifle, and the action noise will still be enough to scare hogs.

My father has a suppressor on a 300 BO in bolt action. If you get a breeze in your face and with 100 yds, you can kill multiple pigs without spoiling them from the sound of the shot. I’ve done it. They may run a few feet when their buddy goes to kicking but they usually settle right down. It’s a good tool for the job.

I agree, a suppressor on a bolt action would be a better set up. Particularly if you go 300 BO subsonic with the suppressor.

Took down all our traps last year because there was no way to trap a hog with the bear population we have. Yes......we use the dogs. But....out of respect and care for the guys who lease the land to hunt on we do not run them during hunting season, except with rare exception. This leaves a whole lot of time for the hogs to do their multiplying thing. Especially as as we are adjacent to 6000 acres of WMD land. My thought was to buy the thing and offer its use, along with possibly some sort light setup, to some of the members as a way to induce a little shooting at night. If WMD is not controlling them on their land, then you will never have much success controlling them on yours. They will keep coming. Sometimes if you shot a few they will leave for a while, but as you know the process will start all over. Hunting at night with a 22 or crossbow my help, but you have to have members or friends willing to hunt them. My experience is that most deer hunters don't want to invest the time it takes to control hogs. |

You can do what you want. You would need to do a trust instead of an individual. All it takes is a tax stamp $200. Now every individual will have to apply at this time. All must pass a Federal background test. Once this is completed. It will take longer because of the additional background checks, fingerprints, and pictures. There are alot of kiosks available to do this conveniently. Once done any on the trust may use the suppresor. Also if done as an individual it cannot be passed on, only turned in. I have no idea if trusts can be altered after purchase. But this would be your option.

Maybe invite the swat team out, Night shooting practice from 9-3?
The paperwork sounds like a big headache.

The paperwork is pretty simple and completely worth it. I have multiple suppressors and SBRs in a variety of calibers. I also have an adapter so I can toss one of them on my 6.5 Weatherby. All fun to shoot and none require ear protection when shooting subsonic rounds.

My favorite gun for potentially using a suppressor doesn’t have a threaded barrel and I don’t trust a gunsmith to touch the crown of that gun. I have heard of people using slip on adapters, but I’ve generally also heard that’s a bad idea. I do have a 16” .308 AR that might benefit from a suppressor. It shoots well, but that short barrel gives it a terrible recoil. And when I’ve used a muzzle break, it funnels the energy of the discharge back into my chest. It may handle much better with a large suppressor. |

Some good some bad information here, I own one and am local to Jax i'd suggest going to see Preston at Recon Rifleworks in Orange Park he will walk you through everything. You will need a trust with everyone on it that wants to use it, personally there is no way I would get one and put "strangers" ( i know club members but still...) on a trust with me for a Form 4 suppressor. Everyone has to do fingerprints and have background checks completed, $200 tax stamp plus price of suppressor $600-1200 plus mounting devices on firearms. Average wait has been 240 days some less some more, ive seen them approved in a week ive seen them approved in 400 days there is no rhyme or reason to the madness and the ONLY way to get one expedited approval is if you are military and get PCS orders, anyone that tells you otherwise is a liar.
5.56 suppressed sounds like a .22
300 black out is your quietest option besides a .22 especially with subsonics.
