I have a few questions

1. What is the difference between silencers and supperssors? No difference

2. What is the process to own one in PA best way is to contact your local dealer

3. I heard of a trust established to own one, can someone explain this process? One of the requirements is that your local police approve your application for this items, in areas where the police do not approve then either by using a legal trust or a corporation this avoids the police approval requirement.

4. Does anyone have any pics they could share, especially on a SIg? google the Sig forum, plenty of pics on line.

5. How long is the process and what may be the expenses in PA? Around 3 months, cost of a threaded barrel, cost of the silencer, cost of your dealer's fees, and one time $200 tax to register it with the ATF since Sigs are kinda spendy expect a couple thousand for the entire process.

6. Are there any liabilities or issues for owning one especially in a home defense situation? Not if you don't commit crimes with it. There are plenty of Ninnys who say using an NFA weapon in legal defense situation causes one problems with the courts, but they never site any actual instances where this has happend.

THANKS!! Here are some PA dealers for you to shop with.
