Ok dumb suppressor question for today
Is there a suppressor out there that can work on 5.56 and 22 LR.
Just to make sure I under stand the rules on this. If i get a suppressor I can put it on any gun I own. Given that its the correct calbier. |

Any .223/5.56 can will work for 22 lr. The problem is that rimfire ammo will gunk your nice 5.56 can up. Most silencer lovers will buy a dedicated rimfire can.
And yes... you can put your can on whatever it's capable of mounting to. |

5.56 cans typically don't break down for cleaning. A good portion of .22rf cans do break down and the baffles can be cleaned by the owner. Lead deposits very quickly in rimfire cans, and since returning the cans to a servicing dealer or manufacturer costs $,hassle and shooting downtime, a breakdown can is nice to have. Popping a rimfire can open and scrubbing it with Hoppes costs very little $.

Yup, anything strong enough for .223 is going to be too heavy for 22 rimfire. Add to that the leading problem. Get a good dedicated can for each one.

This may be off topic, but are suppressors allowed for just anyone? or do you have to have a tax stamp? also, is there a difference between a silencer and a suppressor?

The tax stamp is basically a receipt showing you paid the $200 NFA "sales tax". You fill out the Form 4, send it in with the finger print cards and stuff, the ATF approves the Form 4 and applies the stamp to one of the Form 4's, and sends it back to your SOT. Once the SOT has the approved Form 4 you can then go take possession of the NFA item and your Form 4. Remember, a Form 4 is legally a tax document. Quote:

Silencer guys call them SILENCERs.
Check out Silencertalk.com and that Silencertesting site that Titsworth runs. |

Motorcycle riders call their exhaust systems silencers also, as do industrial pneumatic tool companies on the exhaust of their tools.
I have no idea why the armchair operators in this industry get upset with the term, it is the industry std. description. |

Regarding silencer v suppressor.....
Yes, there is a difference. I can't fit "suppressor" in the tiny little box on the form.
