5.0 out of 5 stars SILENCERS ARE NOT ILLEGAL!!!!, November 16, 2006

This review is from: How To Make A Silencer For A .22 (Paperback)

I am tired of reading all of those reviews who say silencers are illegal, they are NOT! You can get a permit for one (which is expensive and takes a couple months, and you must be photographed and fingerprinted) But you can do it. However, there are 16 states in which you cannot get a permit. those states are CA, IA, KS, MA, MO, and MI. If you live in one of those states and you want a silencer, MOVE! By the way, this is interesting... It is legal to own an M82A1 in every state EXCEPT california, where it is also illegal to own a silencer as stated in above list. I guess most liberals are against guns. Too bad for California residents who like guns.
Anyway, the book serves its purpose well, and as long as you live in AL, AR, AK, AZ, CO, CT, FL, GA, ID, IN, KY, LA, ME, MD, MS, MT, NE, ND, NV, NH, NM, NC, OH, OK, OR, PA, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VA, WA, WV, WI, or WY, then GET YOUR PERMIT and make a silencer. Or buy one if you are lazy.

5.0 out of 5 stars The .22lr is 850-1000 fps from pistol barrels, subsonic, March 18, 2005

speeds. In a .22 rifle, you can use special subsonic ammo. Consider that the author of these 3 "how-to" silencer books wrote them while he was actually serving Federal prison time for making silencers. They were typed on manual typewriters, while looking over his shoulder for snitches and guards. So the somewhat less-polished language and drawings are forgivable.

5.0 out of 5 stars From the real "A Customer", September 10, 2008

By 

SilencerGuru - See all my reviews

This review is from: How To Make A Silencer For A .22 (Paperback)

The previous "reviews" by "A Customer" were written by an IMPERSONATOR who is attempting to steer people away from the quality material. Under that name I have reviewed ONLY the titles Practical Firearm Suppressors and Military Grade Suppressors, all others are NOT from me. I have not read this title, but judging by the way my good fake name was used to trash this book it must be good.
