What is the purpose of these things and why would you buy one?

Some people think they look cool. Namely mall ninjas.

It's just for the looks, but it would piss me off having it look like that but still be loud as ****.

CrtsHarris · Jan 27, 2013

I would be embarrassed to have one on my weapon at the range and someone asking me what it was for. How stupid!!

Didn't know they were for airsoft too, that's ok. But on an AR? Why not get the real thing?

$200 permit and the hassle of what goes with it.
I always wondered, WHY? Yeah with subs, it can be shot w/o hearing protection.
Now that it's legal for hunting, I'm really interested.

Do you have to have a permit for every silencer? And every short barrel?

Faux Fake Mock????

Some guys are fans of having guns look like military issue stuff. This accomplishes that without paying $400 in stamps and asking permission from the feds. Or maybe if you live in a state that doesn't allow suppressors or SBR's.

I think its goofy myself.

$200 tax stamp for each and a form for each.

Beer and cigars.

I believe that's correct.

I thought it was a one time only tax stamp then you could have as many can's as you wanted?

You have to have a stamp for each NFA item that has a serial number. For example, one stamp for an SBR lower and one stamp for a supressor. The stamps are tied directly to the item and not a license of any sort.

and a 6 month wait for each item too.
