If you were not going to add to the thread why would you post? Maybe this is a rifle that he will never sale. So would that not negate your idiotic argument or it will ruin the resale value?
I would also go to your local smith and see what they say. Maybe he has a line on one that would be a lower cost for you to put on. You know what else would help a suppressor if you wanted to jump through the hoops. Quiet and reduced recoil.
