Nonsense.Mobuck ...... An integrally suppressed gun(rifle or pistol) will have some restrictions on travel....
Again, FEDERAL law has no such restriction.Mobuck"Nonsense.
No Federal law or ATF regulation restricts interstate travel of a silencer or suppressor. Whether the silencer is integral has nothing to do with it.
Doesn't even need a Form 5320.20"
Depends on which state you might be traveling to.
Since you claimed "An integrally suppressed gun(rifle or pistol) will have some restrictions on travel".......tell us what states differentiate between an integral silencer and one that is removable.
I had a groundhog problem. ...I now have 26 hosts, pistols and rifles.

Tom, as you may have gleaned from his original explanation simply removing the suppressor from the end of a threaded barrel leaves the 10/22 as loud as an unsuppressed 10/22, because that's what it is. An integrally suppressed 10/22 can have the baffles removed from the barrel, but the cap itself might make the rifle quieter even if one's intent is to un-suppress the rifle. It might not be circumspect to assume that every state will rely on one's intent to comply with local law where one doesn't successfully comply.
Hope that helps.
In a rifle, an integral silencer results in a shorter firearm. I have a 10/22 with a 16" barrel (8" rifled, the remainder of the bbl "tube" is the silencer). Using a 10/22 with a removable silencer means your 10/22 is going to be 5"-8" longer than mine.weblance ....The only difference, that Mark II looked like a regular long barrel pistol. It didn't attract any attention. Good, or bad, that's the only difference I see to an integral.
Never seen an integral silencer that couldn't be cleaned at home. Mine is.It also was getting ready to go back to the manufacturer to be cleaned. I clean mine easily at home.
dogtown tom said:He [Mobuck] claims an integrally suppressed rifle is restricted differently than one with a removable can.
Mobuck said:The plus side is the rifle [with a threaded barrel] is still legal to use as original. An integrally suppressed gun(rifle or pistol) will have some restrictions on travel.
dogtown tom said:Most certainly that is not true under Federal law and I'm asking him to provide a citation to a state law that makes such a distinction.
dogtown tom said:Removing the baffles from an integrally silenced rifle results in.........a silencer without baffles. Any part of a silencer is considered a silencer by itself. Removing baffles doesn't change the legality of any silencer.

Using a removable silencer and you are looking at two stamps to get that short, one for the silencer, another for your SBR 10/22.
Another benefit is the increased volume of an integral silencer.....making a quieter report.

"...A friendly cop suggested..." Who was counselling the guy to commit a crime. That being a crime itself in most places. So is discharging a firearm(that usually includes air guns but check local ordinances.).
