Interesting find.

[Rookie]

My wife and I recently bought a repo, and we are in the process of making it liveable. I was tearing out a room in the basement that was obviously used as a gun room (shelves were marked for cleaning supplies, round type, etc). As I'm tearing down a wall, I noticed that there was some foam at the top by the ceiling. I pulled it down and noticed a cylinder. I pulled it out and realized that I was holding a silencer that was attached to a 1911 style barrel. I dug around some more and found a silencer attached to a .22 barrel and a bag of baffles. I called the sheriff's department and they came and picked them up. Kinda wish I could have legally kept them...

I wish I would have thought of it, but I was nervous as all get out, because I don't necessarily trust police/prosecutors to act in my best interest. Would a copy of the police report work?

I almost came to the house to get a hold of VUPDblue to find out what I should do to cover my rear, but I ended up calling a friend who is a class three dealer.

It would be interesting to look at, that's for sure!

I ass-u-me these cans were obviously homemade/unpapered/illegal, rather than legit NFA items that the previous owner forgot about or abandoned?

I would of shot them then called the next day.

The police report would be cool to see.

I'm not completely sure. They had no serial numbers on them, but they looked very well made. The fact that they had no serial numbers on them made me think they weren't legal. I did find the previous owner's list of guns, complete with serial numbers and assumed value. He/she figured they had over $24,000 worth of guns. There was no mention of silencers though. The police did not get the list...

Believe me, the thought crossed my mind.

No serial numbers = Illegal.

Wow, that is a very interesting find; should have snapped pics!

At least you did the right thing, but I would have called my lawyer first - LOL.

 

[VUPDblue]

Are you seriously expecting us to believe that you found this cool stuff and you didn't take pics?

 

[chuckp]

Was there any markings of any kind on the suppressors?

I know, but pics weren't at the top of my "make sure I don't go to jail" list.

Previous owner is going to be p!$$ed.

Previous owner is going to be p!$.

The house was already seized, I'm sure that was the last of the worries, unless of course they track them down and nail them for the manufacture of illegal suppressors.

Then he'll be PISSED!
