John's Gun's Suppressors ??

[IndianasFinest]

My local class III dealer has some of these in stock for a pretty reasonable price. He says they are on par with Gemtech. Anybody out there have any input or ideas on this ? I was wanting one in .22 for my Ruger 10/22, and Walther P22. Thanks in advance !

I have no direct experience, but I have heard from other owners that they are good cans.

What's the price?

$249.99

IMHO he does some of the best work out there...

They have something along the lines of USP .45??

+1 Although I have no direct experience, I believe he is more of a small custom shop rather than bigger, defined product areas. I do know that he makes a pretty popular integrally suppressed Ruger .22 pistol.

I have a suppressed Ruger 77/44 from John. Very nice rifle. Accurate, well finished and rugged. It has been my deer rifle for the past 6 years and has held up very well internally to a lot of .44spl and .44mag loads. I only wish he still made them.

What state allows you to use a can on a deer rifle?

 

[Lakefield22]

Um, Wisconsin for sure and I believe Kentucky.

Sweeeet!

Suppressed (silencers) Firearms: Is it legal to hunt with a suppressed firearm?

That depends. The short answer is Yes…..if the hunter possesses a class III federal firearms license to own such devices. The use of a suppressed firearm (silencers) for hunting is illegal for anyone that does not possess such a federal license.

Wisconsin law does not prohibit the use of a class three suppressed weapon for hunting. Federal Law controls the legal possession and use of a class three suppressed weapon. The individual and weapon must have proper verification and certification of compliance from the Department of the Treasury, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. If the individual complies with all requirements of Wisconsin law, Wisconsin hunting regulations and Federal Law he may hunt with a class three suppressed weapon.

The DNR's own FAQ in Wisconsin on silencers. The DNR was kind of freaked the first time they spotted my friend and hunting with suppressors, I had my Ruger and he had an AR (no mag restrictions either). They made a quick phone call to check and gave us the go ahead.

I've talked to F&G in Kentucky and they said there is no law prohibiting it there either, however I have not done a search myself on this yet.

Hmmm.... still trying to wrap my mind around that. As its not a license to own one, its a tax stamp. The way I read this is that you can't possess one unless you are an SOT FFL.

Not in Indiana, read the 2009 Hunting Guide, if you don't believe the guide, call your District Headquarters for your area, phone number listed in guide.

John's Guns

I have a John's guns integrally suppressed 77/44 in 44 magnum and it shoots like a benchrest rifle. With 9.0 grains of Trail Boss and a 250 gr Sierra Tournement bullet, 100 yard groups are less than 1". Velocity is around 1000 fps and recoil is less than a 22LR. Quieter than my pellet gun. I didn't know they were out of business. I just sent my 77/44 back to them last year to have the new "K" baffles installed and they were able to return my gun in 2 weeks. Great people and great products.

 

[yotewacker]

I have one of Johns also. He makes alot for the military. I think they are the finest by far. They are quieter than any others

 

[yotewacker]

Johns phone number is 325.382.4885. Ask for Brent

 

[IDCC]

My Local Class III (Harders) sells them. He has a Walther P22/Johns Guns suppressor/Insight light laser combo that is extremely affordable even with the tax stamp. A couple of local folks have the suppressed 77/44's.

Need to contact Rick983 with question.

I have an older John's Gun with the washer/spacer set up. I put a weigland base on it, but do not care much for it. Additionally, I have a US Optics SN4 1-6 scope sitting at the house to mount on the rifle.

What kind of rings are you using, and for what size objective.

Did the newer K-baffles reduce the sound much, increase accuracy, enhance the preformance of the rifle???

I am having good luck with HP-38 with a 240g XTP but the velocity is slow (850-900fps).
