Say you want a suppressor.....

[Clay]

and you want to go about it legally.

What do you do to get it attached to your rifle/handgun/etc?

Example: ar-15s have a threaded barrel, do suppressors come with this same thread for the ARs?

Reason I ask, is if I want a suppressor for one of my firearms, what do people typically do when they do not have a threaded barrel, like most handguns Im familiar with.

thanks!

First, pick which firearm type and caliber you want to suppress.

For example, Lone Wolf Dist. sells threaded barrels for most Glock models.

If you are wanting to suppress a rifle that does not have a threaded barrel, you will need to send it to a qualified gunsmith.


eta: Read this entirely about the actual purchasing procedure.

Gemtech and Tornado Technologies will both thread pistol barels for you. General cost to thread barrel, move front sight back and make thread protector is $125. This will give you something to compare against new barrel costs.
