I want to get a suppressor in the near future, but first of all, i'm 19...I was wondering, you know how a parent can buy a gun and then sign it over to a minor if he/she is under 18 as a gift? can you do that with a suppressor? i understand that it would take a long time for the paperwork, but is it legal to do?

Also, I have a 16"bbl m4gery, but i don't want the suppressor to be too long off the end of the barrel, is there one that looks short and works effectivly? maybe goes over the end of the barrel like the ops inc? also, do you guys have any pics? i looked through the pic thread, but didn't see anything that i liked. or was what i was looking for.

Thanks guys!

Can you do that with a suppressor?  No.

There was a thread recently by a 19-year old.  He was able to purchase a suppressor, and was approved by the ATF.  Not sure of his forum name.  Someone will probably come along with that info.

i know about that, he found someone that wanted to sell a used one...turns out, as a 19 year old, i can buy one from another individual, or build one, just not buy one from a dealer...lame, i know.

Check out HTGsilencers.com.  I just got a can from them after doing a good bit of research.  They make the smallest and most efficient supressors available and the quality appears to be top notch.  They have a can that is about the same size as a krink type FS.

You might be able to form a trust with you, and your father as the trustees, and use someone else as the beneficiaries.  He could fill out the citizenship form.

Or he could form the trust himself, then add you later.

I went the corp route w/ the family business so my father & I could both have access to the suppressors we bought.

The latest stuff I did, I went the trust route so my own son could inherit the stuff without the $200 transfer tax per item. He's only 7 - you gota plan ahead!
I wish I'd done the trust with the first three.

PS..............I'm not a lawyer, just a guy..........

if i got a 14.5 inch barrel, and then pinned the surefire flash hider/suppressor attacher thingy on, would it be over 16"?

Sorry about all the questions...

You could form a corp where you and your father are officers (and anyone else you wish who is free of felonies/other disqualiying criteria and 18 or older), or you could form a shared trust with your father where you are both co-grantors and co-trustees (trustee being the key word here---trustee = possession).
