Removing Short Barreled Rifles/Shotguns from the NFA (Short Act) is back into the BBB!

Most suppressors bring the sound down to 130-135dB. That's still pretty loud

You should have said there are few suppressors that give movie level reductions in sound level, but MOST suppressors today drop the dB down to hearing safe levels. At least for the person behind it.

I regularly shoot 7.62x51 NATO out of multiple platforms, with a Yankee Hill titanium suppressor, and don't need hearing protection.

YHM .30cal suppressors reduce to 135-137db per their website.

You may shoot it that way. But its not hearing safe.

About the only "Hollywood Quiet" you are gonna get with a can is with a .22. bolt action.

Behind it you don't really notice it. In front or to the side, and you do.

I have a OSS High Standard that is incredibly quiet.

I hope you've replaced the recoil springs. HSs are spring killers.

Suppressors are great for improving accuracy in close....and it makes it better for home defense....cuz shooting your weapon without hearing protection won't make you lose your hearing.

It's a safety issue after all. No PPE needed.

Suppressors reduce the decibels that damage hearing and should have never been band. The only reasons they were originally banned was because of animal poachers and the ignorant who equated suppressors with what they saw in movies, which wasn't real.

I'm still running the original springs. But I only use Standard Velocity ammo through it.

New springs (about $12.00 from Wolf) are dirt cheap insurance. SV is all that should be fired with the older HSs.

Yup, but I don't shoot it much anyway, and I like to keep truly historical weapons as original as possible, and I don't shoot them very much anyway. About the only thing I have done on a consistent basis is run a 1928 actuator in my 1921 Colt Thompson. I keep the 1921 in the box.

The warrant that justified the invasion of the legendary Ruby Ridge debacle was based on the Feds hiring a fast talking informant to convince amateur gunsmith and former Green Beret Randy Weaver to be a federal informant.

Looks like HPA and SHORT act were rejected by the parliamentarian

Well so much for that. They could actually get off their butts and pass it as normal legislation. Yea I know I am when pigs fly.

There were only a very few provisions of the Big Bulbous Bill that kept it from being a total catastrophe. They’ve been removed.
