I've been looking at it too 3spop.
As I understand it, you can buy them individually or as a trust.
Individually, you have to get the local LEO to sign off on your form.
As a trust, you don't need the LEO signoff. A trust can cost 200 -250 to setup. Some do it through Legal Zoom or Quicken. You also have to put one of your guns in the trust.
Either way, you buy the supressor from a dealer and pay 200 to ATF. Once the ATF clears you (months later) you can pick up your supressor.
MS Auto Arms in Oxford stocks supressors and can help with the Trust if you go that route. They are close to me so that is probably where I'll get mine.
There are other members of this forum in Central and South MS who can help with dealer suggestions as well.

Suppressors are freaking awesome...That is the scoop. They are not hard to get, but you do have to jump through a few hoops and wait awhile on the ATF. The how much is dependent on what you are trying to suppress. It can range from about $200 to about $5,000. Plus a $200 donation to the tax stamp fund. There are a few people on this board that can help you get a can, including me. I would highly recommend that you go try out a few brands as well as calibers and see what works best for your setup. If you can wait until June go to Memphis and look around.3spop said:

Call Mike at Smith's Speed Shop, he knows everything about 'em and may have a few in stock. I got mine from Mike, he's a good guy to deal with.

Suppressors are awesome. I got into them just last year and bought my first through Mississippi Auto Arms in Oxford. They were very helpful in walking me through the process. I went the trust route and the process was about two months start to finish.
Based on the recommendations of others I started with a .22 suppressor and I think it's good advice. I'm waiting on a 9mm suppressor right now, but a .22 can is fun, really quiet, and of course cheap to feed. I strongly recommend selecting a take-apart .22 can if you buy one, though. Some suppressors can be taken apart for cleaning and others can't. .22 suppressors get filthy, fill up with a mixture of molten lead and baked-on carbon, and then stop working. Cleaning the stuff off is like nothing I've ever done before. The only way I was able to clean the internals of my silencer was by buying a bead blasting cabinet and an air compressor and blasting the crap off with glass beads. If the suppressor is stainless steel and/or titanium it can be immersed in a solution known colloquially as "the dip" to clean. The dip dissolves lead, but the resulting mixture is a nasty lead salt that can be very dangerous and I'm just not comfortable handling something like that.
I lurk a lot over at silencerresearch.com. The site includes unbiased tests and reviews of suppressors and a lot of good information. To access the reviews costs like $30, but it has saved me from buying a noisy suppressor, so to me it's been worth it.

.22 can $200 to $350 depending on the brand and $200 to the atf. .30 cal can $600 to $1000 depending on the can and the same check to the ATF.

Some. 22 pistols come threaded like the walther p22 and the Sig mosquito. On the rifles you can buy a threaded barrel or have your barrel threaded. I am not sure about a compression fitting, never seen one of those. Most .22 cans thread on. Most of the larger cans either thread on or have a quick disconnect mechanism.

savage cz and a few others come pre treaded, if I amnot mistaken ruger does some now also. I belive cz requires a thread adapter to convert it to 1/2x28tpiDock Rocker said:

$200 to set up my trust, $200 for the NFA tax, $500ish for the suppressor (SWR Spectre).
I run mine on a Sig Mosquito and a Sig 522. The Mosquito needed to be the threaded model and the 522 comes with a threaded barrel and a flash hider - just remove the flash hider and screw on the can. The 522 is awesome and the Mosquito is... meh, okay.

I have done quite a few transfers, I suggest going the individual route if your cleo will signoff. Find a ffl with sot, purchase item and then do paperwork and wait! Paperwork is basic, fill out 2 form 's, 2 sets of finger print cards and a citizenship form. Attach 2 passport photos to form 4's, get fingerprinted send to atf with a check for $200. Same goes if you want to manufacture a suppressor,sbs,sbr,dd,or aow, except you fill out 2 form 1's

Not disagreeing with Titleiiredneck, but I have had a different experience. I put together a trust, didnt have to worry about pic's or LEO sign off. I have the flexibility of letting my brother / Trustee use my class 3 items while I am not around, and once the trust is in place you can keep adding to it. Never have to worry about a different sheriff getting elected that dosent like class 3 stuff. Dont have to pay off walgreens to take my passport pics. I have done both with customers in the past, and I have found the trust rout easier on everyone.titleiiredneck said:

You stated almost verbatem what i was going to post, I know my local police chief wont sign off and i want my brother to be able to use the stuff too. Most likely all my stuff will be left to him anyway so that would make it much easier for him if something were to happen to me. He isnt 21 yet though, still 2 years to go for that. How much trouble is it to amend the trust later to ad him in?
