Yep. In Oregon and throughout the USA where legal by state gov, a silencer, (also known as a "can") is the same legally as a short barrel rifle or machine gun. Slightly different paper work. Same long FBI back ground check time. Sometimes one year.

Picture and fingerprints necessary. A $200 Federal BATFE tax stamp required for possession. Lots of Forums dealing with silencers. Once you shoot a very noisy gun with a can you will NOT want to shoot that gun again without a can. Hearing protection.

All Oregon State Laws, US Code Laws And NFA Rules Apply. This means cans are legal in Oregon. Your laws may greatly vary.

I prefer the correct term...."suppressor". "Silencer" is so 1950's Hollywood.

Serious question though.......what does the NFA paperwork call them? Inquiring minds would like to know.

Google is your friend on something like this.

Can you pass a background check? If that's a yes, then all you need is money and time, plus a threaded barrel to hang one on.
Find a local gun shop that sells them and they will help you out.

If you're a criminal, no.
If you're a law-abiding citizen, yes, you must.
If you're a troll, you need to register with the ministry of magic -- oh, and watch out for those underage Wizards stuffing wands up your nostrils.

And wait up to a year to get your license.

Surely there's a gun show loophole. Where I can just walk in and pay and walk out with one. Odumbo said so, it must be true.

Yep it's where the Chicongo gangsters buy them.

The correct term is silencer.
See the patent any of the early patents:
Patent US1482805 - Silencer for guns

You will also never see the term 'suppressor' on a Form 4 or in the NFA making Silencer the correct legal term.

Thank you.....learn something new every day.

LOTS of info on the net. Silencers/suppressors are an NFA regulated item and require a tax stamp and proper documentation submitted to the BATFE. Google search how to lawfully obtain and own one. Or stop by a reputable LGS that sells them. They will help you through the process and paperwork.

Enough said here. Thread closed.
