Can A Silencer Be Fitted To A Luger

cirelaw · 03-18-2014, 09:01 PM

I came across the Picture in Luger At Random and wondered about the possiblity ~~~Eric

Of course.

Install barrel, apply for tax stamp, get approved then get suppresser. Problem with a suppresser is it will close range as the low profile sights on the luger will not be usable.

Here's one all set to go (minus the suppressor) http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/Vie...Item=398595083 . You could buy it and have the dealer hold it until paperwork is completed?

cirelaw · 03-19-2014, 08:22 AM

Beautiful, About how long does the paper work take?

gunbugs · 03-19-2014, 04:09 PM

Turn around time on a Form 4 transfer is about 10 months these days. Just do it, then go on with your life and eventually your paperwork clears.

cirelaw · 03-19-2014, 04:23 PM

Thats good advice! Eric

George Anderson · 03-19-2014, 04:26 PM

Eric, you're chasing a rabbit that will turn around and bite you.

Not necessary...the gun is legal as long as you don't have the silencer. Buy the gun, the apply for the silencer license!

Hugh · 03-22-2014, 05:54 PM

I thought about getting a suppressor for my Ruger 10-22,

but then thought nooooo....

too much fun listening to it spit those little lead babies out!!!

Wait, where the heck did you find that 10/22 dress up kit? and only if said drum was as reliable as it looks

Ron Wood · 03-22-2014, 11:08 PM

Hey Hugh...I got one of those too! But they ran out of the finned barrel before I got mine ordered so I am still waiting around to dress it up. They haven't had the finned barrel for quite some time.

Ron Wood · 03-22-2014, 11:33 PM

Correction! They are back in stock an I ordered one.

Get yours here:

Kinda hit & miss on finding a reliable 50 rd drum magazine, some work and some don't by the same manuf, and no make is more reliable than the other! You can get a dummy with the kit that holds 10 rounds.

Black Dog Machine makes the best drums out there, IMHO.

They run pretty much flawlessly in .22 converted M16s on full auto.

Eric

I don't know in the States but here in Italy the use/purchase of a silencer is strictly prohibited, not long ago I seem to remember reading about a home made silencer sort of thing made with car oil filters.

How is your Luger shooting going on?

I think this is the threaded Luger barrel you're referring to...[pic attached]...Guy on GB sells them...You would still need a ~3" 'shield' for the small drain-back holes in the filters...

I doubt any Luger 'silencer' that cycles the action (even if subsonic) would be very effective...

Sergio Natali · 03-23-2014, 11:44 AM

Then fixing a silencer on a Luger, what for?
Would have it any historical sense?
Everyone to his own taste.

Even if it was the same decibel level, as long as you could change the sound so it sounded like something else, it would be effective in disguising the source of the noise...For example, if you could make it sound like a car horn, no one would suspect it was a gunshot...[Extreme example]...
