Please be aware of, and abide by, HAM Community Rule 5.11. This states:
5.11 Airgun silencers (moderators) are legal - even encouraged - in some countries, yet may be illegal in others. The situation in the USA seems to be somewhat unclear. Generally, it seems that if a silencer is built-in to an airgun by the manufacturer and becomes non-functional when removed (through dis-assembly, for example) it is legal in the USA. Separate, aftermarket airgun-only silencers may be legal provided that they cannot be used on a firearm. As a US-based Service, the HAM Community may accept discussion of airgun sound-reduction capabilities. But it will not allow discussion of any changes or modifications to silencers, nor the design or construction of silencers. Please be aware of the law if posting on this topic!
Thank you.
