My state, Texas, just allowed hunting with a suppressor, effective
September 1st.

Whether you build your own suppressor (usually pretty easy) or buy a
commercial one, the BATF requires a $200 tax for each one.


NOT just a $200 tax,but fingerprinting,background check,and written
permission from a local law enforcement officer.
Plus,your state has to allow them.

You CAN'T "build your own" suppressor legally,it requires a
manufacturer's license from ATF.A good way to go to jail.

also,you have to pay the tax,etc,and get the ATF tax stamp BEFORE you
can take possession of your suppressor.


You CAN build your own. One. More than one, you are a manufacturer.
