SilencerCo Maxim 50 : First-Ever 50-State-Legal Suppressed Muzzleloader

For the first time since the National Firearms Act (NFA) was created in 1934, civilians can enjoy suppressed shooting in all 50 states with SilencerCo's latest innovation: the integrally suppressed Maxim 50 muzzleloader. In addition, this product can be purchased right now on the web with no regulation (no 4473, no $200 tax stamp, no photographs, and no fingerprints) and be shipped immediately to the customer with few exceptions.

Kinda spendy at $999, although noteworthy of the idea behind it.

Ishapore FTW. SMLE+useful chambering+cheap.

This. A decent Ishapore 2A1 will run you about $350-$400 and it eats 7.62 NATO - which is way cheaper and easier to find than .303 British.

The ammo or the rifle is easier/cheaper to find?

Ammo is easier and cheaper. Rifle is cheaper, although probably about equal difficulty to find, compared to a proper Enfield.

Yeah, pretty much. It's possible to find an Ishapore 2A1, in fact there's a couple on gunbroker right now (though a few have been bubba'd). The ammo however is far cheaper and more plentiful.

Definitely not going to be 50 state legal.

It is until Feinstein has a hernia and pushes through legislation specifically banning it.

Ya, in fact I think they've already suspended sales in California.

That's actually pretty badass.

Anyone know anything about Steyr/Mannlicher 95s? Experience? I did a little research on them today and apparently they're supposed to be pretty cheap, as everyone's attention when it comes to old bolt guns is on the Mausers, Mosin Nagants, etc. But I wasn't so clear on ammo.

American? Is the rifle 8X56r chambered?

AFAIK (Don't own one) They are a nifty rifle, action is interesting, finding functional en-blocs is hard, ammo is a bit rare and expensive.

The last bit about ammo availability worries me most...I'd love to own some of these older bolt rifles but it seems like the way to go is reloading ammo (unless perhaps they're rechambered I guess) and reloading ammo isn't in my future really.

Is .380 ACP harder to find than 9mm? I know it's cheaper, but I'm not so sure about rarity.
If Walther could just release a 9mm PPK I can be happy.

Honestly 9x19 is going to be far more common.

It's also fun to watch the failures as well

.380 is harder to find, and more expensive than 9mm. Walther will never make a 9mm PPK because they must follow the laws of physics.

Or just rarely shoot them. I have some weird old rifles and I just shoot them rarely because they're collectors pieces, ammo is rare and pricey, and they serve no 'functional' purpose.

I usually find good deals online for ammo that are cheaper than buying locally. Locally there is a good range of available ammo.

My brain hurts.

” Some of these bullets, as you saw, have an incendiary device on the tip of it, which is a heat seeking device. So, you don’t shoot deer with a bullet that size. If you do you could cook it at the same time.” – Patricia Eddington
Maybe I want my meal right there, right now, huh?

And Obama, really? Hurgh! My brain hurts!

Have that ombined with the knife and tomahawk stock and go all oper-viking at the range and then bleed to death.

Have that combined with the knife and tomahawk stock and go all oper-viking at the range and then bleed to death.

So.... would that be called a mall-viking instead of mall-ninja that is operating operationally?

They must also be blonde and wear goatees and braided ponytails.

They also often become Neo-Nazis when they shave.
