No need for ears (depending on caliber). Try it, it’s awesome...03Lightningrocks wrote: ↑Thu Nov 15, 2018 5:52 pm I just cannot think of a reason to get a silencer. I am not a hit man.

Re: Must Barrell Ends Be Threaded To Accept A Suppressor?
Just be thankful that the 1934 NFA (National Firearms Act) neglected to include a provision for the stamps to be tied to inflation. As a result what was essentially a sum that dissuaded most from pursing a stamp back then has become a minor annoyance to us today.
To that same end the revenue from tax stamps today in no way offsets the amount of money the ATF NFA branch spends managing the process of background checks and issuance of them. Getting rid of the process would actually be a cash positive move for the government these days.

Re: Must Barrell Ends Be Threaded To Accept A Suppressor?
I’d stay away from any adaptor that purports to allow you to put a suppressor on a non-threaded barrel. As noted the issue is concentricity to the bore and the risk of baffle strikes if it’s not perfect.
Your Colt and S&W 15-22 will both be threaded 1/2x28. If you’re using a .22 specific can on the 15-22 you’ll need a spacer as S&W hasn’t figured out that the industry spec for rim fire cans is a thread length of .400” vs . the .600” of 5.56 guns. That said the spacers are easy to come by and cheap.
The Glock would just be a drop in barrel as mentioned. I’m a big fan of the SilencerCo barrels, they’re well made and I haven’t seen one yet that had any fit issues. You can usually find them on Brownells or similar sites for $150 or less. As a note it will also have 1/2x28 threads on it.
Another drop in barrel company I’ve been very pleased with is Rim Country Manufacturing. They make barrels for HK guns and their products are awesome. Know you didn’t ask about HK, but wanted to include it for anyone looking.
One stamp per suppressor or in the case of a SBR one stamp per receiver. Once you have the stamp(s)/cans in hand you can put them on whatever gun you want.
Here is a good read/resource for common thread pitches and manufacturers.
