France free over the counter
Hungary banned, forget it
Poland pretty much free
in Belgium they are more illegal then anything else, along with NVG rifle scopes.
you even think of having those, you must be some kind of assasin

oh except if you put em on a PCP air gun, then its ok again

total joke


All this means, that anybody who think about driving from UK, to shoot in Germany or Poland
Cannot legally bring his silencer, unless he makes sure to avoid Belgium and Luxembourg

So Dover, Dunkirk or Calais
And drive ALL the way To Metz, to go to north of Germany



You do NOT wanna get caught with both fire arm and a silencer in Belgium as a foreign national.

So really no different than what we have to deal with traveling interstate at times.

And yes, suppressors are legal in most states, and quite a few of those they are legal for hunting. $200 to $1500 for the suppressor depending on how good it is and what it is rated for plus $200 tax stamp and forever wait. Pick a SOT with a range that allows conjugal visits.

My stamp collecting buddy has a few of 'em to go with his MGs, the integrally suppressed 9mm AR/M16 upper is a lot of fun, as is his Bowers Vers30 on my .300 blackout and 762x39 bolt guns. However, my Mossberg 44us shooting CCI Long CBs is just as quiet as his 10/22 w/ GemTech Mist shooting CCI SV.

And of course the ATF being the ATF, an integral suppressor on an air rifle or black powder is not controlled item....
