He politely asked me to put the cross-bow down Then asked, "Is Jack around to help?"

Honestly is often a dish served cold.

His concern was for larger GH's; an air rifle may not be enough in his mind for an ethical shot at the ranges we discussed.

I am headed over to a friends farm tomorrow that has a bolt action .22 that can use sub-sonic .22LR and has a suppressor.

I have a few old .22LR rifles I will take with me since he seems to think I could have a gunsmith add threading to the rifle barrels for a suppressor. I really do not need another rifle of any kind so I am willing to try.

Thank you all for the input...greatly appreciated.

We'll see.

Silencer central has barrel threading service, that last time I looked was pretty cheap. As long as you have enough space between the front sight and the crown and the barrel is round they can pretty much do it.

If you want something larger - I have a Henry Model X that I can put a can on - 158gr .38 specials are VERY quiet - easily hearing safe at an indoor range so outdoors your neighbors won't even hear it. Much quieter than a .22 break barrel airgun I have
