The problem is that it is a one and done trick pony.

The can is stuck to the gun. Yeah it turns all rounds subsonic, but not all rrounds are going to impact in the same spot.

With as many varieties of 22lr pistols and rifles that are threaded, i would still choose a standard 22lr can over that.

As for decible reduction, it isnt going to be quieter than a bolt action. The 10/22's action is around 120db when cycling. Where as a standalone 22lr can on a bolt rifle/lever can be about 116 to 120db

I like my dead air mask. Even my first gen aac pilot was an awesome performer.

Right now my prefered squirl rig is a cz 452 with my mask pushing cci standards.

Or you cheat and go daystate air ranger pcp 22cal air rifle with hugget moderator and shroud.

Why do you need a suppressor for hunting squirrels? .22 rifles are almost silent as is.

Still need to go thru the ATF for the 200 buck tax stamp and about a 9-12 month wait.

Upcoming ATF eForms Technology Upgrade
DECEMBER 17-21

US Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives

This is an advance notice to current eForms users about the upcoming launch of a new version of ATF eForms.

The goal of this “modernized eForms” is to provide ATF with an infusion of technology to provide better services to our industry members and the public. This much needed modernization will reduce the effort and time required to review and process ATF applications by incorporating online validations and other enhancements.

No action is needed at this time. However, there are some required steps you'll need to complete after the upgrade is finished (details below).


Outage period
In order to facilitate this upgrade, eForms will be offline during the following time frame:

Upgrade Start: Friday, December 17 at 9 p.m.

Tentative Finish: Tuesday, December 21 at 6 a.m.

You can continue to use the existing eForms until the upgrade starts at 9 p.m. next Friday. During the upgrade time frame, however, eForms will be unavailable.


What you need to know
The web address of eForms is not changing. If you have bookmarked eForms in your browser, it will automatically access the new eForms.

Your eForms User ID is not changing. All your previous submissions will transfer to the new system.


Required steps after upgrade
We're updating the eForms login process to provide enhanced security and establish a trusted relationship between the user and ATF. Here's what you'll need to do after Dec. 21:

After the upgrade, you'll need to manually reset your password before you can log in for the first time.
Once you log in with your new password, the system will ask you to update your user profile information and create a security PIN.
Please review our step-by-step guide with screenshots, but do not complete these steps until the upgrade is complete on Dec. 21:

📄 Existing Users - First Time Login Steps (docx, 1.75 MB)

📄 New Users - First Time Login Steps (docx, 1.33 MB)


What to expect
Once the upgrade is finished, you may notice a few changes in the eForms interface. Here's what to expect:

ATF eForm 4 is coming back. After the upgrade, you will be able to submit the ATF Form 4 electronically through eForms.
Electronic submission of ATF Forms 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 6A, 9, 10 and 5300.11 with the required electronic documents.
Electronic submission of fingerprint cards for ATF Form 4. You will be able to attach your “digital fingerprint cards” to your submission.
Support for larger file attachments. The updated eForms will accept electronic documents up to 30 MB in size.
Enhanced validations to ensure that the upfront validations of your data occur prior to submission.
User PIN for validating the submission of all forms as part of the submission process.
Self-service support for forgotten passwords and PINs.
Rules of behavior that must be accepted to proceed with the use of eForms.
“Ask the Expert” to send your questions to our subject matter experts.
Use of smarter technology to improve customer service and build a foundation for future enhancements such as an Application Programming Interface (API) and Captcha.
