Integrally suppressed Muzzle Loader?

[FJ540]

This is just a random thought that came to mind. I have not so much as fired a ML in my life, nor do I possess any ML stuffs. So kindly save the rants for someone else.

Is a ML, not being a firearm under the GCA, under restrictions of the NFA in regards to the taxable use of a suppressor? BB guns aren't.

Just a thought. Curious if anyone else has had the same thought, and what conclusions you came to on the matter.

Probably have to contact the BATFE for that info, better do it in writing.

They'll just change their minds in a year anyway.

A primitive suppressed weapon would help my neighborly relations at my place for moonlight varmint shooting. It's also possibly a loophole in our stupid nightvision prohibition for coyotes.

Sure, I could form 1 a can now, but I have better uses of $200 than donating it to the federal government.

Lets see I have a thermal scope and I have a muzzleloader.... Never mind, pretty sure the law says anything capable of taking game is illegal.

Or, you could invest in an Airforce Texan air rifle and fit it with a "shroud". It's capable of taking large(deer sized) animals.

I just looked it up again - says taking wild animals. I guess that's their catch-all to prevent the game vs unprotected debate.

Sure wish Cornish hadn't sold us down the river on NV.

I'm not going to invest in a damn thing. I can build one.

That's pretty weak for deer but cool.
