Ruger MKIII Suppressor

[mdlave]

Hey guys:
I'm looking for some advice here. I've been thinking about a suppressed .22, and am considering my options.

Option 1: Purchase a suppressed receiver and switch back and forth.

Option 2: Sell the MKIII, and just purchase a complete suppressed unit. Probably another Ruger. Would purchasing one of these with the rest of the gun included be cheaper overall (Counting the $200 or so I'd get for the original gun?)

Option 3: Just ASK the neighbors to keep their kids off my lawn.

Kidding.

My main reason for wanting one is "Just for the hell of it." So, I'm interested in hearing the ideas of others. Thanks.

no, moving targets are great practice:D

I'm wanting one of these if you decide to rid it. PM me if interested.

Option 4. have your current gun threaded, and buy a can.
That way you can build a nice .22 long gun and have it threaded to use the same suppressor.

Kids are quicker than you think...

I appreciate the replies. I may just install a sprinkler system and use it as needed.

As for the gun, I have not seen threaded barrels for MKIIIs, although that is a smart idea (There may be a 10/22 in my future if I can ever get out of the city).
Does Hero Gear perform this kind of work? Ballpark numbers for cost?
Thanks much.

Yep, we can help with the entire process.
We should get together in person or offline and develop a game plan.

I gotta quite coming to this site. It gives me bad ideas.

Buy a threaded Pac-lite upper for your Ruger and add a muzzle can. Tac-65 is a great .22 can and is not very expensive. Google is your friend.

I will second the Tactical Solutions products. The Pac-Lite upper is for the Ruger pistols, and the Trail-Lite barrel is for the Browning Buck Mark. The Buck Mark just requires an easily swapped barrel, but the Ruger requires an entire new receiver, unless you want to have the original barrel threaded. The upper receiver for the Ruger is the serial numbered part of the gun, and requires an FFL to receive it.

I have the 4" Trail-Lite threaded barrel on my Buck Mark, and use a Tactical Innovations Stratus suppressor on it. The Stratus is equally at home on my CZ 452 American 16, and Ruger 10/22, and it can be disassembled and cleaned by the end user.

Hi-Desert Dog is another good place to look at threaded barrels for various firearms, and their prices are very reasonable.

Option 5: Buy a pellet gun and save the money for something worth putting a suppressor on. :D
