In Germany round 600.- Euros including gunsmith work.
A-tec and Hausken are the manufaturer mostly.
And -here a silencer is not allowed in every region.

wow.what a price= 250 USD (225.- Euro)
 
Iceland 200 dollars for silent hunter ...RSA brand ...they do an excellent 375hh suppressor .....

I am the importer in Iceland .........in RSA you can buy over the counter
 
I paid in USA, $700 + $200 government tax for a .308 caliber capable of up to 300 Win Mag. $300 +$200 tax for .22 LR. Almost a year to get!
 
40 usd same day reg if paperwork in by 10 am
 
$500-1000 depending on quality and plus the $200 tax stamp.
 
Just to clarify as cannot edit the above - 200 dollar up plus sales tax - registration is same day if received before 10am - and is 40 usd for reg. however if reg. a rifle at same time its free
 
Tax stamp plus $500-1000 depending on model. Most I saw were made in USA. I picked one around 600-700 in 30 cal. Approaching a year, and still waiting...
 
In Spain, you go to jail :(
 
In the UK you can pick up a decent example for £200-400. Threading the rifle varies, it depends who you go to. I've paid from £50 to £150.

I bought a new one for my .22-250 last week. The rifle is already threaded so total was £230. Not bad really. They're easy to get here, most shooters have them on their hunting rifles.
 
Every Tom, Dick and Harry in South Africa with a lathe now makes silencers, or suppressors if you want to call it that. Some are very heavy and cumbersome.

I hate nothing more than seeing a beautiful rifle butchered for these things, but some situations require them. I have one rifle, a Tikka CTR .308 with a factory threaded barrel that I use with a Hausken J184. They are by far the best made and lightest silencers Ive used. The J184 protrudes 4” past the muzzle, the rest being over the barrel, and only weighs 285 grams. They are about R4500 now, and come with a variety of barrel nuts to be used with different barrels
 
We pay about 5-10 years in prison in Canada.

Not to go completely sideways on your thread Foxi.

My friend hunted this Bushpig. He was tickled because there were so many things about the hunt that were totally illegal at home in Canada. It was just so strange to him.
Hunted at Night
Hunted with a Suppressor
Hunted with a .223 Caliber.

Almost exactly what I paid for mine as well.
.30 caliber (up to 300WM full-auto) for ~$700.
.22LR (rated for full-auto) for ~$300.
Plus $200 tax stamp for each and waited 8-9 months for BATFE to approve.
 
Norway; From around US 120 and up. No paperwork required, buy as many you want.
 
unfortunately, the concept is too sensible for Australian politicians to understand.

the lefties and govt here will have you believe that suppressor ownership = mass murderer in the making
 
I have several in the US
$200 for each tax stamp, 500-700 for each suppressor that are rated for 300 win mag down and one specifically for 223. And nine months for one and 13 months waiting for two...
Plus $100 to thread barrels

I can relate to this. On one of the days of my hunt we headed out a little late with the intention of getting back after dark. They'd brought a spot light and were spotlighting all the nocturnal animals just to see them and I'm sitting there in the bakie with a rifle with a suppressor and rounds in the magazine. They had to keep reasuring me that what we were doing was legal. We came across some Jackals the land owner wanted shot, I asked again if it was legal. It's just so different in Africa.
