And I thought synthetic stocks were bad enough...

In case you hadn't seen this video...


Ok so this isn't a suppressor to be used on any rifle. It's a 50 Bp with an integral suppressor.

And there's no way that thing doesn't have to have the barrel cleaned or the suppressor.
 
...and if you notice, they intentionally use the term "sound moderator" in most of their literature.

WHY DON’T I NEED A TAX STAMP?

The BATFE defines a silencer as a “device for silencing, muffling, or diminishing the report of a portable firearm...” By that definition, a silencer is only a silencer if it can attach to a firearm.

The Maxim 50 is built on the base of a Traditions Vortek Striker Fire Muzzleloader. Muzzleloaders are not considered firearms by the BATFE, but are instead antique firearms, a definition and difference that is very distinct.

Because of this, a moderator that is permanently affixed to a muzzleloader is not legally defined as a silencer, since it does not attach to a firearm.
 
So will they sell me a moderator to pin and weld to my non-firearm?
 
I don’t dislike it, but I would have liked to see a real integrated barrel vs a Foster’s can welded to the end of a wizard staff.

To my earlier question, build it myself for my nonfirearm, no tax stamp required?
 
What kind of mess would it make using loose powder instead of the pellet kind? How the heck is that gonna work?

That's why their video shows them using a "drop tube" when loading. Essentially a brass tube that extends through the suppressor into the barrel. Dump your powder through the drop tube to avoid potentially disastrous consequences of loose powder in the can.

The more I look at this design, the less I like. And I hated it at first glance.

Ah-ha!
Didn't see that video, but I'm with you on it's design. Plus it's a grand add the amount of time needed to try and justify getting that and it is not in my wheelhouse for sure.
 
50 state legal? Humph.

Upon launching the Maxim 50, SilencerCo received several immediate legal challenges from authorities and lawyers in the states of New Jersey, Massachusetts, and California. Since we have no desire to place any consumer in a situation where they may get arrested and charged with a felony because their state defines a firearm differently than the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE), we have placed orders from those states on hold and are refunding customers pending legal confirmation. We will update our customers as soon as we have multiple source verification.

Of course those states did. And a few more will. Matters not at all what their laws or Fed laws actually say, they'll try to shut it down with lawyers paid by the taxpayers.
 
So much for those states saying we're not after HUNTING rifles! Who is going to pay $1000 for a long single shot, slow to reload rifle to go rob a store?
