    Thinking of transforming my workshop into a shooting range

    Suppressors, Snails and Sub-Sonic Ammo..... Suppressors are legal with BATF application approval and $200 tax stamp in most states. Not CA, however, so you're going to have to "suppress" your whole shop/range. Materials are available for exactly this purpose. Also, steel baffles and snails will...
