Title: TKO Muzzle Brake For Disco - Need Permit?
Post by: Marc on June 05, 2013, 08:41:16 AM

Do you need a permit to buy and use a TKO muzzle brake on an air gun, like a supressor on a .22?

It does not appear so - just checking.  Being able to quiet a Disco is going to be a deciding factor in me getting one.

Thanks!

A TKO is legal, it's specifically made for airgun use only.  Take out the bold type below and add the s....... word.

Marc,

Check with your state and local laws as well.  Discussions on suppressors and the S one are not allowed on the GTA.  Please take some time to read the GTA rules.

Thanks,
Harry

PS.
For example in my state hunting is not allowed with any added device that diminishes the report of the gun.
