SilencerCo Maxim 50 (non NFA) .50 Cal Integrally Suppressed Muzzleloader
http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2...erco-maxim-50/
Basically a Traditions Vortek Inline Muzzleloader with a SilencerCo suppressor permanently welded on. Non NFA, no tax stamp needed. But at $999, you're definitely paying a SilencerCo tax.
I'm very tempted, though it's a pretty big amount of cash for something that I won't be able to shoot as often as everything else (I don't shoot black powder too much, because it's a pain in the ass to clean). Note that approved loads are very limited. Only recommended powder is 100gr or less of BlackHorn 209, and only projectiles that do not use a sabot or wad are allowed. Which means none of my current stuff works.
Maybe this will help get some of the fudds to get behind the HPA or SHARE act?

139db? A un-suppressed 12 gauge is 140db.

I wouldn't shell out the money for it. Looks like a solution to a problem that doesn't exist.
It was worth a try for proof of concept but IMO a suppressor has no place on a muzzleloader.

Re: SilencerCo Maxim 50 (non NFA) .50 Cal Integrally Suppressed Muzzleloader
Black powder generates a lot of gas to get the bullet going. I guess that is why it takes a coffee sized can to give mediocre results.
I know the press release says its OK but be careful. There were some issues with suppressors on air rifles at one time. The previous thinking is it is an evil silencer and an NFA item. It is irrelevant that it is not used on something classified as a firearm. Hope the new administration worked this out.
