JK Armament does a bunch of barrel threading as a service, including on shotgun barrels. I sent in a pump action 12GA to them and had them cut it down to about 13-14 inches (as short as it could be and clear the pump) then externally thread the barrel for their OBMD (https://jkarmament.com/products/jk-bald-eagle-12ga-over-barrel-muzzle-device/) and install one. Works great!

“A grand for the suppressor stings, but lose the tax and add in a basic used pump shotgun…”

I’m thinking along the lines of a free stamp and scratch-build a can from plumber’s pipe…

“…just build…”

Garage project for those with medium hand tool skills. A grand for the suppressor stings, but lose the tax and add in a basic used pump shotgun…

And if you are worried about good thread alignment (and you should be, else you may build a one shot wonder), have it professionally chopped and threaded.

Yeah and it’ll be useable after filing a Form 1 and putting a stock on it to turn that confused non-binary monstrosity into a functional firearm 😜

“After Jan 1 it’s free. No more $200 tax to file that Form 1 and build your own (or to buy one on a Form 4).”

Hell yeah, I’m filing for a number of form 4 cans come Jan 1…

No, that’s the point: A Shockwave or Aftershock is a firearm, neither a shotgun nor a short-barrelled shotgun. So there’s no registration and no tax, just transfer it on a normal 4473.

You know, a 12-inch barrel with a permanently mounted suppressor that brings it at least to legal length would be pretty badass.

Or just build a short barreled shotgun! After Jan 1 it’s free. No more $200 tax to file that Form 1 and build your own (or to buy one on a Form 4).

That would be cool. A ported barrel with the suppressor over it could be very effective while also not adding any length. Difficult with gas operated systems, easy with inertia or manual action.

uncommon_sense, there are quite a few integrally suppressed designs that allow for both of those things without any difficulty. They disassemble just fine or otherwise provide full access. Some make it harder, but there are still ways. Nearly all centerfire rifle cans are fully sealed anyway and you can’t access the baffles inside the suppressor. The effective ways to clean those (soaking in a solution) can often be used for those more complicated integral setups as well. In really all scenarios you can clean your barrel with a bore snake. If you want to use a rod, the only typical restriction is that you don’t want to use patches if you’re going to be passing it through the suppressor.

Yeah, even with just three baffles you’d cut down on sound, muzzle blast, concussion. No need to suffer hearing damage along with all the rest of the negative aspects of that scenario

LKB,

I despise integrally suppressed firearms because I want the ability to thoroughly clean the barrel AND the baffles inside the suppressor.
