SilencerCo has released the Maximum 50, the first 50-state legal muzzleloader with an integral suppressor. This innovation bypasses NFA regulations because, according to the ATF, muzzleloaders are not defined as firearms and the suppressor is permanently affixed, thus not meeting the definition of a silencer which can be attached to a firearm. The muzzleloader is priced at $999 and ships to most states, with specific FFL requirements for New Jersey, Washington D.C., and New York City.

Quick Summary

The SilencerCo Maximum 50 is the first muzzleloader with an integral suppressor that is legal in all 50 states. This is due to the ATF's classification of muzzleloaders as antique firearms, not firearms, and the suppressor being permanently affixed, thus not meeting the definition of a silencer.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the SilencerCo Maximum 50 legal in all 50 states?

The SilencerCo Maximum 50 is legal in all 50 states because it is classified as a muzzleloader, not a firearm by the ATF. Its integral suppressor is permanently affixed and does not meet the ATF's definition of a silencer, which requires the device to be attachable to a firearm.

How does the ATF define a suppressor, and why doesn't it apply to the Maximum 50?

The ATF defines a suppressor as a device for silencing firearms that can be attached to a portable firearm. The Maximum 50's suppressor is permanently attached to a muzzleloader, which the ATF does not define as a firearm, thus bypassing this definition.

What is the price and availability of the SilencerCo Maximum 50?

The SilencerCo Maximum 50 starts at $999 and is available for purchase directly from SilencerCo's website. It ships to most states, with specific FFL requirements for New Jersey, Washington D.C., and New York City.

Are there any federal regulations or paperwork required for the SilencerCo Maximum 50?

No, there are no federal regulations like tax stamps, fingerprints, or photographs required for the SilencerCo Maximum 50. It bypasses NFA regulations because it's not classified as a firearm with an attachable silencer.
