Who are the recommended manufacturers of suppressors. I too are considering for pig hunting.
Lots of very good manufacturers. If you plan on using your suppressor for both high rate of fire guns ( think AR's ) and bolt guns, your primary need will be to accommodate the AR, as the tubes will most likely be made of stainless steel or titanium - to allow for the higher heat build up that comes with long, fast strings of fire. If it will be primarily used on a bolt gun, Silencerco makes their Harvester - an aluminum tubed suppressor with a built in muzzle brake that is very light and priced very economically. The nice thing about Silencerco's suppressors is that most centerfire are modular - you can attach different end caps to handle different barrel threads ( .22 caliber is
usually threaded 1/2 X 28, .30 caliber is
usually threaded 5/8 X 24 ). This allows you to have a direct thread on capability for different caliber rifles. Or, you can have end caps that allow you to have "quick detach" capabilities. A brake / flash hider assembly with an external coarse thread and some type of locking capability that allows you to change the suppressor from one rifle to another with just a couple of quick turns.
I would also advise you to set up a revocable living trust with you as the primary trustee ( and any wife / children / close friends as sub-trustees ) to own the suppressor. This would allow them to be able to have possession of the suppressor without you having to be physically present. If you go with the CLEO sign off, then you would need to be physically present anytime someone else is using the suppressor.
There is just so much neat stuff out there.
A good place to start reading is:
Silencer Talk Lots of good ( and occasionally not so good ) information.
As others have said, you will not regret it.
