SHOOTING MUFFS

You need good ear protection on a covered range. I like David Clark's muffs. You can replace the foam filled cushions with liquid filled cushions for more comfort. I still wear foam plugs with them.
The DCs are my only muffs that, 30 years later, I've been able to find replacement parts for. OTOH, they are very bulky and sort of the opposite of what the OT was asking for.
 
The David Clark muffs are top line quality and the most sound reduction you can get. Parts are readily available.
 
How long would it take to get 6 suppresors approved? I suppose one would be ok and just move it from gun to gun as needed.
I just bought one, was told to expect 8-14 months, but might get lucky and get it sooner. I don’t think it is longer to get multiples, you do the paperwork separately I think.
 
I have always been a fan of them for flying but i havent seen a gun with a stock on it you can shoot with them on
I can shoot all my long guns (AR's, Rem 700 with Bell & Carson stock, etc.) with them. Maybe my head is shaped differently. I can shoot shotguns with electronic muffs too.

I have three suppressors and use each on multiple rifles.

My only regret is that I didn't buy them 50-60 years ago. I would hear much better now if I did. The $200 tax stamp plus the cost of the suppressor is a bargain. I paid $3000 for my nuisance hearing aids.

As has been said. The best time to buy one was a year ago. The next best time is today.

How much to install? I assume that you have to chuck the BA in a lathe or do you thread the muzzle end like you do a piece of pipe? Plus reblue if the barrel has a blued finish. I have 5 SS barrels, one blued and one gunsmith's surprise.

I paid from $50 to $75 each to have them threaded. Local gunsmith did the work.

The silicon plugs are good , but not as good as foamies. The difference is only 2-3 dB, but they are easier to insert than foamies which makes them a very good alternative. It is easier to get safe protection with silicon ridge plugs as they are easier to insert correctly. By the way, 2 dB is about 10% and 3 dB about
40%. The difference limon for human hearing is 2 dB. Difference limon is the minimum change in sensory input that 50% of people can detect.
 
I also use the MSA Sordin muffs. The give a great seal, very comfortable with the gel pads and great electronics. However, I do not trust what is left of my hearing to muffs alone; I use muffs over foamies.
 
Sordin Pro X are good ear protection. Not too thick ear muff. gel seal. good microphone for hearing range commands, etc. fit/shape -no problem for me using with any type rifle. wear foam plugs under for even more protection :). https://www.sordin.com/products/supreme-pro-x-led
Peltor Comtac III are superb. Heavy. great mic pickup-directional. Gel cup seals. quick blast cutoff. A few more $$ for the best. Forget anything Howard Leight. I left / dropped mine in a hayfield and plowed them with my tractor few months later. Couldn't bring myself to spend the $ again. The best ever- earpro, hands down. well my .02.
