I thought about doing that. Just start with one of the long-barreled pump guns with like a 26-28" barrel, and build an integral suppressor all the way back to the mag tube (port the barrel along the extra length). On standard Mossbergs I believe the tube is 14" long, leaving you 12-14" for a suppressor, and on the Remington 4+1s I think it is 12" long, giving you an extra 2" for a suppressor. Make the body like 2" in diameter and I'd think one could at least get it hearing safe with a basic design. It would probably need a red-dot to see over the can though.
Though, at the moment it is very low on the list of realistic priorities. Next on the list is a QMF9 I think, though, heh.

Porting at 8" is keeping the shorter .410s subsonic in mine (OAL 26"). Working around the barrel nut and pump is a lot of fun. I would try a single shot first.AgentAdam wrote:The .410 would be decent. I wonder how short the barrel would have to be for a .410 and 12g to make all shells subsonic. They are very efficient with even 12" barrels because of the fast burning powders.

Unless I was dreaming,,,,,,,,,,,,,I remember where Kevin was talking about AAC working on a suppressed shotty.
I would LOVE to have one of those, I'm sure it would be the best thing since sliced bread.

Because I remember that clearly as well, along with waking up all sticky and wet.
That's the only gun I need a suppressor for 3-gun matches.

I like it! I don't have any video of it but it does knock the sound down significantly.
I have shot it without muffs or plugs a few times but it will still make my ears ring, kind of like a .22mag rifle.
The main advantage for me is that I can run the gun all day long without getting that concussive blast.
Makes the gun really fun!
