Detached suppressor ?

Please don't perpetuate bullcrap about suppressors. Suppressors are partially defined as being part of a portable firearm....so unless you can pick-up six or eight tires.

Sorry, not perpetuating "bull crap" - communicating real-world experience. Considering the number of "authorities" on the NFA item subject there is only ONE body that writes and enforces the law on NFA items. HOWEVER, most will find it far more expensive (in legal representation) to "ask forgiveness, rather than to ask permission."

Your story is so far from any part of the definition of a suppressor it was laughable.
 
A possible solution for your detached suppressor. I know of a range within the urban growth boundary of a major city. In order to keep it friendly, in front of each firing position they connected and hung six old car sized tires. The muzzle of a rifle was positioned just inside the second tire. Most of the muzzle blast and sound was captured inside the next five tires. Maybe clunky, unsightly and obnoxious to shoot thru, but it solved the problem.
 
I don't think it's as much a detached suppressor as it is a range house for a shooting range that will keep the noise down in the neighbor hood and not rupture his ear drums in the process . He was just looking at possibilities as he thinks his wife wants to divorce him and if he buys a new piece of property with room on it to put a range on it how to keep the neighbors from complaining .
