No offense, but none of my suppressors affect my ballistics. Point of impact with suppressor on is within 1/4" of impact with it off. Just as accurate with or without the cans on them.
If you have all the correct paperwork to OWN a suppressor, then it is now legal to USE it. This is not something that WDFW would have to include in the regs. It would be part of your weapon just a muzzle brake or scope would. One thing that you might want to consider though is that a suppressor will affect your ballistics considerably.

Not yet......I do have my Class 2 NFA manufacturers license, but I haven't had time to build any yet. I have several and have sold several Thunderbeast can's and they work very well. Hopefully will experiment this winter once rifle builds are caught up.
With the older suppressors or ones that the bullets pass through a mesh of somesort, yes, I have seen them affect accuracy and ballisitics. With the newer baffle type, the hole is slightly over bullet diameter, so its basically redirecting the gas after the bullet exits the muzzle. I have shot a bunch of them over the chrono and most of the time velocity is very close if not the same as with no suppressor. Shooting them out to 1500+ yds and still using the same dope as without them. I did have one rifle it increased velocity slightly, but not by much. They make a very effective muzzle brake as well and reduce recoil.
