Franklin Armory, known for pushing the boundaries of innovative firearms, has announced an exciting partnership with Angstadt Arms to bring integrally suppressed versions of their popular F22 platform to market.
The new F22-V lineup includes pistols, rifles, and short-barreled rifles (SBRs), all featuring Angstadt Arms’ premium Vanquish 22 integrally suppressed barrels. This combination delivers exceptional accuracy paired with truly whisper-quiet performance. Perfect for plinking, training, small game hunting, or just enjoying the range without disturbing the peace.
The F22 series remains the only .22 Long Rifle pistols and rifles factory-optimized for Franklin Armory’s patented Binary Firing System, letting shooters unleash double-taps with every trigger pull. For those who prefer a more traditional setup, the F22-V can also be configured with a standard semi-automatic Ruger 10/22 BX-Trigger.
Built tough with a precision-machined 7075 aluminum receiver and an enhanced firing pin system for reliable ignition, every F22 comes ready to run with a factory 10-round Ruger magazine.
I reviewed Franklin Armory’s F22 pistol here on TTAG recently. It’s a great pistol and a lot of fun to shoot. I was planning to run a suppressor on mine at some point, but now I’m curious to see what these factory-suppressed models will look like at SHOT.
Keep an eye out for Franklin Armory’s newsletter and social media for more details in the near future.

Cool but takedown version would be my preferred option.
Any version that ramps up production and normalizes the setup is fine really. While some bitch and moan about NFA registration it is ultimately less than several states have to own firearms let alone conceal carry and the more that are in circulation the easier removing them from restrictions will be in the long term.
I am dozens of stamps into the game at this point.
Working on the first but the pre-order for the serbu super shorty is a bitch. Probably would be faster for a 20mm bolt action but we a have a pending 50bmg (and similar/greater) ban coming up. But for this topic it isn’t about me/you so much as the rest of America.
I’m currently waiting on my 37th for approval.
Well enjoy the collectable (hopefully) soon to be voided stamps then.
earpstate…Those who don’t batch, moan or even bother to file a complaint and turn around to scrap the bottom of a barrel for a pathetic excuse need to grow a pair.
You have a lot of nerve implying anything about anyone who does not and will not drop to your level. Too bad those who jump through all the hoops for a can, sbr, etc. won’t admit they were played.
If a 4473 doesn’t cut it then for me it is do without until it does…That is not moaning that is saying what all that goes in for a can does not, will not provide a break-even return.
Still with nothing to contribute but noise. Put some effort into advancing anything beyond your wounded pride and I can at least pretend to care or take you seriously.
Interesting though I think the price-point will be an issue up front until they sell enough of them to bring the price down as the design is commodified.
For now, you can slap a mid-to high end muffler on a “more useful” (in quotes for the obvious reason, calm down) on a PDW styled weapon in calibers from 9mm to 5.56 for several hundred bucks cheaper and that’s going to be a problem for many potential buyers.
I would imagine higher to mid price point options would be the first to market as larger scale production would wait to see if there is interest and if so what the “standard” setup would be that can be made the most cost effectively (see 16 in AR)
I simply wouldn’t be surprised if they get a lot of feedback along the lines of “drop the price to the high hundreds and we’re talking”.
Right now I can order a 9mm “AR style” pistol for ~$550 and a decent suppressor in 9mm running from $500-$650, have the entire setup in my hands inside 14 days and do it for significantly cheaper than one of these things, which is the same time it will take me to get one of these integrally suppressed jobs.
A couple hundred bucks difference is the difference between adding optics, some add-ons like an AFG and mags for a great many people.
I hope they sell well enough that the price does come down because that helps the industry and therefore us. I just think it will take a bit of time.
Wasn’t expecting to see much of anything until June so already faster than expected but glad several companies had ideas in mind and started producing before the rule change. Timing sucks with a lot of everyone broke from the last half decade but even that is trending better (up here at least).
It’s better most places for some people and worse for other people.
Welcome to the “K”-shaped economy.
No kidding, chunks of PA and DE are getting crushed with price hikes in comparison.
Yeah. It’s really too bad that the R’s pretty much lost next year’s election as of today (my time, barely).
Oh well. At least there’s no need to move states anymore since the whole place is gonna be the USSA in pretty short order.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
All because R’s are worthless. Ah well, at least they’ll be inarguably legit targets for the counter revolutionaries.
