Are suppressors massed into the law with MGs, etc? Is there only the paperwork to submit upon purchase of aforementioned weapons or accessories? This is what I am reading into your post. Say I wanted to get a suppressor for my little Walther P22 or get my Mini-14 modified for one, do I just have to be able to afford it and submit the form?

Yes, silencers are title weapons just like mgs. Once you purchase the silencer, you will submit a complete form 4 with your $200 tax. So basically all you need is the money and be qualified to buy a firearm.
The P22 is a popular host for a nice, light muzzle can like the AAC Pilot or John's Guns Viper. The mini 14 is not a good host but it can be done. An AAC Ranger2 would be the best option for this.

Thanks for the clarifications, Chad!
I may be talking to you in the future about a suppressor for the P22!
As far as the Mini, I was hoping the new Surefire 5.56/.223 suppressor could be utilized.

You could use the SureFire, but it will cost 3x the AAC, be larger and heavier than the AAC, and not be nearly as quiet. The mini 14 has a tremendous amount of action noise (gas out of the ejection port) that a silencer can do nothing about.

Unfortunately, SureFire is awfully proud of thier stuff.

The customer pays for the huge marketing campaign, not necessarily the quality of the product. I am sure the purchase price of the silencer helps to pay for the cool calenders that SureFire gave me to give to LE depts last year. That is why I am now a StreamLight dealer instead of SureFire.
