OK, I might get my ass handed to me for this, so... I'm kicking around the idea of a .22lr can built by my local C2 and having the 1 piece core permanently attached to my factory 10/22 barrel.(6" can/12" bbl.) Thus keeping a nice original OAL, having an easily cleanable integral, and saving myself from an SBR tax... So my questions are - is it even likely that an Alum. core will pin to the steel bbl. and stay put? Should I be thinking about stainless? Since it's C2-built can we experiment with different cores? Is this a pretty stupid idea??  I know - but I just want something different than an integral bull. Any comments/critizism are welcome... |
yes he can experiment , even after he sells the suppresor to you. some builders rebuild cans all the time. do serial the core do the outer tube. make sure the core if very permanent or it will be an SBR ,pinning will not do. I'd go SS due to the strength of the welds. watch out for patent infingment as some are built like what your talking about. |

Just buy a quality known silencer, rather than one that needs experimenting with, they already did the experimenting for you. Pay the extra $200 tax on the short rifle so the silencer can get more use hippety hoppety to other guns. Integrals look cool so being dedicated is worth the tax, dedicating a screw on to save $16/month for a year does not seem worth it to me, you will shoot more ammo through the gun in a year than you spend on the tax. Let your C2 experiment on his silencer design on his dime and not yours. Of course if your state does not allow Short rifles then that changes things a bit. What ever material your barrel is made from use the same for the silencer body and thread mount as they will all be welded solid, pinning is not good enough. If you are making a a silencer that the baffles come out of, or core as you call it, clean it often as without access to the mounting end it's gonna be hard to push out dirty stuck baffles. |
Nah, good ol' Oregon allows all kinds of fun stuff... The concept came from a pic I saw of a Prodigy core screwed to the end of a pistol without the tube. That seemed a good way of helping ensure access to the inside versus drop-in baffles and having the tube itself attached. It seems the issue would be a light enough core, material-wise, to make it worth it. The realistic solution is to man up and SBR the 10/22, but I am also intrigued by the idea of a suppressor of my (our) own design - cause we can! |
I'm with David on this one. An interesting thought would be to take an 18" heavy barrel and make your core right from the last 6" of the barrel. then just have an outer steel tube that threads over it. |
