Suprressed .22's and You

[imschur]

Well?

[Tal]

I said Yes...

But the cost is so prohibitive. If given the choice between spending the dough on a supressor or a full auto, I think I'd spend it on the full auto..

[imschur]

Tal you can get a great  .22 suppressor including the tax stamp for less than $600 I paid $399 for my silencerco sparrow. The tax stamp is $200

Yep...But if you already got 6 into it...I just think you ought to throw in another couple of grand and walk out fully auto!!!!

And just think Drew...

You have no idea how much I chuckle when you post about guns on GL.org. You swapped F holes for bullet holes  :thumb: I have been trying to tell George he should get in to gun parts

I would like to get two one for my mosin and one for my AK .22 but none of the ranges round here allow them  >:(

really? Thats crazy

[Microgunner]

Had one, hardly ever used it. I found I prefer my rimfires loud (if you can call them that).

I might consider another if I were rabbit or squirrel hunting , but I'm not anymore.

What are the main reason for a suppressed .22. Since I shoot on a range all the time I'm can't figure out why I'd need one other than maybe the coolness factor. Don't get me wrong I have nothing against thembut haven't come up with a compelling reason to spend the money or give the info to the feds for the tax stamp.

I can understand if you are able to shoot on your own property and don't want to irritate the neighbors. Sadly I can't, city ordinance.

Hunting for small game so as not to spook other critters?

Indoor shooting to save on the ear drums?

[imschur]

For me it will open up places to shoot without bothering the neighbors. Very often here in my area even when legal to shoot on private property neighbors are calling the cops after the first shot. It gets old.

[asmurff]

I assume shooting the neighbors is out of the question  ???

The police came and busted our chops one thanksgiving. We were shooting a Ruger Single Six .22.

Their original and best utilized purpose is small game hunting.

'Cause it's so damned cool!!

:laugh:

I'll buy that!

[Tal]

Yep..it is a 10 on the coolness factor...

I guess that's true because they really do work quite well on a rimfire.

[nhgunnut]

I use mine off my back porch. My supressors keep me in the good graces of my neighbours. I have a. 22 and a. 223. I am in all likelhood going to get a good·30 cal can in the next year.

[wobblinwheel]

How do you suppress a .223?? If the bullet travels faster than the speed of sound, you still get one hell of a CRACK!!

[Microgunner]

Well, you get two sonic booms when you fire a super sonic projectile, the bullet breaks the sound barrier and so does the expanding gases as they exit the bore.

The supressor effectively reduces the sonic boom from the expanding gases leaving only the projectiles sonic crack.

There is a great reduction of noise but not an elimination.
