My gun is a 4.5" barrel with a 6" suppressor on it.

If you do plan to chop and re-thread,  might Isuggest Long Range Precision. I had them do a barrel for me and it cost a whopping $20+shipping.

I will definitely look into that.  That's dirt cheap, as long as they thread it concentric to the bore.  Where are they located?  I did a quick google search and didn't find them.  I thought about a longer handguard, but I wanted to keep this as light as possible because this is my daughter's favorite gun.

By the way, your loading bench is WAY more organized than mine.

 LRP is in TN. Ill get you their contact info when I get to a computer. The threading the did on my guns are good to go. They did a savage mk2 and a ruger mk3 for me. The ruger consisted of a sight relocation, cut to 4", re-crown, thread, and matching thread protector for $65.


My bench just looks organized, luckily Iam not zoomed out or you will see the real mess.

No new pics tonight but I got the endcaps profiled and knurled, fitted the baffles, and made the spacer.  Now I just have to drill the vent holes in the baffles and get it engraved.

I'm back from the range and pretty happy with how it turned out.  My .22 SBR is one of the loudest .22 rifles I've ever heard.  With the can on it is much better.  Bulk high velocity ammo still makes quite a bit of noise because it's going supersonic.  You hear a "bang" from the bullet breaking the sound barrier a split second after pulling the trigger.  Without a can it's not noticeable, but you can definitely tell when shooting suppressed.   The action on this gun is also very noisy.  Even with all of that it's hearing safe when running a can.  I need to get my Savage .22 bolt action threaded and see just how quiet I can be.

I bought some CCI subsonic rounds, but they don't have enough power to cycle the action.  That's too bad, because they're stupid quiet.  All you hear is the sound of the action cycling.  I'm going to try some other brands of subs to see if they'll work.  The CCI's are the Quiet 22 brand which is only running about 700 FPS.  That's way slower than needed, so I'm going to find something that runs just a little faster and save these for the bolt gun.

Here's some gun porn.  Ignore the ugly guy and concentrate on the shiny can.

Federal bulk pack, 5 rounds without suppressor and 5 with a dry can.  Notice I wasn't wearing hearing protection without the can.  Stupid move on my part.  This thing is LOUD.



Federal bulk pack, 5 rounds without suppressor, 5 rounds with wet can.  When I'm shooting suppressed you can hear someone in the next range over (about 100 yards away) shooting.  The sound of their shots is about the same as mine:



CCI Quiet 22 subsonic, 1 round:

Thanks, I will look into that.  Remington anything is junk when it comes to .22 ammo.  This gun will eat anything (not counting the CCI Quiet that is just under powered) except for Remington .22 ammo.  Their QC is so bad that about one round out of 30 or so won't even chamber.  My 10/22 won't run with it either.

C'mon now, tell the truth.  You didn't build that yourself.  The One has told us that others, probably .gov, did it for you.

Ha!  The metal chips embedded in my fingers say otherwise.  My boss, who started our company from nothing 12 years ago with our other cofounder, was pretty angry about the Dear Leader's speech.  I believe his exact words were "F*** You."

Off topic, but while it's true that our national infrastructure helps enable entrepreneurs, this whole episode illustrated what Obama thinks about private business.  He sees it as a parasite that drains resources from the rest of the country.  Not surprising from someone who has never held a job in the real world.
