    Pistol rounds cheap as. Accurate enough to 50 - 60 meters. Drills holes through fence posts. Zero recoil .
    Heaps of fun

    Awesome. That is exactly what I'm thinking of. Is that a DPT you've got on it there? How many baffles and how quiet is it with subs?

    Its just standard as they come DPT. Its quiet .Not pffft quiet has a bang but you'd never hear it 300 mtrs away.

    I have a 20" stainless Rossi lever, wanted a 16" but this one kinda popped up at the right price. Now I want to suppress it after reading all this. Thinking I might shorten the mag tube to what a 16" one is, lop 3" off the barrel, add a stubby DPT and a dot sight.

    Yup a ruger 96/44 lever would be a cracking little project for one of these. Especially as the autos are like unicorn horn polish.

    Well I've just grabbed a set of .44 mag dies off the buy and sell section, so I guess it's a happening thing! Probably going single shot but the lever action is pretty tempting too. @Happy would you use the subs without earpro? Or not quite that quiet?

    Totally with pistol ammo no ear protection It’s not annoying at all The bang is way out in front of it

    Greenhills formula (think that's the correct spelling) will give you the right twist rate for weight. Just remember 44 mag is actually 41 caliber not .44
