Thread: Anyone suppressed their 45/70?

Thinking of how a suppressor would go on the Marlin 45/70, anyone done it, was it worthwhile and what suppressor and thread did you use?

its definately been done but with that big hole in the end wont ever get to whisper quiet..there was thread on it a couple of years ago

Thanks Mickey, I’ll try and look it up. Yeah I know it won’t be that quiet but they cut the recoil down significantly too ay. Enjoying this new ‘thing’ that’s grabbed me👍

if you play with loads,the recoil just isnt a thing with the big round...no need for dinosaur slaying loads for goats or tin cans etc.... that huge hunk of lead just keeps trundling along happily even at slower speeds. until you get into bottom of top tier of loads...something above 45grns of 2208 with 405grn...the recoil is more of a shove than a boot..and black powder feels like mild .410 shotgun load.

Awesome, thanks Kiwi.bloke...bit of reading ahead of me.

wouldn't that be like trying to use a sledgehammer quietly

Your not using enough BP and your projectiles a bit light?

65grns and 405grn projectiles.....

A suppressor will definitely tame the beast.

500grs of lead over 12gr ish of trailboss
