Thread: Best rim fire suppressor

They were marketed direct from me (WCG, Woods Custom Guns) and also by Winchester. The second model had three rolled baffles and a spring in a 28mm tube, sold direct from me and also Gun City. The first model was equal to the Parker Hale suppressor, but the second model was even better and was the quietest .22 muzzle can you could get. Firing in an open area gave nothing but the sound of the firing pin.

@gundoc just the straight tube. Done well with the rolling as I'd have guessed they were machined although that would've been a waste of material. Spring at the fore-end to take the shock up like a shock absorber.
If I was a bit lax at cleaning I sometimes had to, in a controlled manner of course, fire a round though it partially disassembled to get the last chamber out. It was an alloy jobbie and I was worried about garking the crap out of it and the tube.
As posted very happy with it and it would be nice to compare to my recently built ones. a bit longer as mine were mid over barrel ones, but a lot lighter as mine were all steel not alloy like the other one.
If I'd built a spare one id sent it to phillipo free as. Only cost him a beer next time he's down with ryan 270.
Ill have to have a count up-there might be one but as said a little heavy
