How often do you recommend they are cleaned when shooting 22lr?

Hi, the ECO is much simpler in design with only three parts.

However we do recommend taking both models apart after a few hundred rounds. Also as people know, some rimfire ammunition produce more fouling than others.

Had one for thirty years and its still going strong.

MAE .22 suppressor is also good.

I have used both with .17hmr and they work well.

You cant beat steel.

@Tuukka
How are they disassembled? A threaded end cap that contains the inner parts?
What products do you recommend to clean the internals with?

@Philipo what you going with?

I'm about to buy one. Was just thinking a Gunworks jobbie.

Our new ECO model is pretty good, on rifle barrels it is equal to the DUAL, but loses several dB on the pistol.

Yeah mate, I have the DUAL rimfire, best quality rimfire suppressor on the market, a little pricey but anyone who says another 22lr suppressor is more effective probably hasn't tried it. Its biggest downside is it's on the weighty side for a rimfire can.

most rimfire suppressors work very well, almost equally well because rimfire are not that loud in the first place. Beyond a certain point, additional few db noise reduction makes no practical difference.

What does set rimfire suppressors apart, in my view, are three things:

1. how easy is it to clean - this is the biggest issue because most rimfire ammos are quite dirty and you will shot huge numbers. Average owner of centrefire can would shoot maybe 50 rounds, average rimfire can owners will shoot 1000 easy. I have shot maybe 10,000s through my cans. I clean them after every 1000 or so, there are obvious carbon build-ups inside. On this front, sealed cans are no go territory for me.

2. light weight. I want my hunting rimfire rifle to be light. Most rimfire cans are fairly light, but choice of materials still means some are lighter than others. My fav can is a Bunny Buster (they closed shop) which uses aluminium for the core and carbon for the cylinder. Excellent design, very light.

3. longevity. Most rimfire cans are built far weaker than centrefire cans, and for most part they can get away with it. But after 1,000s of rounds, weaker cans do go bust. When they go bust slowly it will affect accuracy, other times they could explode and cause a fright. It however does not appear to be dangerous, at least I never heard of anyone being injured when their rimfire can blows.

Yeap , the steel & SS , AU can is the best I have used a far as sound suppression , to take apart just unscrew the front cap , and slide out the bent stainless steel washers/spacers , and use a drill bit when you re assemble to keep the stack correct , they are a slanted stamped piece of SS .

Flip flop, you said you were running your fancy Anshutz RX .22 didn’t you?
So you are never going to match the suppressed bolt action .22s for quietness.

I might try my budget mae mighty mouse tomorrow ill let you know how it goes

Q. Do you challenge what Mr Woods has said about the discharge of the firearm.

A. [Crown expert] Aah no. I did not consider that. Mr Woods conclusions are certainly valid.

Dad runs gunworks on his 10/22 on fulltime pest control and at a guess that rifle has probably done at least 20,000+ rounds without having the can apart

I have one of the 3" gunworks ones they produced for a short while its just a simple design and not as efdective as some others on supers but still silences subs and I have had it on every 22 I have owned for about the past 7 or 8 years and again its never been apart probably had 8-10,000 rounds through it by now

Well rhe mae mighty mouse worked just as well as any of the others ive used all you hear is the click of the firing pin

I reckon a good test of 22lr suppressors is to see how quiet a gun is with semi auto and standard velocity ammo, subsonic and a bolt action is hardly a test of a suppressors limits.

Yeah bro, you'll right about that. Still funny as the HRE suppressor on my Anshutz is the size of a porn stars dick ( 300mm or 12" in porn language ) maybe the stories are true that size doesn't matter, does suit the rifle though. I think from memory Dan did a run of em just for those rifles.
