I have one of his ones. They're quite nice. Easy to disassemble. Fairly quiet but I've never used anything else.

Is that the aluminium ECO model?
Are they easy to open up for cleaning?

Cheers for the intel boys, food for thought

No prob. Oil filter will be waiting for you at `The bay`

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

Tried quite a few on my rimfires. Always gone back to Gunworks. The best, simple

Ive got a couple but the best is probably the unique spring and baffle jobbie.

Hi, I would believe you have our DUAL rimfire suppressor? That is pretty much the quietest .22 suppressor in pistol use that is available.

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

Best Regards!

The steel Parker Hale ones are worth considering also.
Had one for thirty years and its still going strong.

Are both the ECO and Dual models easy to dissemble for cleaning?
How often do you recommend they are cleaned when shooting 22lr?

I have a Hushpower Braveheart which is very quiet. I don't know if it's the best, or if a cheaper one will work just as well because I haven't tried anything else. Next time, I'll track down an over-barrel rimfire suppressor. They do exist. Would be sweet on my 15inch barrel CZ.

I have one of these, quite slim and works really well.

Think I have one of your second model on my Marlin semi.
