Wanting a suppressor for a 22mag in 1/2x28.
What are peoples preferences?
What about your choice of suppressor though
Fair enough, I've had aimsport, gunworks and hushpro. They were all pretty good. I think the gunworks was the best of the 3 that was on a Remington 597 22lr .Quote:

Gun city’s Hushpower Works best for me
Pretty happy with my DPT. Helps they’re localish n don’t have to worry about mail order forms...

It’s not really a preference to be honest, but it seems to do the job.Quote:

Unfortunately you do when ordering online etc. You now require a license to own one.Quote:

Seems kinda a moot point, what possible reason could anyone without a license need to own a suppressor ? Agree the extra paperwork is rediculousQuote:

Their advert states:
"Lightweight design - an alloy body machined out of one solid alloy bar (the dense alloy material is also better for sound reduction than stainless steel).
30Cal- (10mm Hole) will do any non Magnum calibres 6mm through to 8mm. Like 243, 6.5x55, 270, 7mm-08, 308, 8mm. Thread size is 1/2 x 28 TPI..."
Yup, along with a stock a "butt" and magazine. All now require a firearms license.Quote:

My Hushpower Braveheat was great, although I only used it with 22LR. Sold it because I wanted an over-barrel suppressor and got a Hardy which is also good. If you're serious about noise control, then what about a centrefire suppressor?
My 7mm rem mag is factory threaded in 1/2 × 28, not the thread I would've chosen if I'd paid to get threaded but it seems to work just fine and I've never had any issues with it ???Quote:

Are you using with a brake or suppressor? If suppressor what make/type?Quote:

If someone is buying a rim fire suppressor. Do advise buy one that can be taken apart for cleaning, lot of people shoot 50 per visit thinking it’s not worth it cleaning, until the fifth time the carbon inside is like cemented shit, no gun oil not even sonic washer can dissolve it.
+1 for Braveheart suppressors. I'm upto 4k worth of rounds and still going strong.
As for a license to own parts and suppressors, that's just for mail order is it not??
Best advice is don't over-invest in a rimfire suppressor.Quote:

Alternatively buy up to a 223 suppressor.
Put a DPT suppressor on my 22 mag just recently . quietened it down a lot. Still loud but has lost the crack.
You say your not ment to store your gun with suppressor on ?
DPT for me. Swapped between 17hmr and 22.
Yeah, best to clean and separate silencers/suppressors from the firearm. They collect a lot of carbon deposits, and leaving it on a barrel, with the suppressor facing up, can eventually cause solid carbon deposits in your crown and barrelQuote:

A mail order form is just for the sender to verify you have a firearms license before they send you the firearm/parts. The new act states you can not be in possession of parts without a license or without direct supervision from a license holder.Quote:

Shit probably should have mentioned it's going on a semi. I'd like it to be able to deal with a reasonable volume of fire. Maybe a centre fire suppressor is a good option. Did I read somewhere that DPT can shorten the overbarrel section of their suppressors? I would like 75mm back, . I have 80.4mm from the muzzle to handguard. Shoulder is 11.8mm back from the muzzle. Dont really want to go muzzle forward if I go center fire.Quote:

Sorry for hijack however its related; ok to store rimfire with suppressor on? Or definitely off like centrefire?
Metal is metal and threads are threads.
They will still rust on or otherwise get locked into the thread.
Just store it off
