Thread: Which rimfire suppressor?

+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??

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.

What are peoples preferences?

Best advice is don't over-invest in a rimfire suppressor.

A Stealth 22lr/22M/17HMR will set you back $29.00.

Alternatively buy up to a 223 suppressor.

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.

We have a mini over barrel suited to upto a 308, that comes back 95mm over the barrel. We dont have a shorter option.

Its not listed as its a custom product. Its the same price as the non magnum over barrel. Email office@dpt.co.nz if you’d like more info or if you’d like to buy one.

the closest one for your case is the hardy overbarrel rimfire 80mm back from the muzzle end. too bad its a one piece. dpt has more than 100m over barrel, despite it can be shorten, the threaded end is smaller in dia, when its on still look like a distance from hand guard, id been mucking around with it, ended up chopping the barrels to suit.

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 ?

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 barrel
Also when you have steel and alloys (or just different metals), in contact with each other, you have the potential for galvanic corrosion – especially if the rifle is wet or storage is damp. Given time his might lead to so much corrosion you end up having to cut the suppressor off, and your barrel down.

DPT for me. Swapped between 17hmr and 22.

Last Dpt i went direct because of price difference in local shop.(17hmr) Other dpt i brought when i purchased a new rifle so i told them to match your online price. Pin in the arse when you live rural dealing with paper work

Thanks for the advice everyone. Bugger about the DPT being 95mm minimum I'd have been all over that. The hardy is just a bit too close for my liking and its pretty steep for a rimfire suppressor.

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
