Thread: Which rimfire suppressor?

Hopefully that gets somewhere.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

@DPT That's a real bugger I just bought one of your normal OB Cans! I would have been keen for one of those....

Its not a run of the mill product, its not as effective as our standard over barrel. We only made it for short barrels that couldn’t accept our standard over barrel. I would not suggest our mini over barrel if you barrel is long enough to accept the standard one.

Hey @DPT, thanks for the reply - does what you say still go for cartridges that are 08 case based and smaller? for example My 2 rifles are a 308 and .223.

Yes, unless your barrel is to short to take our standard over barrel there is absolutely no benefit going with the mini over barrel. The mini is louder than the standard

Interesting thread. I've recently bought both the DPT mini and the Hardy rimfire suppressor for different guns. Both look awesome, but I haven't put a single round through either yet, so can't report back.
