Thread: Rimfire suppressor and Rimfire specific scopes

I made a few suppressors from a short length of 40mm plastic plumbing pipe and 2 end caps. No internal baffles. Was a simple push fit on to barrel end.
Deadly quiet!
On my wee Martini you could aim at a target, fire the shot, and only hear a faint 'click' from the firing pin, then nothing until a 'thump' from the target showed you hit it (sighted in on a gum tree I didn't like).
I don't see how anyone can't make them that quiet these days.
Is it the metal can allowing the noise to come through?
I have a modern screw-on .22 suppressor that is meant to be an OK NZ made one (stuck it on my JW15), and it's way noisier than my plastic jobby (and yes...same ammo used).
