Thread: Slip on muzzle breaks?

Has anyone made these before. I was thinking for the .22lr (just for looks) but sadly I dont have access to a lathe anymore. would it blow off do you think? Or if it was made to a tight fit would it be ok.

You'd want at least a tap-on fit. I guess it depends if you ever want to take it off again?

Yeah I would probably want to take it off one day and get a suppressor on it but for now I was thinking a slip on muzzle break just to look cool.

Why oh why would you want a loudener on a 22lr, they are designed to reduce recoil, of which a 22lr has none.

for looks.....

Is this along the lines of putting a bloody great wing on the boot of your mums corolla even tho it drops 30kmh off the top speed, makes it understeer,and increases fuel consumption buy a third cool or what?

They just look cool and its only a .22lr so I want to see if I can use it, if it makes it too shitty I will just take it off, at least it gives me something to make.

Make something usefull on a 22lr.......A suppressor!

I was thinking of it, But I would need my barrel threaded. I wouldn't trust it if it was only slipped on over the end of the barrel. But muzzle breaks still look cool and I want to make one. Maybe for a slug gun then.

you dont to to thread your rifle to make a silencer i made my one to slip over the sleeve just needs to be slightly over size 0.02mm oil the blueing and put two grub screws though the sleeve. flatten the point of the grub screw so you dont mess up the blueing to badly. will post a pic after milking. it works very well just ask Dougie

If it does move off I will put a screw down the top so it holds, it can go into the screw that held the front sight on.

Personally I wouldn't put anything on the end of a barrel that hadn't been turned up on a lathe. If your shit isn't concentric, and the projectile strikes your brake you are in for a hell of a fright.

Anyone wanna give me a lathe? I might see if I can go back and use the one at school. Im pretty good mates with the teacher.

Toby you obviously have waayyy to much time on your hands. I suggest rather than a lathe you use a file.
