    I tried it on the existing barrel and the original barrel it came with they were both miles out probably explains the accuracy problems I was having

    Check your head space to make sure your brass isn't to short Make sure its not over gassing, it most likely is with the suppressor & no adjustable gas block.

    .22 supersonic reaches full velocity in about 16" of barrel, and becomes measurably slower after about 24". I would think 9-10" would give subsonic velocity with hi-speed ammo. At that length you...

    Excellent. I don't particularly want a very short barrel but am cutting the "big fat bit" off the end of a Toz to put a suppressor on. Looks like the plain old sub will do the trick.

    The problem as I see it with this idea & the ported/suppressed barrels that make supers subs is there is no going back. If you ever want to shoot supers you can't. I believe subsonic ammo has...

    Sounds like the sort of thing mudgripz would have tried. The nzrimfire page doesn't get used much, but is still there. Lots of good info. Also try rimfirecentral
