Best Suppressor?

[x10x10]

Huntertown Arms - Suppressors for everyone - warrantied beyond life

I've owned a Huntertown Guardian for about 3 yrs and have been very happy, I get an occasional first round pop but both ends unscrew and the baffles come out for cleaning, A little neversieze never hurts,

Is it the Best ?
What is the best?
This got me into the Class3 world, I have fun with it. I would buy another. The company stnads behind the product even when it may not be their fault. The offer upgrades.

Some friends have gemtech and they are great. but I can't tell any difference between the 2 at the range

agree with above, and the HT has a lifetime warranty. The actually answer the phone when you call also! FRP is not an issue to me and i'm a hunter. the animal still cannot pinpoint the direction of fire the round came from.
the only thing a can is doing when you hunt, let's say using a 5.55, is eliminating the origin/hide/stand of the hunter. it will still give off the sonic crack once it breaks the sound barrier.
on the 15-22, all the bunnies i've taken with it don't seem to mind the FRP, they still sit there or they DRT!

Just bought my SWR Specter II. Now, the wait...

Congrats. The wait is worth it!

You're gonna love suppressed plinking.

The best thing to do now is completely forget you bought it. Go buy yourself a new gun to play with

Or at least thats the way I deal with it. I figure it's a Win/Win

 

[WilliamG]

Thanks, guys. I'm excited to get it, a long time from now.

I'm going to forget about it by picking up a brushed chrome Desert Eagle .50 AE with the muzzle brake. My LGS can get a new one for me for $1,579, which sounds like a good price to me.

Aw hell, I'm broke, but still... want... one....

I went a different way on mine. I got some YHM QD adapters for my 5.56 ARs and one for my 15-22.

From what you wrote, you are using 22 rimfire through a sealed centerfire can? Not worried about filling up the can? Just curious. Be Safe,

I'm wanting to get my suppressor permanently attached to the barrel and cut a section of the barrel off to make the barrel + suppressor = 16" barrel.

Any suggestions on where I can have this done? Or if there's a Barrel that will work with this? Ideas?

Cutting and rethreading a barrel should be 'standard' for most decent gunsmiths.

How are you proposing to clean the suppressor if it is permanently attached to the barrel, unless you are thinking of having an integrally suppressed rifle? Are you anticipating only pinning the outer shell and still being able to access the baffles from the front of the can?

Come on now... You know what I'm attempting. Yes... An integrally suppressed rifle. The suppressor will act as part of the barrel. It can be disassembled and cleaned... Just not removed.

Perhaps it's semantics.

An integrally suppressed barrel has holes cut into the barrel.

Pinning a suppressor to a barrel does not make it integral (IMO); there is no rifling in a screw-on suppressor. From an NFA perspective, it avoids the SBR moniker, but so do pinned flash suppressors and muzzle breaks.

If you are thinking about buying a can then somehow pinning it to the muzzle that isn't integrally suppressed. What that is...is an idea you might want to rethink.

To answer your original question. There is no aftermarket barrel for the 1522 that I have heard about. Shortening the barrel is something that is regularly done. One of our Forum members, Belt_Fed, can do and as well as a host of other companies. Of course to permanently attach a can to the muzzle would require the upper too because once that can is on the muzzle that's it, your upper reciever is also permanently attached at that point. I'd rethink it before I permanently dedicated a rimfire can to a gun. Not sure what take apart can would even work for such a thing. What can are you buying?

Not true. The suppressor I am wanting to attach is small enough to slide the barrel but over it to attach/detach the handguard and barrel from the upper receiver. The barrel shroud I have on now (fake can) is larger than the suppressor I am buying and it isn't removed to pull the handguard. Granted, the barrel nut doesn't slide over it, but the handguard, once detached from the barrel nut, will slide off... allowing for the barrel nut to be removed (just slid up the barrel) as well as the barrel to be removed from the receiver. The Tacticool22 adapter stays with the receiver. The supressor I am getting is just shy of the same diameter of the flash hider... Again, which doesn't have to be removed to pull the handguard.

Maybe I should explain it again with the knowledge that the stock OEM handguard is not on the weapon and will no longer be used.

I want to cut the barrel down to affix a suppressor to the end. Thereby extending a shortened barrel back to 16" (including the suppressor). To avoid registering the weapon as an SBR, the can must be permanently attached, or a shroud should be attached permanently that would allow for a suppressor to be inserted when needed (the shroud would be the extension of the barrel).

I've seen it done similarly on .223s, 10/22s, etc. I'm looking at the Advanced Armament PILOT.

Also, I am hearing that it is about to become harder to get a suppressor because the "get your local sheriff to sign off on it" is going to become mandatory. When it does, at least in Louisiana, they are anticipating the ability to actually GET a suppressor will be next to impossible.

The only reason I can see not to permanently attach the suppressor is so that I could use it on my Walther P22.

Actually... all I really want is for the suppressor to recess inside the handguard. Right now the handguard is 11.8"... the factory OEM handguard is 10". Either way, if I add the suppressor, it will be on the tip of the barrel protruding from the tip of the handguard.

.

Huh? A standard A2 flash hider is about 7/8in diameter and is too large to slip through the barrel nut or reciever. The AAC Pilot is 1in diameter. I don't know of any cans smaller than an inch. Like I said, once that suppressor is on permanently the barrel and receiver are not separating. Maybe not a big deal to ya but it's something to be aware of.

Whatever can you got you'd have to drag the baffle(s) out from front and no way push it out.

In general, it sounds like creating more problem than it's worth. Id suggest getting a can and threading it on SBR for the configuration you're wanting.

First off, IF 41p comes to pass, it won't likely be in June of 2014. BAFTE has to individually respond to all 10k+ comments. From what I've heard, that alone will take a year. I've also heard that the BAFTE, for as much as they do not like trusts for NFA items, don't like 41P either. Of course, both of the above comments are hearsay, from one of my FFL who beta-tested the eFile system. So, take it for what it's worth.

Second, if you want an integrally suppressed 15-22 where the handguard partially covers the suppressor, then have your upper sent of to get it integrally suppressed.

Funny thing is, there was an active thread on this just this week:
http://smith-wessonforum.com/smith-wesson-m-p-15-22/360382-thinking-getting-integral-suppressor.html

The cost differential between having your existing barrel cut and threaded plus the suppressor vs getting it integrally suppressed is likely negligable.

How about something like this:

AR22 .22LR Conversion » Tactical Solutions

The SBX version has a 12 inch barrel with a pinned/welded shroud for a suppressor. This upper will NOT fit the 15-22, but just an idea to keep overall barrel length 16" and still be able to remove the can for cleaning.
