That is fantastic work. I really like HS rimfires so this is a real treat to see. I would imagine bore alignment is critical given the several joints between breech and muzzle.
OP
I keep the threads tight tolerance which helps but the way the tube is tensioned with the baffle stack and the internal adjuster it really straightens everything out well. A bore rod runs very true.
Just finished putting this one together. Refinishing two tomorrow.
Just got back from test firing this one. Ive been buying , selling and building suppressors for 30+ years and Ive probably tried every .22 silencer design on the market. I build them because I love doing it and if you ask me the integral design utilizing a full length 4.5" barrel with 8 clipped indexed radial baffles where the first baffle is about 3/16" in front the muzzle has got to be the pinnacle for the type. Zero first round pop and the sound is magnificent. On par with the best stand alone silencers. I know some people like to build this type with super short or ported barrels and other nonsense but the full length barrel gives regular .22 performance and keeps even .22 mini mags subsonic. This one will get refinished tomorrow and put for sale but the design will be the archetype and every one I build going forward will be a copy.
Yeah, I like it.
Did this one this morning.
