I have built 2 different uppers for my AR. One is a 10.5" and the other is 16" and both are 1:9 twist. I was out playing around at my brother's place and for some reason the 16" was louder than the 10.5". Why would that be?
 
Re: .22 suppressor on different rifles

Are you shooting subsonics? If not the round may be subsonic from the 10 and supersonic from the 16
 
Re: .22 suppressor on different rifles

I used CCI stingers, CCI standard velocity, Remington subsonics, and Aguila super colibris
 
Re: .22 suppressor on different rifles

What suppressor were you using.

Also, are your two uppers identical, besides the obvious difference in barrel length?
 
Re: .22 suppressor on different rifles

Its an SRT typhoon. The only difference is the receiver themselves, the 10 is a YHM with an American Spirit barrel and the 16 is American Spirit on both the barrel and receiver
 
Re: .22 suppressor on different rifles

That was my thought too. I guess I'll stick with the 10 until I can get my manufacturing license
