All:
I've owned suppressors for over a decade - centerfire pistol, submachine gun, and rifle. Years ago, I experimented with an AAC Pilot gen 1. I was looking for a can that would not harm the accuracy of my custom tack-driver 10/22. The Pilot adversely affected accuracy of this gun (but this was almost 10 years ago) and I believe this was because of its size, efficiency, and turbulence inside the tiny can.
My goal is noise reduction similar to top suppressors in this class, no loss in accuracy of host firearm, disassembly for cleaning, and machine gun rating - I have an LM7 for my M16.
Size is not all that important to me - I have a Walther P22 but don't really care if the .22 can isn't itty bitty like they all are today.
Now I'm thinking about Form 1'ing a .22 can that will be a little bigger than most current .22 cans - possibly as big as 1.25x6 - but maybe 1.0x7 or somewhere in between. I have a friend who used to be Class 2, and he can make the can while I stand there and watch him after I get the Form 1 back. He has some great designs that can be scaled up or down to suit my needs.
But...is there a commercially-available can that will suit my needs - as quiet as any, no loss in accuracy, disassemble-able for cleaning, and large volume full-auto capable?
TIA
