1. I have a ruger mark 2, .22 LR one inch by five point five inch bull barreled shooter... : ... should I have the front sight removed or pushed back and the barrel threaded ? do I need to change the slide stop to prohibit semi auto fire to deaden the sound more if I want it really quiet with long rifle ammo ? will I need to use slower than standard speed with that barrel for full suppression of the sound ? is there a table comparing different cans and guns equally against one another to see what sound suppression results for x amount of dollars, etc. ? would it be better just to get another barrel or gun that would allow me to shoot the can with other 22s like bolt, semi autos etc ? if it is a big deal to mill and thread the larger OD barrel I can just replace that as I can get a small diam. barrel or complete gun on the cheap .. no big deal..
2. I want to suppress my 45 auto Kimber .. am I looking for trouble or is the neilsen adaptor /booseter well worked out and effective for semi auto fire with standard fmj factory loadings ? does the semi auto set up for the 45 prohibit the same can from adapting to a 45 single shot, revolver, etc ? I am confused about the neilsen booster thing and its relation to the can etc. causing a problem with adapting to other non-semi weapons.
3. ? Can I use one can for each of the following groups by getting the barrels milled to the same size on the muzzle end and choosing a thread pattern for all of them ?
PURPOSE : I want to use one suppressor on several large bore single shot contender and encore single shot rifle and pistol cartridge barrels arranged in groups ?? :
(GROUP ONE : )I have barrels for .358 winch./ 35 rem./ 308/ as one similar group ( I am assuming I can use one can for all of those if I thread them or get the right adaptor ??? ) my concern is : the contour of the barrels are sporter weight, and most are slightly different than each other...I do not want separate barrels for can use and unsuppressed use in this application.. I already have scopes, etc. on each of these and plenty of ammo and components...
(group two ) with my encore frame, for a long, but pistol length large bore : one barrel that chambers and shoots 454 casull -45colt- 460 S&W the slugs are the same size but I will use much different velocity loadings at times ( I can/will load the 45 at subsonic velocity and use the other two calibers in the same barrel only for heavy whoppers at high speed like 250 or 350 gr. at 1800-2200fps or a little more IIRC>>
(group three) : and finally a few barrels that are for 223 ( long gun and pistol )the only problem there is the different contours from one half inch to light sporter weights.. (unless I can shoot the 22 mag and 22 short with the same can, then I will thread or put adapters on those also... ) is the can to be used with 223 and 22 long rifle have to be larger, longer and more expensive to do the high power double duty? would you suggest a light small pistol can for 22 rimfire and a separate can for 223 ?
thanks.. I know this is a lot but I am likely to make a move on all this once I gather more Intel than I have at the moment and I do trust you guys to have experienced opinions..
If I can do multiple weapon duty with a few cans; I will start with three : 308 group/ 22 group/ and 45 group... the 22 will need to be the most silent for urban useage... the 45 will be for various usages but may be used inside a dwelling or building for defensive deployment on the 1911 and subsonic with the 45 colt loadings but full house with the 454 /460 smith rounds on rare occasions by comparison .... the 308 group will be used only in the field planned for primarily full house loadings for hunting quietly as possible while protecting my hearing and maintaining a lower profile than unsuppressed;
Another question : if the round is not going to be subsonic in most cases (308) will I need to spend significantly more / use a larger can / etc.??
if the round is going to be subsonic almost always : (45 cal.) will a smaller lighter can do the job than if I was using a hotter round all the time ?
if the can is going to be used for mostly suppressed 22 rimfire use but to tone down 223 report on occasions... will the 22 rimfire cans work/suppress the 223 or will I need a 223 can to use it on that rifle round and then just deal with the extra weight on the pistols and rifles in rimfire I will mostly shoot it on ?
thanks..
if I should have broken this into many smally questions over several days please forgive me.. I am full of questions and expect to sell some stuff to arrange for my suppressor collection so have planning and education to glean to launch this effort right.
