Super Secret Silent 10/22....

[Speed3]

Well I got the barrel switched out last night and the new stock on. Took a bit to line it up right and had to run a mag through it to get it to run right. Ran two full 10 rnd mags through it after that with no issues using CCI 22LR Standard Velocity.

Next is the Bi-Pod and rail for the scope.

Looks nice....wonder if it will cycle with subsonics?

Good question. Will be testing several types of ammo I have laying around. Will add any subsonic I have and post results here.

Just like picking which ammo has the best accuracy in any particular gun, you have to try them. My brother's 10/22's and my Marlin 60's are all over the place on which subsonic they will cycle and which ones they won't. My old Remington Nylon 66 cycles every .22lr I've ever tried in it except Remington "Quiet". I've bought a spare Marlin60 spring to make a light spring that might cycle a few rounds of Quiet before it hangs up. Shooting Quiet out of my big bad .22 bolt gun is quieter than my Crosman pellet gun. Not even Pfffftt ... just ffffft

My breakin and initial shooting was with CCI Standard velocity. They were as quiet as my sons Red Ryder Daisy BB Gun (no compass in the stock). I was told that this barrel will suppress even the high velocity bulk pack stuff from Walmart. We shall see. Once I have a list of all the various types of ammo I have to test with I will list it all out and with any luck I will test them this weekend. Stay tuned folks.

OK so here are the various types of ammo I will test out with this 10/22 build:

Remington 22 Thunderbolt
Remington 22 Golden Bullet High Velocity
CCI Subsonic
CCI Standard Velocity
Federal Bulk Pack 36Grn HP
Aguila 10Grn High Velocity

Will let you know how all this feeds.

Nice setup, but why the low end scope?

Just a plinker. Wanted something with some power but not too expensive if I damage it. For now it will do.

I've been looking at those Thompson Machine barrels since my first suppressor purchase.

They're so tempting... Especially now that I have a lot more threaded 22lr rifles and pistols.

I'm getting a drop of 5 to 7 inches at only 7 yds when I use my Sparrow. Using CCI standard velocity. Does not seem right to me. Any thoughts or should I contact Silencerco? This is on SR22, MkIII 22/45. and 10/22. All factory barrels.

Clean everything first. I mean everything...

Where are you located?

Is your 22Sparrow and Mod1(Aluminum and 7") or Mod2(Stainless and 6")?

I had issues with mine when it was in a Mod1 configuration. Sent it back for an upgrade. Works MUCH better.

[campns]

Nice but two questions anyone know of a local shop that will remove the front sight, move and thread the barrel? This would be worth the $$ to me.

have been thinking of doing this, maybe with an Tactical Innovations Reciver anyone ever play with this?

I have been seriously thinking of getting the new ruger american 22lr bolt gun and threading that.

 

[ar15dave]

Well after the stock swapout and the install of the suppressed barrel the new rifle has almost NO weight to it. I add a 6-9" harris bi-pod. Will put my scale to it and see what we come up with. Could not install optics yet as I need to install the rail for it. Unfortunately I dont have a small enough screwdriver on hand (mine seems to have walked off). Will stop by hardware store this weekend and get another set. Will post pics as soon as I can.

Dave

 

[ar15dave]

Well I weighed the rifle last night. Without the bi-pod it weighed in at 4.8lbs. Very light. With the bi-pod it weighed in at 5.5lbs. I was surprised that the rifle felt heavy with the bi-pod on. Will get the scope on next and take a couple of snapshots.

Anyone know if there is any way to make the Thompson suppressed barrel will work with the HTA 90/22 bullpup kit?

IIRC, The Thompson Machine barrel is 17" and the HTA bullpup kit requires an 18" barrel, or it's shorter than 26" OAL.

You are correct sir. I was just curious if anyone knew of a butt pad for the kit or maybe if Thompson Machine could make the baffle end cap on the end of the barrel any longer.

I suppose this may be a question for either HTA or Thompson or both.

One could add 1" of something to the buttstock permanently with screws. That's what I'd do.

Probably what I'll end up doing. Sorry for hijacking the thread ar15dave. The rifle looks great and thank you for introducing me to the Thompsom barrel! I blame you for quite possibly pulling me into the NFA world. Lol
