How hard is it to move a suppressor from a pistol to a rifle?
It's a matter of unscrewing from one gun and screwing on to another.

Unfortunately, the Ruger 10/22 doesn't have a model with a threaded barrel
They do occasionally make some. They have a "tactical" model with a flash suppressor with a 1/2x28 pitch.

I take that to mean that threads are not standardized across barrels and suppressors?
With some guns and/or calibers, there's some confusion. However, 1/2x28 is the standard for every .22 I've seen.

In terms of wet vs. dry, it's hard to say. Some of the Gemtech cans I've shot are very efficient dry, while some of the older wet cans aren't so hot. The biggest difference seems to be in "first round pop," in which excess oxygen is burnt off with the first round fired through a can.

As far as decibel ratings, it's hard to say. There are so many variables of barrel length, powder, and velocity that the numbers are either a) taken from a specific gun and load, or b) an average.
