My first Multi caliber Can...
Hey y'all, newbie here to brag about my first suppressor build
It took me a really long time to get it all figured out and find odds and ends that fit to make it work, but in the end the assembly of it turned out really easy. Heres the build video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UuyaVnp93o |

Well done, both the silencer and the video.
For folks in the US, please remember you need to have an approved Form 1 BEFORE you assemble the silencer.

My best is an Omega made by SilencerCo....
Shoot everything from .22(dont reccomend personally), 4 7, .223, .243, .308, 300BLK, 300 Win Mag,...well basically ANYTHING from a 5.7 to a 300 Win Mag with no problems at all. It will also shoot all of these in full auto as long as the barrels are these lengths: .223 / 5.56 – 10″ 300 BLK – 8″ .308 Winchester – 16″ .300 Winchester Magnum – 20″ So far the best can and QUIESTEST can that I've ever shot out of a dedicated .223/5.56 or 30 cal can, and this can isn't a dedicated can. Also while we were shooting 300 BLK subs it WAS QUIETER than the MP5SD we had. |

Rim fire suppressors can be fairly simple and still be effective.
Some of the utoob stuff is pretty hokie and I don't even go there. |

I have a Harvester in jail which should (hope) will be a good multi-purpose can for me. Right now all I have are 204 up to 22-250, but I seem to be expanding my inventory just like my waistline. LOL

"I have a Harvester in jail which should (hope) will be a good multi-purpose can for me."
That's what I started with. While it's an improvement over open muzzle blast, it leaves a lot to be desired on a 22 caliber. On a 6.8 to .30, it does a decent job, if you can handle the length. |

Are you allowed to build your own silencer from scratch with the permit? And does it need
a serial number like when you build a gun from scratch? The only experience I had with a silencer was a GI model for m16. Where it came from I don't know but it had gone through several hands before I got it. The guys that had it prior to me were to dumb to know it needed subsonic ammo to work. After a few guys used standard ammo and full auto to boot it was burnt out before I got it. Unlike the movies silencers weren't general issue. Only the Special Ops guys & CIA had access to them and ammo. I only saw one the whole time I was over seas and never came up with the ammo. I saw a article some years later that a GI m16 silencer with no guts would silence a 22lr. It was written by a guy named Dater who I think designed the GI version. I'm not that interested in silencers but they would be really good for squirrel hunting with a 22. Here in Ohio I guess it's legal to use silencers while hunting. I know what they are and how they work but I think the average guy doesn't know the MV you have to sacrifice in order to use one. Speed of sound is about 1086 fps and that's about 1/3 of the velocity a lot of CFs are operating at. |

Even with super sonic ammo, the lack of muzzle blast changes the entire game animal response to a shot. The sonic signature of the bullet is still there but not the "boom". |

So when the military (and almost everyone else) suppresses their 5.56 rifles, they’re using supersonic ammo. You still get the supersonic crack, but the overall sound is much quieter. Even the very first centerfire rifle silencers designed by Maxim were intended for use with supersonic ammo. If that silencer you’re talking about was shot out it was either because they shot too many rounds through it too quickly, or because the silencer simply had reached the end of its service life: Every shot from a centerfire rifle erodes a silencer’s internals a little bit and eventually the performance is degraded. This usually takes many thousands of rounds, though.
