Very cool (and something that I could never have in NY) I imagine that it will be similar to popping off cb caps.
I forget who made them,(or still makes them?) but a company offered them with a barrel where the suppressor was built into a full length shroud.

 

Next in line for this mod is one of my Grade II Belgians.....just kidding!

Semi-autos generally don't suppress quite as well as bolt actions for example, but with the bottom eject, the SA-22 should be pretty decent.

This particular rifle that I bought brand new is still a little finicky with both subsonic and HV ammo, and I am hoping that after a higher round count it will continue to improve reliability wise. Suppressed subsonic should provide a good balance of blowback pressure, and with it being suppressed I will be able to put even more rounds through it. The majority of the firearms that both my shooting partner and I typically bring to the rifle range are suppressed, so we are quite often operating without ear pro until we need the line to go "loud" versus "quiet".

I did a search on integrally suppressed SA-22s, and came across a vid of one from ARMTAC. When I checked their website, I couldn't find the product though, so maybe they only prototyped it without going into full production?

 

Nice, but like camster said, not something we can have in NY, unless i want bubba for a cell mate for the rest of my life!

 

NY



I feel for you guys. I used to have to travel to NY for business. I wouldn't live there for a million dollar salary.

 

I don't recall the name of the company.There were doing ATDs and 10/22s.

 

Found that vid a while back, ARMTAC

If I wasn't in CA I'd be chasing that. Not sure whether it can accommodate optics tho and you'd be losing irons too

The suppressed SA-22 ran really great today. It was quite windy for rimfire, but still an awful lot of fun, and nice to not need ear pro.

As I was hoping would be the case, suppressed subsonic was more reliable than either subsonic or HV unsuppressed...sort of a Goldilocks type thing.

I have only found one problem so far; this carbine is hungry! I ran through nearly a brick before I realized it.

SC-Texas will hopefully post the vid before too many days pass.

 

Here it is.
