My New 22/45 Lite with Can

[Rafsob]

I thought I would show my new Lite 22/45:

Shooting this rig is a hoot!

That would have to be a lot of fun. Good luck with it...

Looks Great!

Have you shot it with the can on yet? My 22/45 Lite and my SWR Spectre do not play well together. Even though everything appears to line up perfectly, and the can baffles don't show any bullet strikes, I get bullets keyholing at 25 yards sometimes and accuracy is rather poor. I think it is due to the fact that the barrel is not actually threaded, only the barrel retaining nut is threaded. When I put my Spectre on my standard 22/45 with a threaded steel barrel it shoots amazinly well....

Sorry to hear that my friend. I am experiencing the exact opposite. I am having great time with my accuracy. I found that my gun likes the Velocitor bullets. Accuracy is spot on. I also see no evidence of excessive leading in the baffles.

Single-Sixer, which can is it and how much did it cost?

 

[Rafsob]

My can is a silencerco Sparrow. The can cost $450+ $200 tax.

That looks like it would be a lot of fun to shoot. I'm jealous.

Way fun! Glad the gun and can are such a hoot. I have the 22/45 Lite....have not done the paperwork yet.

are these cans Hollywood quiet (fffft, fffft) or more like firing sub-sonic 22 shorts/cb rounds from a long barreled rifle?

 

[JD2]

22 cans themselves are very quiet, even "Hollywood" quiet, however the bolt slamming back and forth does make additional noise that you notice more than the sound of the actual shot..... Oh, and the sound of the actual bullet hitting the target is suprisingly loud too......
