Hey all. New to the forums here, so I figured I would seek out some information from the vast numbers of users.
In a couple weeks I'm looking to make my first suppressor purchase, or at least, to start the lengthy process and put myself in constant agony waiting the 8 months it's going to take. But anyways, I wanted to go the .22LR route simply because of how ridiculously quiet they are suppressed, and I just enjoy the .22LR round. I still haven't quite decided for sure whether I'm going to match it up to a pistol or a rifle, but I am leaning more toward a rifle. I've been looking around for a good, preferably semi-auto rifle with a heavier barrel that comes factory with a threaded barrel, but I haven't had much luck in that regard. Savage has a semi-auto .22LR with a threaded barrel from the factory, but I'm not a huge fan of the Savage .22 LR rifles. I really liked the Ruger American Rimfire .22LR, but, it's a bolt action (which is tolerable, but I would much prefer a semi-auto).. So, it looks like I'm probably going to have to purchase a Ruger 10/22 Target model and send out the barrel to a good threading service.
Does anybody know of a really good threading service? I really want top quality work and will spare no expense in that regard. I noticed when I was looking at some services online, one of the companies featured a barrel showing their work, and I really liked the way it was done, as the thread protector matched the barrel identically, barely a visible seam. I liked the clean look, but it's not necessary so long as the company provides a good service, but it was something I was interested in if the company offered the option. But either way, I'm perfectly fine with a regular ole' knurled thread protector, like you'll commonly see on threaded barrels.
So, do anybody have any advice for me? Information on some good services available?
For any who are interested, the suppressor that I've decided on is the Dead Air Mask HD. I've seen quite a few review and comparison videos on it and I was really impressed. I figured I would throw that information out there as well in case anybody had any valuable insight for me as far as that's concerned. Also, what is everyone's experience with suppressing .22LR pistols? Any good recommendations should I decide to go that route? I know the selection is smaller, but I'll take all the advice and information I can get. I've decided that if I go the pistol route, I want to pick up the Ruger Mark IV 22/45 Lite. I know they have a couple different models, different colors and different barrel designs, but I haven't seen a whole bunch of the older designs available. I did like the green model with the slotted barrel cuts, but I'm quite fine with the current model that's displayed on Ruger's site with the copper color and that barrel design.
