I have been working on a suppressed 357 magnum rifle project for a while now. To be honest its still not done but its coming along nicely. The first thing I did was change out the trigger spring for a lighter spring. The trigger is now 3LBS. I also put a shim in the bolt to help with accuracy.
The next thing I did was I put a peep sight on the rear sight in order to change out the 10/22 style factory sight.
The next thing I did was I got the barrel cut back to 16.25 inches and threaded in 1/2X28 and had a new replaceable fiber-optic front sight installed.
I then took of the recoil pad and replaces it with a slip on limb saver in order to allow for stirring items in the butt stock. So far I have the extra lamps for the front sight, and a few Allen wrenches for working on the gun in the butt stock.
Then I came up with a few loads to shoot. For the heavy subsonic loads it likes the 250 grain Hunters choice bullets over power pistol at 1050FPS. It also likes the 35893 molded spire points but loaded a bit faster.
What do I still plan on doing to it? I plan on getting the stock painted in Digital winter camouflage. I plan to Install a silver Leupold scope on it with a CDS dial and Finally I have a suppressor on order. It is a Liberty Mystic X (In silver)
Once done ill post a finished product picture.
