I have a Marlin 1894 in 38/357 and had a thought of threading the barrel and adding a 9mm suppressor. Anyone ever do this or see a suppressed lever action?
It depends on the can. A super-strong can with stainless steel baffles like the Octane 9 will be fine with .357, but I'd check with the manufacturer before shooting it through a can with aluminum baffles like the Ti-Rant or the Osprey. And keep in mind a .357 carbine will have less muzzle blast than normal due to the longer barrel, so that will put less pressure on the suppressor than the same round out of a shorter barrel.Beretta686 said:I have no idea about running .357 magnum rounds through a 9mm can though. That may be a bit too much pressure for the can.
A suppressed, supersonic .357 carbine will still be a lot quieter when suppressed. Sure, subsonic is the only way to get close to the classic "Hollywood quiet" sound, and with pistol rounds the goal when shooting suppressed is usually to use subsonic ammo, but shooting a suppressor with supersonic ammo is far from pointless.comn-cents said:I would only shoot 38spl through it. 357 is going to break the sound barrier so what's the point.
the right to use legally owned suppressors while hunting game animals.
