My plans for a suppressor for the AK fell through due to technical problems (it wouldnt actually be quiet due to gas system) and I decided to make a dedicated subsonic suppressed rifle instead. The goal is minimum sound but good power in a subsonic round.
The choices below are what I came up with at work while daydreaming during compiles. Please share more ideas if you come across any. Also, if anyone has a lead on a rhineland arms 45 kit or a camp carbine, I would jump at a chance to buy it off you.
Caliber choices are:
45 ACP: cheap, subsonic, heavy, tons of mags available for it
45 Long Colt: same as 45 ACP, but rimmed
458 SOCOM: like 45 ACP but 3x the bullet mass and 3x the price per round.
I am torn between doing a semiauto carbine and doing a bolt action carbine. Choices are:
-camp carbine semiauto in 45 ACP with integral can.
-enfield with 45 ACP + 1911 mag conversion and integral can.
-Mech Tech 1911 carbine conversion with integral can.
-AR15 upper in 45 ACP with integral can
-AR15 upper in 458 SOCOM with integral can
-custom bolt gun in 458 socom with integral can
The AR upper options and the custom bolt gun options would be pricey. The enfield plus conversion would be under 300. Camp carbines used to be under 200 now they are like 600 on gunbroker (****ty). Integral suppressor for any of these barrels would be just under 700. I'm aiming for 110-120 decibels.
