All. I have a really old suppressor manufactured by Johnathan Arthur Ceiner way back in the 80s. It is integral with a "stub" barrel of a High Standard 22 long rifle pistol. The barrel starts at about a 1" diameter "bull barrel", but is machined right down to a tiny soda straw underneath the suppressor tube. The suppressor tube engages the 1" "bull barrel" in some unknown way.
I have taken the baffles out twice for cleaning since I bought the thing, maybe 1991 or 2. All of the baffles come out except one, all the way at the back of the suppressor, even with the muzzle of the stub barrel. The one that doesn't come out seems to serve a dual purpose.
One purpose is as a sort of spacer for the other baffles. It is maybe an inch or a little more of dead space before the first baffle. The other purpose is as a sort of block for another chamber located behind it.
The stub barrel is maybe an inch inch and a half long, and has many holes longitudinally drilled in it, so that as a bullet is still in the bore of the barrel, engaging the rifling, gasses are bled out behind it to lower its velocity. Surrounding the stub barrel is a dead space which is closed off at the muzzle of the barrel by this same baffle/spacer I cannot figure out how to get out.
I also cannot figure out how to remove the suppressor from the barrel, thinking as I do that perhaps if I can get the tube off the barrel for a moment, I may be able to clean out that dead space located around the stub barrel.
The suppressor has a rather robust grub screw in a threaded hole which transverses the tube and engages the barrel underneath it. I have been able to remove the grub screw without a lot of difficulty, thinking maybe it held that one stubborn baffle/spacer in place, or that it kept the tube from unscrewing from the barrel. But neither will the baffle come out, nor can I unscrew the tube from the stub barrel.
Is it likely threaded on there and just stubborn, needing some Kroil or something to free it up, or do you suppose it is press fit on there, and how can I tell?
I have tried over the years to learn the proper maintenance and whatnot of this item by calling JA Ceiner, but they don't answer the phone or respond to any of my attempts to answer my questions.
So I turn to you guys.
Sorry to be so long winded.
Regards,
Stubb
