Mosin Nagant silencer

[1-1 Banger]

Is the S-40 an integral? That's be pretty cool, something I'd look into if I had more than one Mosin. I'd say you'd have to do quite a bit of porting on a Mosin for an integral suppressor to work well, or am I thinking wrong?

No, the S-40 is the "twist to lock" style; the version in the glass display case, on the rifle with the PSO-1 SVD scope, appears to be a field-manufactured suppressor by the Italian Red Brigade.

Ahhh, that makes sense then. I thought that it was an early version of the silencer on the VSS or As-Val

 

[SDC]

Just ran across some external measurements on the S-40, if you're still interested, RanB; these drawings were posted on a Russian version of THR.

If I am reading the numbers right, the main part of the can is 5.75" long and 1.27" wide. That is small. I might scale it up to 1.625" by 7.5. I will make it thread on and with cone baffles inside. It will look nearly authentic from a distance.

I would leave the bbl at the original length because the shorter the bbl the louder suppressed it will be

Also with corrosive ammo i would soak it in a bath of windex to kill the corrosive salts

I don't think I could justify paying $200 to the gov't to suppress a $100 gun. No disrespect intended.

the question is, would pay the money to have a repro of a russian SF weapon (hell put it on one of the MOLOT repro snipers....

why do people suppress a 10/22?
cool, really really want to learn how to build cans.

 

[Ranb]

I do not not think of it as a $100 gun. Suppressed rifles are usually much more comfortable to shoot. Seeing as how I have spent more than $200 on ammo for my Nagant, $260 (tax and material) is money well spent on a silencer.

It seems to me that you could reproduce that can, if you wanted something original looking, with a better baffle design and make it more effective. I definitely agree on scaling it up... Its already a boat paddle, you arent gonna hurt it by making it a little longer with a proper sized can.

I would do it except for all the cases of corrosive ammo I have

 

[1-1 Banger]

Wow, those measurements and pictures were a huge help SDC, thank you. I think that's what I may do, I like the look of the historical suppressor, but I agree, widening and lengthening it won't hurt. I'll make a better baffles and have it thread on and with some decent sub sonics, I think it'll be perfect.

Go all the way, SBR the Mosin and the suppress it. Short, powerful, suppress and simple what more could you want from a Zombie gun>?<

 

[Flyincedar]

While I love the way you think, in my opinion, you're talking serious punishment to the can at that point. If you have cheap can, or one you home built, yeah maybe it wouldn't be to costly to replace it, but you're still talking 200 bones every time

 

[Saakee]

give the guys at libertycans.net a jingle about their Mystic multi-cal can, it might be spot on about what you need for suppressing the mosin.

Don't forget there are other ways to reduce the sound. For one thing you can lengthen the barrel, for another you can reduce the load and go subsonic.

In this case it's easy to do both. Just get an uncut M91 and fire subsonic handloads from it. I did that with my Finn M91 some years back for a small game hunting load. Didn't even need ear protection, there was just a "PAAF"
