I have acquired my grand fathers Ruger 10/22 Carbine rifle. I thought it was older then it actually is from my memories. But according the serial number, it was probably made and sold between 1979 and 1981. It has a wooden stock, which is in emaculate condition. The barrel is of course 18.5”
Everything original.
I have added a picatinny rail to the top, and changed out the mag release for an aluminum extended release and an oversize aluminum charging handle so far. I am not going to change out the trigger as I prefer a heavier trigger pulls over a lighter ones.
I had another thread asking about the difference in silencers of the mask, switchback.
However, now after actually getting the Ruger in my actual hands, I am having some doubts. Which I could use some insight on.
Option 1. Forgo getting a threaded barrel and the silencer, and just get the Gemtech suppressor barrel. Cost $499 (outside of the $200 tax)
Option 2. Get a threaded barrel, and then either suppressor. Total cost, $599 (not counting $200 tax)
With option 2, there are several options for threaded barrels.
12” SBR taper SS, 16.5” SS available in bull and taper and available with 1:16 twist or 1:9 twist. which twist should I go with.
Then 18.5” SS available in the two twist rates in either of the two bull or taper.
So what advantages does a bull version have over the taper? It says that one should NOT use the subsonic 60 grain Aguila In the 1:16 twist barrels and should get the 1:9 twist.
So if I wanted to be as quiet as possible with the 10/22, I’m thinking the 16.5” in 1:9 twist and using the 60 grain Aguila? But in bull or taper? But if I do that, it says not to use normal velocity or high velocity ammo either?
If I go with getting a form 1 12” barrel and using slower ammo, wouldn’t the shot barrel keep the ammo subsonic? Especially if I am using ammo rated at around 1080fps and the speed of sound hovers around 1050fps? (Barring altitude, temp, etc...)
Thoughts? Which option would you go with? Which barrel would you go with? If making a SBR wasn’t a form 1 hassle, would you go with the 12” taper? (Only available in a 1:16 twist). I do want to stay away from the sonic boom when using a suppressor.
One last though... I saw slip on threads that were stabilized by 3 set screws. Somehow I don’t see that as being a good idea for a suppressor. Maybe a flash suppressor/muzzle break but not a heavy suppressor like a dead air mask. Thoughts?
