One of my upcoming stamps is going to be for a .22. I had always sorta planned to do an integral on a 10/22. I've already got the rifle and currently have a .920 barrel I was going to use to make the integral based very closely on this integral by CMV viewtopic.php?f=10&t=120608
I really like the idea of a integral. However, I am also considering the utility of being able to add a can to multiple guns. My question is what are the pros and cons of integral vs adding a stand alone can? I would imagine an integral would be quieter than adding a can. However in my plan I have to put an asterisk by this as the action noise would be added on the 10/22. I have considered an integral on say a Savage bolt action, but at least in my mind that build isn't as 'sexy' as doing a 10/22.
So, how much quieter is an integral?

Re: .22 rimfire, integral vs add-a-can
If you're going to do a 10/22, just do a really good muzzle can, that you could swap between hosts. The action of the 10/22 doesn't let you get to hollywood quiet. If you wanted to do a bolt gun, go integral, all day long.
My integral 22 is a Savage MKII w/ an ~8" monocore. It falls into the stupid quiet category. The barrel is ~10" and I have no problem hitting 3" plates @ 100yds.

Re: .22 rimfire, integral vs add-a-can
I don't see any posts by CMV about how this design worked out for him. It is a pretty high weight-to-volume design, so I really wonder how it worked out in either of these builds.

Re: .22 rimfire, integral vs add-a-can
I'm almost positive Chris used a baffle I designed using his own layout for the suppressor. Several other members built cans using this design with satisfaction.I still have the prints for this very easy to make baffle for the .22LR.
I found three to four wide spaced baffles and a long ported barrel held under tension works well.
Contact me for details.

This. Integrals are pretty much a waste on semi auto .22 rifles.

My favorite rimfire is a open bolt 10/22 integral with porting.
{ Hollywood Quiet } its a impression not a db level.

Re: .22 rimfire, integral vs add-a-can
I would say that potential dB gain is rather symbolic, and manufacturing problems are just not worth it.

Re: .22 rimfire, integral vs add-a-can
I really like the 10/22 just from the standpoint of the easy to swap barrels. The magazines for the 10/22 are a big plus too. Honestly I wish I had one of the straight pull actions using the 10/22.

Re: .22 rimfire, integral vs add-a-can
Again totally mystified as the manufacturing process is the same with locked breech or blow back integral barrels.
(potential dB gain is rather symbolic) would elaborate to clarify.
Thank you mr fixit I did not know about the toggle link 10-22 ,wow what a option for suppression.

Re: .22 rimfire, integral vs add-a-can
I'm kind of disappointed with my intergral 10/22.
Yeah its quiet, accuracy isn't very good, it was freaking expensive and now I know I would have a better 10/22 if I went with a 16 inch barrel and decent screw on silencer.

So much has changed since my last form 1
Re: .22 rimfire, integral vs add-a-can
Interesting, I would love to know more about it. was it a form 1 build, if so how was it built?
One of the pros for doing an integral on the 10/22 I already have is I can build it so even bulk pack .22 is subsonic. That would make it much easier to feed and enjoy.

It's a gemtech mist.

Not really mystifying anything. It's rather easier to just a thread a barrel than to make a bunch of holes. Sure, you can also make reflex type but there's no gain in noise reduction at all, and all you'll get is FRP. Also, if you are drilling the holes, you can screw up the accuracy and something that we call "automatics". In that case maybe it won't work as semi auto rifle any more. And talking about dB gain... Maybe and just maybe, it will be a little quieter (shot), but mechanical noise would be still very noticeable. Almost every day I can hear military guards checking their M16s through opened window which is over 150 yards afar... Somehow I believe that 10/22 action is not much more quieter than that. In that case, Hollywood quiet shot will be nullified by mechanical noise, so why bother.
