22 can ideas
22 can ideas
Been thinking really hard on the route I want to go for a 22 can for my ar. Already have the tube, aluminum and was thinking of maybe some poly (some people might know what I'm talking about), we have different colors here at work and blue being the hardest might work great for a 22. Plus it not being steel/aluminum could even dampen some noise like shooting "wet". I while back I made a fake can with a hole through it just to see what a can would look like on my AR and shot a few rounds of 223 through it and it didnt "melt" or anything that would show signs of anything else. of course no baffles so and straight through hole so no real pressure buildup. I think this could work for 22 just fine. anyone else try this?
here in norway one of our silencermanufacturers uses molded plastic baffels for his 22lr cans. he builds both long (about 10") and short(abuot 5") muzzle cans, and some very quiet internals as well.
the baffels are just a piece of tube with a slanted wall with a centerhole, but seem to work very well.
they dont stand up to the muzzlebalst of a .22 pistol, but they work well on rifles.

invisiblescarecrow's review of the SAK with the delrin monolithic stack on an airgun... I think a few of the other European air rifle and rimfire cans have plastic internals. No reason your Form 1 rig couldn't.
I have considered building a simple large diameter M baffle can using 40mm plastic casings (kalikraven probably still has a ton of these) with the rims turned off for a .22 can for and AR. Use an aluminum tube with a relatively thin wall as the entire length of it would be sleeved by the 40mm cases. Only issue would be the rather large aperture necessary from reaming out where the not always centered .38 blanks used to reside in the 40mm cases. Since it would be a Form 1 I could always make aluminum bushings to reduce that hole size if desired.
Just need to get into another machine shop class for access to a lathe and send off the Form 1.
Please keep us posted on what you decide to build.
