The Monolith. ( Walther SD22, European sealed suppressor )

[GLADIO]

Sorry, couldn't resist taking a pic of my latest purchase.
My own style, sorry I didn't care to remove lint.

What's so special about it?
-First, it's legal.
-Second, it's one of just eleven ( 11) registered, pre-ban, transferable silencers in Italy.

I use this US terminology because there are similarities.. between this suppressor,
and american machineguns.
everybody knows what the Hughes Amendment is, right?
Well, something along those lines went on
on the 5th of November, 2013 here in Italy.
If suppressors were a "grey area" until that time,
and some brave guy actually tried to import some,
legal distribution of them ceased by law in November.

So, there are 11 of them on Italian soil,
and 11 will remain. Kind of like transferable machine guns in the US.

The thruth?
there are THOUSANDS of black market silencers in Italy. they were available in France for sale over-the-counter up to a year ago. No paperwork, no serial, no nothing, they just had to cross borders.
And since we don't have borders anymore under EU treaties...

it's silly.
In one of the most overcrowded places in the world, Italy,
in a place where even farmland has at least a couple houses per square kilometer,
where firing ranges are actually already closing due to noise concerns and ecomentalists,
we ban suppressors.

Yeah, great.

Discuss.

Don't use high speed ammo? Will it explode?

How easy is it to clean?

I image that they mean Centerfire Ammo. Though you'd think that their Translators would have gotten it right.

After all, what do they consider "high speed?" 1100fps? 1250fps? .17HMR?

Does it come apart? People love baffle porn.... Esp when you Europeans seem to have no idea what modern silencers should look like

Pay no mind to the insulting one.

Know it was very hard for you to get so very good job!

Can you post a picture of the instructions? All I find is the outside cover. They used to be a spring and washer design and I wonder if this has changed. Any idea of date?

Okay, here's the deal:
The suppressor is technically sealed. Disassembly only by a qualified gunsmith,
no cleaning required blah blah blah.
it's a 20dB rated suppressor, with a PROPRIETARY M12X1 threading that only mates
with the included P22 adapter. Thus it will only work with P22, SP22, Colt M4, H&K 416 Umarex/Walther products.

As of now, I have to find this kind of tool to try and open a registered, pre-ban, collectible,
new unfired suppressor;


Until I jailbreak it, have some proper stainless steel baffles made, and a proper standard 1/2" threaded endcap made.

By the way, wich thread size should I go for?
It's difficult as F--k ( sorry for the french ) to get adapters from the US,
but I'd like to go the 1/2x28 route. Nobody ships s--t.
Yet my Chiappa M4 Gen II 22lr AR15 upper is threaded that way ( was intended for the US market from the ground up.

On the other hand, I may go with the european 1/2x20", adapters would be easier to come by,
but I'd need an adapter for the upper.

So...?

Gladio, in every crowd there is a walking manifestation of the Cloaca Maxima.

Thank you for your participation here.

Gladio, I do have that tool and I could make all the parts you need.
also 1/2 28 to M12 adapters
it;s just a few hours drive.
