Complete Newb

Post by rodslinger »

Hey everyone. I don't know crap about cans but I want to get a couple for a couple of my weapons. The problem is as I said I don't know crap. The first one is easy I guess. Ideas on the best suppressor for the CZ Scorpion EVO carbine with the faux suppressor?
The second.....well that's going to take some doing. I want one for my Ruger MKIII Hunter. Yeah the one with the fluted barrel. I know machining will have to happen but it's a tack driver and I don't want to alter her accuracy. Any thoughts on those - especially the MKIII Hunter? Oh and I have a .22 Feather I'd like to be able to save on another stamp and move from the MK to the Feather if that's an option. I'll have it machined to fit obviously.
Thank you in advance.

First off, thank you for not being a Chinese spammer.

I have a Ruger MkII .22/.45. I use a Silencerco Sparrow, and it has given me excellent performance. It is also rated for .22MAG and FN 5.7, so it is durable.

That is my experience, and so I have a narrow view, but I am very happy with it.

Talk to a good gunsmith about threding your barrels specifically for suppressor use. They should be able to do it.

I would get a short barrel for your scorpion and register it as an SBR. if you aren't interested in that, I'd have a suppressor company make you a custom integral silencer that will be permanently attached and 16" long. A 16 inch barrel plus a silencer makes for a really long "carbine" otherwise. Curtis tactical and liberty both specialise in integral silencers. ECCO can chime in if he's interested.

I had a hunter I wanted threaded, and had to replace the barrel with a bull barrel and thread. A tacsol or Valquorsten upper is far less stress, and might even be cheaper.
It's not a silencer, it's a can of whoopass!

Thank you all for the help and no I promise I'm not a Chinese spammer - albit I was a bit hesitant to sign up when I saw all of the spam from them. :)

I'll look into everything you have all mentioned. I didn't want to SBR my CZ but yeah that would be a bit long and I have seen the non carbine SBR'd on youtube and actually did like how it turned out.
As far as the MKIII Hunter I'm in LOVE with that weapon. It's a tack driver and it took my wife and I two days (after work) to put in the trigger replacement but WOW what a difference. I may just purchase the one with a bull barrel as mentioned, to save on having to mess up the fluted Hunter barrell. And I have an FN 5.7 as well (I think I've only put 100 rds down range since I've owned it and I've had it for years) so if I can save on a stamp that's perfect. BUT one more I have to have machined.

So I guess my next step is replacing my MKIII, find a good gunsmith and go from there? I assume the gunsmith would know thread size, etc.? I don't want to screw up my weapons.

Thank Y'all again, I have the means to have a few of my weapons done and thought if I have to wait for the damn stamp, I might as well do them all at the same time.
