Silencing .22LR

[Screaming Eagle]

I've got this notion about silencing a .22 rifle. I've got 3 rifles I could fool with but I'd like to get some ideas first. Two of them have scopes and one's an old pre-ww2 hand-me-down from my Grandfather.
Anybody ever tried it?

baby bottle nipple with a hose clamp. It's proven!!! only good for a few shots but cheap!!!

And the legal side is you are trying to keep rain out of your barrel.

If a cop tells you to do it, it must be okay. I'm just sayin'.

Reminds me of a time a cop acquaintance suggested I improve my sparkler bombs by adding aluminum foil into the equation.

no way... I'm a skeptic, pending youtube.

the more expensive way is thread the barrels and buy a suppressor...

I must know details. I am a huge fan of sparkler bombs, and am always looking to improve.

Baby bottle nipples, eh?....wonder about condoms...I guess used or unused wouldn't make any difference eh? Maybe find some of them without too much grease? Out of date?

You could just shoot CB caps. They are very quiet in a bolt gun.

Sparkler bombs? What's a sparkler bomb?
I've done liquid nitrogen in a 2 liter bottle before (dry ice works also I've heard). Very loud!
Also, carbide and water in a 2 liter is just as loud (Carbide + H2O = releases acetelyne gas) plus its flamable.

Take a look at

Good forum, lots of info.

Any particular reason you want to silence a .22 rather than a larger calibler?

shredded aluminum foil + 2liter bottle + Oven Cleaner/Draino = BOOM! + Toxic

Dry ice definitely works. I have an aquaintance that blows up computers with them. Devestating results.

I'm told MRE heaters & water in a 2 liter does the job also. Never tested it though.

PM sent also

None in particular La. Camper. I'll have to check that website out. Thanks.

MRE heaters will do the trick but if you got extra heaters use hot sauce to activate the heater it will clear a room. We use to slide them under the barracks doors of the FNGs at about 2am. Those were the days.

Also Liquid plumber crystal works well in a lot of various go boom things.
