Looking for another rimfire can. I figgered a "best" thread would get 10 differnet opinions, so thought I'd add a wrinkle - whats a rimfire can to AVOID? e.g. I got a YHM Mite years ago... with the monocore / baffle. Low volume, ancient baffle tech. It works OK. IIRC the tax stamp cost $ more than the can. Looking for quiet / high volume (relatively speaking) SO...whatcha got? Best / worst can advice? Thx.  

Will not be controlled by a Kidd trigger!

Still got the Mite? Get it re-cored: https://www.thesilencerstore.com/category-s/190.htm YHM can also upgrade a Mite with Stinger (all-stainless) baffles: https://yhm.net/mite2stinger.html

SilencerCo Sparrow is what I have. It was the latest and greatest when I bought it. I clean it when I want to instead of every so many rounds. My $ .02- tax stamp is $200.00 regardless of the cost of the can. And selling NFA items is not real easy (compared to a non NFA item). I try to buy NFA items, that I want forever!

When I worked at a gun store, we had a SiCo Sparrow on the rental range, cleaning it was the worst thing I had to do while being employed there. I’d stay away from anything that has a monocore and clam shells  

On rimfire, I have moved to the camp of 1. Acceptable reduction in noise 2. Ease of cleaning 3. Other functions To me, the mono core is easy, but I am not scraping or using brushes. tumble, dip, or sonic, and done. this means outside of specific things like a super lightweight all Alu can, I want stainless or Ti. I prefer enclosed or sealed baffle systems to keep the tube clean, but thats not mandatory if I can clean it. Beyond these things, the intended use comes into play, things like FRP on pistols or SBRs, fitting with a build or poke from under the hand guard, etc. There are so many good .22 cans these days, I dont look at the super cheap ones, or ones with bad materials. Its usually pretty easy to find a stainless, effective, modular or small can to not worry about those other things outside of the cool factor.  

Agree with Mark Coffey. The SiCo Sparrow works great. A thousand or so rounds through mine and it works great. Cleaning isn't an issue at all for me.

Not here for a long time but here for a good time.

Nothing beats a rugged occulus22.... Sounds great in both configs easy to clean... Full auto rated and bullet proof  

Anti Bodyfat Activist

Surefire Ryder is not the best for sure!

DA Mask or Sico Sparrow....both great options. I have heard the Rugged Occulus22 is another great option.. but I have no first hand experience.  

I’ve got an AAC Halcyon. Good suppression, and it can be configured as a full length or “K” suppressor, but one aspect of the build- subsequently discovered- should be considered before purchase. The rear end cap incorporates a wave spring. This wave spring allows the can to “float” ever so slightly regardless of how tightly the cap is screwed down. This also allows the can to wobble ever so slightly while on the host, regardless of how tightly the cap is screwed down on the suppressor, or how tightly the suppressor is screwed down onto the barrel. An appropriately sized accuwasher shim (5/8 diameter) has resolved the issue, but it was an issue.  

My thunderbeast 22 is noticeably quieter at the shooters ear than the 4-5 others I have compared it to. Also easy to disassemble and magnum rated.

Avoid? Anything with aluminum. Too soft, too easy to damage, too attacked by chemicals. Easy to machine yes but also easier to mess up. For goodness sakes you can cut it perfectly fine with woodworking tools. Note it isn't used in hot areas of turbine jet engines. Not even in one time use/ designed to go boom at the end. Those materials are 4140ht, 15-5, 17-4, titanium, inconel, udimet, hastelloy and the like. Good? Thunderbeast 22- take down.

i think sico finish on their rimfire cans is shit. sparrow for example. deadair and tbac the went cerakote.  

I have a Surefire Ryder 22 and I love the weight and sound suppression but I hate cleaning it. I mean really hate it. Aluminium baffle are a hard pass for me now. Bought a Q El Camino and love it.  

For those with aluminum cans, fill it with Bore Tech carbon remover and let it soak over night. Mine came clean with a rag wipe after that. Like NIB clean...  

Rugged Oculus has my vote for the best.

My 1st can was a SWR Spectre2. Branded by Silencer Co last I heard. Built like a tank with no FRP. I hunt with mine so FRP was important. And a hard hell no on anything aluminium.

If you want a Monocore, check the Texas Silencer Co Scoundrel. Not the best at anything, but fair for the $.

I have a sparrow I shoot weekly. For cleaning just drop the guts in a peroxide/vinegar solution (aka the dip) in an ultrasonic cleaner- done. I'd look at the thunderbeast as well.

Have an AAC Element-2 that’s still great...but out of luck if I have any issues now. Also have a Radical .22 can (spent more on the tax stamp than the can, LOL) that is basically a sparrow without the clam shells. It shit the bed after an extended range session with my daughter a couple years ago; it would not come apart even after a week (yes a week) of soaking. I will say their customer service was top notch though; they also couldn’t get it apart but had it remanufactured and back to me in just a couple weeks. Very communicative through the entire process too. That one is just used at the ranch to pop gophers, etc. now and religiously cleaned after every few rounds...not for extended use. Was considering a Q Erector...what issues are folks having with it? Will likely pick up a Sparrow too...love my buddy’s original version. So easy to clean.

Aluminum baffles suck on my Ryder. Called them once and asked about replacing the baffles with more aluminum or titanium but they said that they couldn’t do that since it changes the can. Isn’t that the same as recoring ?

I have a LCW Lauer Custom Weaponry Predator 22 can, it was not user serviceable and pretty clogged up, I got it used on a Form 4. Had it jail broke by Liberty, they reused the tube and made it a monocore, it’s been nice since but after a year of shooting it’s a bitch to clean.  

Love my Thunder Beast Takedown!  

• Dec 2, 2020

I have a swr spectre 2, a oculus and a tacsol. None of them have had any FRP. Which to me is the point of a suppressor. The oculus is a updated design of the spectre. Henry designed both cans and the internals are almost the same. The best I have would be the oculus. The worst is the tacsol because.... aluminum. It works great but is a royal PITA to clean. A Tbac 22 is in my future though!

12 year old AAC pilot that feels like it was made of soda cans. Love it. Whacked many a small game with it. Going strong and I've never cleaned it. 4 month old Dead Air Mask that feels heavier but comes apart in a jillion pieces to clean. Maybe I'll need that. Seems a bit more quiet than the pilot but it's twice the weight (at least felt by holding it). In 12 years I'll report back.

Gen 1 element sucks to get the baffles out for cleaning, wish I would have went with the Sparrow first.  

PlinkIt said: Don't shoot much If he is only using it to hunt then round counts don't get anywhere near as high as range use. It's easy to burn 500 rounds of 22 in a day at a range. 500 rounds of 22 can last a lifetime just hunting though Click to expand...

Yankee Hill Machine 5.56 Phantom QD Suppressor Review

• December 02, 2015

Sign Me Up!

YHM, in cooperation with Sound Technologies, produced the Phantom Sound Suppression System. The Yankee Hill Machine (YHM) 5.56 Phantom QD suppressor is a great suppressor for someone on a budget. This suppressor is made of heavy-duty chrome-moly steel. Its solid design seems like it can really take a beating, too.

The YHM 5.56 Phantom QD suppressor sells for $496 at SilencerShop .

The permanently-attached flash hider serves as the quick connect portion of the suppressor. The Phantom Flash Hider eliminates 99 percent of muzzle flash while the Sound Technologies baffle design reduces muzzle noise by up to -35 dB. A patented gas seal keeps the threads clean so the suppressor is less likely to bind, making removal easy. The Phantom Flash hider supports the sound suppressor in two places making misalignment nearly impossible, even if the sound suppressor is not fully tightened.

The one downside Mark noticed to this suppressor is the weight. At 20 ounces you can definitely feel it on the end of your barrel. With reduced weight usually comes increased cost, so it’s up to the end user how much you’re willing to pay for less weight.

- 1/2"x28 threads for Phantom Q.D. flash hider - 1½ inch outside diameter - Full auto rated - Chrome-moly steel - 20 ounces - 6.875 inches long

Description

Additional information.

Designed to meet the demand for a lighter, quieter, easier to maintain, yet affordable .22 suppressor, the Phantom® provides superior sound reduction on both pistols and rifles thanks to a newly designed baffle system. The rear of the blast chamber serves as the takedown tool for the muzzle cap, which means you will always have the disassembly tool when you need it.

It features a shielded interlocking baffle stack made from heat treated 17-4 stainless steel, and each baffle has indexing tabs to ensure proper orientation for optimum performance. The outer assembly consists of 2 parts. The 7075-T6 aluminum blast chamber bears the serial number, and the 6061-T6 tube houses the baffle stack. The blast chamber features a stainless steel ½”-28 thread insert to prolong the life of the mounting threads. A stylish aluminum muzzle cap holds everything together. Thanks to the combination of lightweight aluminum and strong stainless steel, the Phantom® .22 is able to handle rounds up to 5.7x28mm while weighing a mere 4 ounces.

Specifications :

• Caliber : .22LR, .22MAG, .17HMR, 5.7x28mm

Influence of Tumor Suppressor p53 Functioning on the Expression of Antioxidant System Genes under the Action of Cytotoxic Compounds

The effect of inhibition of the tumor suppressor p53 on the antioxidant system genes expression under the influence of cytotoxic compounds of the platinum group was studied. It was found that the action of platinum(II) and platinum(IV) complexes induced accumulation of p53 protein with a maximum in 12 h, which was confirmed by an increase in the expression of the P21 gene, the target gene of the p53 protein. It was shown that the action of platinum complexes activated the expression of catalase and superoxide dismutase 2 genes. Suppression of p53 protein functions with specific inhibitor α-piphitrin under the action of platinum complexes reduced the expression of catalase and superoxide dismutase 2 genes and the target gene P21, which attested to the p53-dependent regulation of these genes.

PHANTOM QD ADAPTER

Write a review.

• Description

YHM developed this Q.D. Adapter to convert existing suppressors from other manufacturers to use our much simpler mounting mechanism. This is the same mount design that YHM has been using on our Q.D. suppressors since 2005. Due to its simplistic design, there is virtually no way to incorrectly install the suppressor and risk the chance of it coming loose, yet it provides easy removal. To install, simply remove your existing mount from your suppressor and thread in our Q.D. adapter. This will allow you to use YHM’s Q.D. flash hiders or muzzle brakes which are sold separately.

• 17-4PH Heat Treated Material
• Melonite QPQ Finish
• 1-3/8"-24 Thread Pitch
• Allows the use of YHM Q.D. Mounts to be used with suppressors that utilize 1-3/8"-24 threads.

Phantom QD Adapter Review

I picked up the Phantom QD Adapter for my R9 suppressor. The adapter fit the R9 perfectly and allows me to use my Phantom QD muzzle devices with my R9.

Great mounting system!

Mounting the suppressor becomes shockingly easy. Line up the threads, twist the suppressor on, and it’s ready to rock!
