I've been fascinated with the science of silencers. Hydrodynamics, CNC machines, CAD works, various metals, and fluidynamics.. all very interesting. So my friends and I been filing Form-1s with ATF and have been building various suppressors. This is my most recent build: I call it the "FART GUN". Silent, but Deadly...




It started out as a Ruger MKII 5" tapered barrel. It's now a 6" integrally suppressed pistol with target sights, adjustable rear sights and scope base. CRAZY quiet. Pictures are worth a 1000 words, so Enjoy...

ooh thats pretty

did the holes in the barrel mess with the rifling at all? any impact on accuracy?

Way cool. Those things are quiet to start I bet you dont hear much of anything.

Sounds like a baseball being bounced onto a cement floor. THUD!

Love it!

that is amazing. Im debating if i want to try my hand at a .22 suppressor. I dont have access to a lathe though so the tube part id have to outsource. It would be a SS/ aluminum monocore

Start here. This company sells threaded tubes for "solvent traps". Their C-cell tubes are small so you can make a 22can pretty easily. The also sell endcaps and threaded caps. Their endcaps have no exit hole, so you can drill it to whatever diameter you need. A 22LR should be drilled with a 1/4" drill bit. I would go slightly larger so it will reduce the chance of the bullet strike.

Make sure you have an approved Form-1 before you start drilling, assembling, or all that stuff. If you go monocore, then all you need is a mill. If you are going with aluminum, you may be able to do it with a dremel. You can have a machine shop do some of your lathe work, as long as they don't complete it. YOU should be the one to drill the hole(s) where the bullet will pass through.

holy crap thats perfect. That has been my only hangup and didn't want to start asking around since people get weird about that stuff. thanks for the heads up. you sir are a gentleman and scholar.

Well, I built another one. Design is top secret but some pics are quite telling. It's a 30cal can for 300 blackout to 300 Win Mag. Custom machined. Mostly titanium.

nice, when do you start coming out with your gear too?

ill take a shirt and a hat ;)

In due time, my friend

Thanks for letting us try these out. It was a blast! Mousefart rules!

One of our guys took our 30cal suppressor to Shooter's World to do some test fire. His goal was to be in/out in 15min max. 2 hours later, he left. Damn near everyone there was so impressed with our can, they all wanted to hear it and shoot it! I like that kind of feedback!

looks great man, ill have to see about manufacturing some of your parts maybe for yah?

If you have a Swiss screw, that could be a possibility. If not, let me know what type of CNCs you have and I will get with my partner and you guys can talk about future projects.

Time for a ignorant question. The 30cal can... so will it work with 300, 30-06 and 30-30? Not that I would do a can on a 30-30 but just trying to see how this works...

That's a great question! A suppressor can accommodate smaller cartridges. There may be a slight loss in effectiveness, but it will work.

Example: A suppressor designed to withstand 300 Win Mag can handle any .308" and 7.62mm bullet diameter. This would include the 30-06, .308win, 30-30 Winchester, 7.62x39, 7.62 Nato, 300 Whisper, 300 Blackout, and so on. It can also handle smaller diameter bullets like 223/5.56, 22MAG, 17HMR, and so on. With the smaller diameter bullet, you can still effectively suppress it, but it won't be as quiet as a suppressor built specifically for the .22/5.56 caliber.

Bob, if you have a threaded barrel and a good quantity of ammo, I will let you break-in/field test our next suppressor. :)

Thanks for the info! I dont have anything with a threaded barrel but I may be able to get my hands on a .308 that is threaded and I have a few 100 rounds of that.

I have a threaded 308, 30-06, and 300WM. Let me build ver 3.0 and we can play!
