Hey guys I'm after an overbarrel .22 rimfire suppressor for a build I am doing. I quite like DPT suppressors but they don't do an overbarrel rimfire so I'm looking at the Hardy or Greystone rimfire supprssors.
I'm just wondering how a .223 centefire DPT would perform on a rimfire, it has more volume I think than the rimfire ones I am looking at above - would it suppress better? It is a bit heavier than the rimfire ones I am looking at but I think I can live with that.
I tried my spartan over barrel on the norinco .22lr and it wasnt a huge deal quieter than the manders which is waaaay smaller and lighter...neither will shut supersonics up so gave up on experiment.... with sub sonics its definately quiet...as to how much better ,rather subjective.
you can put any over barrel on with same thread and try it.....you surely wont get baffle strike LOL.
oh and just use DPT overbarrel for .223........
i use the same DPT over barrel on my .22 hornet and.22 rimfire, very quiet with subs on the rimfire.
I was thinking about trying my overbarrel gunworks from my 22.250 on my .22LR, just need to check they have the same thread first
What about ?
Trying my DPT 22lr on my 223.
Be ok with subs I guess.
I sucked it up and bought the Hardy over-barrel rimfire suppressor. If I had a centrefire suppressor that fitted, I would have used it instead. Having said that, the Hardy does the job with subs; a centrefire version would be more weight/length for no benefit.
It would be good if DPT made an over-barrel rimfire supressor!
till you fire a super and wreck the plurry thing..... it shouldnt have capacity for the amount of gases created......Quote:

It's silent now, how much quieter can it be?Quote:

Use the DPT overbarrel .222/223 suppressor. It's just a .22 cal can, does not matter that it's over engineered for 22LR, that's a good thing.Quote:

It definitely does not need to be a rimfire suppressor.

New guy here, is there going to much more noise to suppress at all? I have a hushpower on my 10/22 and its quiet as I'd ever want it... or is it a looks thing you're going for?
Don't know about the opening poster, but I wanted my .22LR to be as short as possible, so went for an over-barrel suppressor. I had a Hushpower prior to the Hardy and it did the job just fine.
@MB have ordered a Hardy same as yours. Just the weight and length in the end and the fact this is going on a dedicated subsonic short barrel .22Quote:

Cheers for all the input guys.
Don't forget to let Hardy know the external barrel diameter where the bush will sit and they will bore the bush out to the correct size. Despite their reputation, I found them pretty good to deal with.Quote:

Every thing here is 1/2-20 so I can use the one I feel like.
Still always end up with the normal 22 suppressor back on it after I'm finished tutuing as the centerfire ones arnt worth the extra bulk for minimal improvement and the risk of damaging them using my 22 like I usually do
My Ruger 10/22 has a ported barrel and overbarrel suppressor: shoots supersonic ammo quietly.
i am using a both dpt 223 and .22 on my 22lrs, no differences at all .
I use the same gunworks over barrel suppressor on my 7mm08 and 17hmr.
It works well on both but it makes the hmr very front heavy and harder to hold steady than a nice light dpt rimfire or similar.
