rimfire suppressor for precision rifle
- Thread starter jbell
- Start date
I ended up with a TBAC 22TB when I was doing my rimfire can search after I got annoyed with my old Specter 22. I didn’t have a precision rimfire rifle at the time, but the baffle stack indexing assembly (and ergo reassembly) seemed the most repeatable.
I’ve since purchased a Vudoo, but it’s not threaded.

Why not just back bore the muzzle?
I think the bore expansion is a problem leftover from improper stress relieving, and is blown out of proportion with today's steels and cut rifling.
But if you're worried about it, it seems easy and then no adapters.
I realize that I'm a little late to the party and the guys that know me will probably roll their eyes and think "Jeez, he sure bangs this drum a lot"........
But, for cans like the TB Takedown that has removable Stainless baffles, yes I put the baffles into a ziplock bag filled with 50/50 water and CLR, then put it into the hot water bath of my ultrasonic cleaner and run it for about an hour.
The real trick is that when the baffles are clean and dry, hose them down with a good MIG welding Anti-Spatter Spray and let them drip dry before re-assembly. It makes cleaning REALLY easy and effective. They come out of the Ultrasonic cleaner absolutely spotless.
I have personally seen bores on some of the very best barrels made today open up from threading. And I have seen unaccountable flyers / poor accuracy (all relative mind you, I am not talking really bad but definitely noticeable) with back bored muzzles that were tested with a lot of different ammo & lots. Ultimately it was resolved with the removal of the back bore. This isn’t an absolute, but it happens.
Thanks, but I can't take credit for it. I think I read about it somewhere here on the Hide. Perhaps from a member that has since moved on (?).
But, it works well, is cheap and is brain dead simple.........
I need to try that cleaning method with my 22TD & Spectre II. Don't shoot suppressed w/22RF nearly as much as I used to, but it's been awhile since I last cleaned either of these two 22RF cans, so why not try it?
An empty mason jar or mayonnaise jar works well too.
Yes, the glass conducts the sonic waves better than the plastic.
I'ma give that a try. Because yes, the Baggies do develop holes over time.......
I have been following this thread with great interest. The discussion about cleaning has raised several questions for me. I have seen bits and pieces about cleaning in different posts, but cannot seem to find a summary of all the aspects in one location. Can any of you direct me to a summary? For example, there is a cleaning mix that works but makes a horribly toxic solution after use (they are all toxic, but this stuff is noted as hard to dispose of). Is it aluminum you aren't supposed to put into an ultrasonic due to erosion? Can simple green be used on anything?
