I haven't had a whole lot of experience with "legal" suppressors...
Old Sionics on a MAC/Ingram very long ago, Ceiner .22LR integral on a take-down Browning .22 self-loader belonging to a friend 30 years ago, and now, my own SRT Commanche.22LR .
The Ceiner was a sealed unit, and with a bright well-focused light and young eyes, you could see how the unit was filling up with crud.
With my own Commanche, seeing how much crud gets in there after 1,000 to 1,500 rd.s and needs to be scaled-off and soaked off in a 50:50 solution of peroxide/white vinegar (as rec. my the manuf.), I truly believe that a .22LR suppressor for a private owner that is going to shoot more than a few boxes of ammo needs to be "user servicable".
I am curious about the Tactical Innovations .22LR suppresors and any other "user servicable" suppressors that some of the many "informed consumers" on this great list may have experience with that they wouldn't mind sharing.
I am have been trying the SRT on a couple of re-worked 10-22s and despite rubber-over-laid stocks, soft recoil buffers I am not as happy as I might be with the action noise and I believe that an Izmash straight-pull Biathalon rifle might make a better platform for me as well as being a bit more accurate than even a re-worked/re-barreled 10-22 seems capable of.
Currently the SRT is mounted on a Contender with an MGM 1:9" twist barrel to try to utilize 60 gr. Aguila "SSS" ammo. (Accurascy with 40 gr. std. vel. ammo seems to not be tops....)
I like how hard the 60gr. hits, but I am real concerned with accurascy, and giving up the versatility of being able to utilize 40 gr. loads might be to stiff a price to want to pay.
PS For varmints or smallgame I use flat-nosed ammo, or CCI 40 gr. Sub-Sonic h.p....The latter is a very reliable h.p. on a par with the exc. 40gr. Win Power-Point, and giving identical performance at a few yds. shorter ranges, but w/o the sonic "Crack!".
