Why not both? For only 5 bucks.

.22 rifle barrels last for many, many rounds. I do not know how many, but at least 200,000. If the rifling was wore out, there would likely have been baffle strikes, destroying the silencer. Soft lead bullets, good lubricant, might take a couple of million rounds...

I have an early Nylon 66 that we know has been fired at least 200K times and its still functional and reliable

" In Norway silencers are common. I do believe in some areas it is required.

England too. You can buy them in 3-packs in hardware stores."


I believe they're also unregulated and cheap in Oz and New Zealand.

The Nylon .22 is a tough rifle. Brazil sold a copy for a while. It was very inexpensive, and a good rifle.

Most of Australia has banned them now.

They used to be easy to get in at least one Australian state.

Sure, do it!
My Jeep GC HEMI V8 has a sweet 3” Borla Exhaust that screams... I like it. Makes it sound like a PO’d banshee.

Feeling a little nostalgic:

I worked for Publicker Industries a BOOZ company in Philly for $42 a week, and I had to fight for that.
