.22 rimfire weapons

[alamo5000]

I am obviously frothing over the whole silencer thing lately and now I really want to get a couple more cans. One of the things I want to get is a .22 rimfire siencer. It just looks like a whole lot of fun. My main questions though are about host guns that are .22 rimfire.

I have an old .22 bolt action but I might want to buy a .22 rimfire pistol and a semi auto .22 rifle. Of course both will need to have threaded barrels.

I have been eyeing a 10/22 that has a rubberized hogue stock on it and a bull barrel. Well honestly it's just been in the back of my mind for a while....but nothing is set in stone by any means. More or less I just thought it looked cool.

With both the pistol and the rifle accuracy is preferred.

To be honest though I am not really up to speed on 10/22 building market. I am keeping all my options on the table. Any recommendations? 10/22 is popular and has a lot of options... but is there anything else out there that I should keep in mind?

That said what are some options on what kind of .22 pistols that you guys like? Obviously it needs to wear a silencer. If it comes with a threaded barrel that's better, but I am open to options.

I've got a 10/22, and thinking of getting the barrel threaded and front post moved back. I did get my Savage Mark II threaded, and with subsonic ammo, whispery and more accurate than last best ammo shot.

Sig/Gsg 1911-22. I have one it rocks.
My 22lr SBR PEWPEWPEW. Of bae ass
Savage Mark II. bolt rifle. Whit the right ammo is move quite
Ar15 in 22lr SPR.
ALL THIS ARE thread for my gemtech outback II. suppressor

The mp15-22 is certainly one to look at too. They run forever, use AR controls and features, are easily suppressed, and you can find them around 350$

[DeviantLogic]

If you don't already have a 10/22...that would be the first on my list. I'll just say there's a reason they're so popular. ;)

[Dstrbdmedic167]

My vote is for the M&P 15-22 as well for pretty much the same reasons Duty stated...

[DutyUse]

The MP22 & MP22 compact are also excellent .22 suppressor hosts

10/22+pimpit out=_cool kid on the block

If you are seriously considering Ruger, the 10/22 Tactical comes muzzle threaded - so does the take-down version. The 22/45 Pistol also has a threaded version and has a grip angle similar to the 1911. I have other rimfires, but Ruger is my go-to, suppressed or not. I will edit and say that I have a S&W M&P 15-22 and it is two tons of fun also.

tricked out 10/22
S&W MP-15/22
Ruger SR22
S&W 422
along with an AAC Element2 and SilencerCo Spectre2. Gotta say, as much as I love my 10/22 the M&P15/22 is probably my favorite. That and the 422... running both suppressed always puts a smile on my face

I bought a 22/45 for my wife and I wished I had bought a threaded barrel version when I did. Unfortunately I was in CA at the time, so that was a no go. At least I got a rocking deal on the gun through the Camp Pendleton Exchange. Maybe some day I'll have someone do some work on it. I'm sure they can reduce the barrel and thread it. Any problems can be solved with enough money, right?

There is a guy on GunBroker that just sells the 22/45 Lite upper, no bolt. Swapped mine, shoots fine.

Might be cheaper to go Tactical Solutions - that's what I did on the 22/45 - just like you, I jumped too soon. Bought mine before the TB's were available.

22/45 is an excellent suppressor host. Another option is a Baretta Model 21a which can be outfitted with a threaded barrel. Mine is not suppressed but stupid accurate for a 2.5 inch barrel, I carry mine in the warmer months.

[gatordev]

Thanks guys. I REALLY appreciate you all finding ways to spend my money!

(But seriously, I'll have a look).

[MoxyDave]

Tactical Solutions is the bomb. Check out the X-Ring 10/22. Pricey but worth it ...

M&P15-22 is a great option. They are very reliable, work well suppressed and allow you to cheaply train for your AR15.

One I'm surprised nobody has mentioned is the Sig 522 - an absolutely fantastic option. Super reliable, inexpensive and it has the best trigger I've ever used in any rifle, straight from the factory. If I could only own one .22lr, it would be the Sig.

Is that the Chinese Star Wars version?

[toolboxluis00200]

Lol

[cjd3]

I've got a Walther P22 with the SiCo threaded barrel adapter. It works well, but I think my 22/45 Lite is more accurate. I can't tell yet, since the front post fell off while shooting.

[Computalotapus]

Shot an M&P 22 about the size of a shield ran cheap sub ammo through it. Was a blast playing with that all day at the range

I have the mp22c that I use most of the time now. Super fun and the compact is small enough my daughter can shoot it too

[Former11B]

I'd look at the threaded Marlin XT-22 model or the Savage FVSR. Nothing sounds like a .22 bolt gun

I also have a Sig 1911-.22 which is way more fun to shoot suppressed than my wife's Walther P22. The blowback from the P22 can get pretty bad

[Jerry R]

Specially with a can on it [:D]

[Former11B]

This is my neighbor's 10/22 mashup. Built with a PWS action and trigger, with a Kidd barrel and Innovative Arms .22 can, it's unbelievably accurate and quiet.

I have both the full-size and the compact. I like the full-size but I can't get behind the compact.

I don't know if they're all like this but mine is way overcomplicated. I recently had to disassemble mine because of a broken spring and honestly I have never seen a pistol with so many parts.

With their stupid integrated lock, magazine disconnect, and that awful, shitty oversized safety lever ... jesus i hate that thing.

The M&P22 Compact was designed by S&W - they should have retained the Walther design like the full-size. Just my $.02.

[alamo5000]

I will look around and see what I can come up with about eventually building a 10/22. A bolt gun would be cool too. As for pistols I kind of like the rugers. I am not in a hurry but eventually it will be a project for me.
