Ruger shows off Silent-SR integrally suppressed 10/22 barrel

Posted on by Leave a comment

Designed to work with any 10/22 Takedown rimfire, Ruger debuted its new ISB last week.

Nope, that is not an O/U double shotgun barrel. It’s a 16-inch long integrally suppressed 10/22 barrel.

Billed to be able to reduce the report of standard velo .22LR to 113.2dB on average, the lightweight Silent-SR ISB is Ruger’s follow up to their first suppressor introduced last year — the screw on Silent-SR. Designed to work with their new Takedown series of 10/22, the 16.12-inch suppressed barrel is a simple changeout and its 2.6-pounds retains a center of gravity close to the rifle’s receiver.

You get the idea

So Ruger just got in the quiet game

Following in the footsteps of arms makers such as Barrett and Sig, Ruger dropped their first branded suppressor today.

With a  5.37″ length, 1.06″ diameter and 6.3 ounce weight, the Silent-SR is a pretty neat looking 1/2″-28TPI mount can that reduces sound pressure levels of .22 LR, .22 WMR and .17 HMR pistols and rifles by up to 40 dB, which isn’t bad.

Here is Ruger’s spec sheet on it.

Can you tell SHOT Show is in two weeks?
