Muzzle blast concern?

[nucular]

I plan on squirrel hunting with this SBR'd 10/22 so I threw a scout scope on it. I'm going to get a dedicated can for it but until that gets "approved", would the muzzle blast from this arrangement be an issue?

Not for me....22LR in anything over 4 inches is a non issue

I don't think .22 is going to break your scope...but why isn't it suppressed, hmmmm?

Because I have to wait for the .gov to tell me it's OK :|

could almost move this to the First World Problems thread. Very nice 10/22 setup.

I'm asking this from a position of ignorance, so bear with me, but don't you lose a lot of accuracy and velocity with a barrel that short?

Not enough velocity difference to matter at 50 yards and this tac-sol barrel is probably more accurate than the factory barrel. Its not a Kidd but good enough for the squirrels.

Thanks! I was genuinely curious. It will look more "normal" to me with the can on it, but it just looks awkward with the stubby.

toss some weight on the end.. it will look like an internally suppressed ruger

Here is what it looks like with a form 1 I did many,many years ago. It was OK initially but never great and now it needs a re-core.

Now that looks more "normal" to me.

As long as it wasnt a trust, You'll probably have it in your hands no later than midweek. I wouldnt be surprised if you get a call tomorrow afternoon or even Monday as fast as they've been turning them around lately.

That would be pretty nice. The last one I did was just shy of a year.

I'm digging this....

It's no worse than shooting a pistol.

I looked it up after the question came up. It varies on type of ammo but it looks like the velocity loss from a 16" barrel to a 9" is roughly around 50 fps.

That is a sweet looking setup!

It'll be interesting to see if it's out of the gate squirrel head accurate at 50 and beyond? And with what ammo? Standard velocity, subs?

Hmmmm. I have a Charger pistol and a Burris Scout 2-7 laying around and I was trying to figure out what I want to dk with both of them!! Thanks! What scope mount is that?
