If you just want a silencer to plink around with, I suggest the Guardian22, or maybe even the B22 from Huntertown Arms. If you were to want something more heavy duty the Kestrel 22 is also very popular.
Huntertown Arms Guardian 22
- $199
- 100% Aluminum
- 22LR, 22 WMR, 17 HMR, 17 Mach2
- 4 ounces
Huntertown Arms Kestrel 22
- $349
- Stainless steel core, aluminum tube
- Handles Guardian calibers AND is 5.7x28mm rated

I see what you are saying, but running a 5.56 can on a 22 can be done, but is less than practical. Weight is your big compromise when you hop up to a centerfire silencer.
Many of our customers purchased Guardian 22 and Kestrel 556 silencers, now they are adding the Guardian 9 to their collections.
Huntertown Arms Kestrel 556
- $499
- 100% stainless steel
- 223 and lesser calibers
- 19.5 ounces
The Sparrow is rated pretty good too, but people complain of first round pop, especially on pistols.
Soon, the HTA 308 specs haven't been released yet.CAN YOU GIVE ME THE INFO FOR A .308 CAN??? THANKS
No, diameter of the bullet, length and the ID of the silencer determines effectiveness.I am also looking to get my first suppressor. At the recent 1500 I picked up a Savage Mark II TR-SR. I was planning on purchasing a Kestrel 556 to use on the Savage and my AR15.
Does the light difference in projectile diameter between a 22LR & 5.56 make a difference in the suppressor effectiveness or the velocity?
Is there a difference in the suppression between a 22LR from a Kestrel 556 vs a Kestrel 22?
