You can go with the Oasis suppressed top end for the MKII or MKIII. It runs $695 plus the $200 stamp. You're looking at ~$900 for the top end to add to your existing gun. You don't really need anyone to do the work if you go with something like the oasis. It's as simple as swapping out your old top end and installing the oasis.
I struggled with the same decision and I ended up buying the Gemtech Outback II and having the barrel threaded by Gemtech. I also have a P22 and a 10/22 that host the silencer.
I stopped in at BG firearms yesterday afternoon... To talk suppressors. :-)
I'm quite ready to bite the proverbial bullet and start the process to get one!
And since Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery, I do believe that I'm going to put a Tac Innovations Stratus on my Tac Solutions PacLite upper on MY Ruger 22/45.
Unless, of course, the TacSol suppressors are a little less expensive. :-)
Most screw on .22 suppressors run around $250-$350.
There are some really expensive .22 cans out there that use monolithic baffle systems and fancy quick connect systems, but your first .22 can should be a simple design to learn the ropes, then later on you can weigh the pros and cons of a higher end .22 can.
I stopped in at 21st century and bought me a tac 65 yesterday.now the waiting begins.i also picked up a cz 452 w/threaded barrel so i will be ready when i get the "good to go call".who knows maybe i can find a handgun setup while i wait:-)
back to 21st already to get my handgun host.picked up a mosquito which was a tough choice over the walther p22 but a good choice either way.now all i need is the call.
