I am looking for info regarding the Tac Sol internally suppressed barrel for the NON takedown 10/22. Anyone have one? Do you like it?
I’ve got a Mist non-TD. It’s fun but not great. I’m trying to remember the story so maybe this is wrong but early models had a port at the base before the baffles start. This improved suppression but increased fouling in the can. Later ones don’t have the port (mine). First round pop is pretty loud and follow up, while quieter, isn’t what I expected from this can. Fouling is still impressive. Less than 200 rounds and it was almost impossible to remove the shroud. Days of Kroil and some serious work were required to remove. Took it off and bought a threaded barrel and use my cans now. Not saying I wouldn’t try Tac-sol though. Wish I had one to compare.
I apply either c5a or aerosol grease to all rimfire baffles and centerfire pistol baffles prior to assembly. This helps but some persuasive methods can still be needed to get them apart.
360 cST silicone lube is also helpful. Heat the internals in the oven to 250 deg. Then soak them in the silicone until room temp. Set them out over night on a paper towel, then re-assemble.
Son, we don't plan in advance when we retire.
