S&W M&P 15-22 as a .22 host?
4/16/2012 11:28:08 PM
I have paperwork in on a sparrow... and I already have a pistol host picked out, but want some advice from someone who has run a suppressor on a M&P 15-22.
I am looking at the model that has a threaded barrel and an A1 hider on it. Has anyone used this as a host?
If so, did you send in the barrel to have the threads checked, or just remove the hider, screw on the suppressor and go to the range?
Let me know. Thanks.

I also have a sparrow waiting on dealer to dealer transfer that I'm planning on using on 2 15-22's and savage mark II. From what I've read their good to go, Silencerco even has a video of them shooting a bunch of different suppressors on a 15-22.

Which model comes with the hider that screws off? Looks like ther are several versions, not sure of some are Pinned on or not.

The OEM threads appear to work just fine. Checking the alignment with a dowel rod before using a can is always a good idea.
The threads on the gun are about .600" long, which is .200" too long for most .22 cans. Gemtech and others make a simple threaded spacer to correct this issue. Not sure about the Sparrow.

I ran a few mags through a friends M&P with my Sparrow installed. Worked great, although as has been mentioned you will need a spacer.

I bought a three-pack of spacers from Titsworth's shop, but he seems to be out of stock. I could drop one of the spares in an envelope for you if you'd like.
You could also go with one of these.

That's a great host. A friend of mine has one. I also have a savage MK with a threaded barrel. I put his can on there and the bolt action makes it sound like a cat fart.

I use the factory threads on mine with no issues. Its nice and quiet with standard velocity ammo.

I use a Savage Mk II FV-SR for my rifle suppressor host. With subsonic .22 LR I'd say its slightly more quiet than a cat fart.
I can hear the hammer drop and the bullet hit the target, both sounds are louder than the gunshot.
