andy said:What target are you hitting? Some targets make a lot of noise just from the bullet impact. A car door or a stop sign, for instance "gong" like you hit them with a hammer.![]()
No, just paper targets (Post-It notes) on a wood backer board, which is nailed to a large tree. With the subsonics, you can hear the impact, almost like a light hammer hit; louder than the shot itself, actually. With the Federals, it's definitely a sonic crack; literally does sound like a gunshot coming from the target.

It comes with one muzzle adaptor. The "Add $95 for Flash Compensators" is for additional adaptors, to use the unit on more than one gun. I've got an e-mail in to AAC; I'm thinking about one for my CZ .22LR bolt-action - it's muzzle is factory-threaded 1/2 x 20 rather than the 1/2 x 28 of the AR.
It would ugly up the CZ, but that gun's such a tack-driver, I'd actually rather use it than the Ciener for squirrels, rabbits, etc. And being a closed-breech action, with no open ejection port "pop", and no sound of the metallic action cycling at the shot, it would actually be quieter even than the ciener unit. Cost would be that hanging that 23-oz weight out on the end of the .22's thinner barrel would almost certainly change poi substantially, and would mean having the scope zeroed for use either "with" the suppressor or "without" it. Mil-dot reticle would help greatly with that, but one thing at a time...
Maybe just "ugly up" my current synthetic-stocked CZ with the AAC adaptor, and have to buy another 'nice' CZ; wood stock, etc. Put the current CZ's scope on the new gun, and a mil-dot or other multi-reference reticle scope on the "usually suppressed" gun...
Anyway, with the AAC unit I have, the integral-suppressed stainless Ruger Mk-II that's being made now, and an adaptor for my CZ, that would give me (effectively):
A suppressed 5.56 autorifle,
A suppressed .22LR autorifle (ciener),
A suppressed (extremely accurate) bolt-action .22LR rifle, and
A suppressed .22 auto pistol.
Not all capabilities at once, but it would give all those different options. All with just the two suppressors.
I could get to like this..... :beer:
