silencers on revolvers

OK, you lost me there. Why would accuracy improve with a slower twist? The Greenhill formula uses diameter and bullet length as input variables so there should be no difference if the bullet is going 950 fps or 1400 fps. If anything I would think that a 60 grain bullet would be longer than a standard bullet (around 40 gr) and would need a faster twist.

Steve.

Which compared to high speed from kmart or walmart etc for $13 a brick..is pricy indeed.

You are correct. It needs a slightly faster twist, even at the slower velocity.

Bi-Mart sold a brick of standard Remington 22LRs for $6.99.

Big 5 has (if they're not out of stock for 2 months like right now) Wolf 7.62x54 for $9.95/20 or another brand for $14.95/20. Your link to

Thanks SteveF. I wrote before I thought. What I should have said (and really meant to say) was a faster rate of twist for a heavier bullet, slower for a lighter bullet.

Could you enclose the cylinder inside some type of shell the forced the gases to go out the barrel? (a custom built gun and not a modification) Would this cause the remaining rounds to cook off if the gases travelled all around the cylinder? Ken (who knows next to nothing about guns)

It'd be a lot easier to just not use a design that is inherently difficult to silence.

No problem, and actually the Russian Nagant revolver does somewhat what you describe, only by using the cartridge case itself to make the seal.

Let the record show that Gunner wrote back on Thu, 22 Sep 2005 07:10:58 GMT in rec.crafts.metalworking :

The caveat is that you may do this as long as your construction is not going to interfere with Interstate Commerce. Specifically, the guy was barred from the legal purchase of a machine gun, so he was not "interfering with interstate trade" by making one. Of course, California had a few problems with the whole issue, but that was a different case.
