I printed my own here in my workshop. Be happy to print you one, just need to know the thread size and bore size.

I did one for Paul a few months ago. not sure how it worked for him. but on mine they are ok.

No padding required.  I recently sold a near-new FX king which at full power was deafening without a suppressor even though the barrel was shrouded at the outer end.  I fitted a Nielsen multi-stage cone suppressor with only half the baffle sections removed and it quietened the gun to a very civilised level.

I was making my own with hair rollers and felt plus I've 3D printed several as well, but I've found that the CNC machined multi-cone type commonly used for rimfire are far more effective.  Also, if the barrel of the gun is quite long making it a tight fit in your cabinet, then being able to remove a section or two from the suppressor can make all the difference.

Thanks. I think I’ll try a DPT, small and very light. I can add or attract modules as needed. Funny you mentioned the gun safe. I banged the HW suppressor today. It’s longer than even my 24in long action magnums.

Ian, I haven't been able to try yours as the thread was for a much smaller OD barrel.

I have made most of my own silencers using carbon fibre tube turning the ends out of black delrin and also turning flat baffles out of delrin. In between I use about 3 layers of tightly wound felt around hair curlers. they seem to be comparable to others, but of course are very lightweight and I can make whatever size I want.

I am keen to try printing baffles as I got a printer a few months ago.

I printed it with 100% infill so you should be able to just drill it out and tap to what is needed.
