Welcome to the forum Arnaud. I have heard of the Integrally suppressed barrels, but haven't seen one untill now. How exactly does it work? I guess there are some chambers in there that dampen the sound?

Cool. Now I see how it works. Thanks for going to the trouble of taking it apart for the pic.

Interesting pic, Arnaud. I have a Percy Engineering Service suppressed barrel - it is a similar design but the porting is at the muzzle end of the barrel (16 holes I think) and it uses different baffles. Will post a pic later...

Does FMR have a website?

I wish I'd paid more attention in my French class ;)

Here's my barrel (sorry for poor pic quality - I need a new camera!)

The grey part is a mesh sleeve which shrouds the barrel.

It definitely works - I've tried 3 different detachable suppressors and none were as quiet as the integral one, but the difference isn't much. Most of the noise comes from the bolt operating - If you hold the bolt shut it is very quiet.

Biggest drawback is the price - I can buy 10 detachable suppressors for the cost of the barrel.

I would love to know which detachables you are buying and which integrals you are buying 10:1....that's sort of pricey if you live in the US.

I know that somewhere on Rimfire Central Chief Dave has a conversion to allow the bolt to be locked so as to give you a quiet action when you're suppressed. I may even have it if I can find the CD he sent me.

All you have to do is get a fridge magnet and cut it to the bolt and ejection port area.
it will stick to the bolt and when wedged up behind the cocking handle, stop the action from cycling.

Here in the UK you can buy a suppressor for as little as $30 and you don't need to pay any tax. Just need permission on our Firearms License (funny thing is, if it's an internal suppressor it's classed as part of the gun and no special permission is required)

I just hold the bolt shut with my finger - hardly feel a thing with subsonic ammo.

Yeah after I posted that I saw that you were from the UK...
I used to love going there and going into the shops and seeing a bunch of FAC airguns and rimfires and then right at the end of the counter or handing on a hook in a plastic bag suppressors of all designs and colors...

BBMF, Airstream, PH, Theoben, Airstream, Logun, Daystate....man that was always so cool

Does doing that increase the accuracy any? Because it'd be more like a bolt-action rifle?

And, does it damage the rifle at all?
