Rifle Suppressor Question

[SongdogHunter]

I appreciate all the comments. I've about come to the conclusion that I really don't want to modify any of my Coopers, but may have another rifle in mind if/when I decide to go the quiet route.

For the amount of shooting I do in a day in the rat patch, barrel heat would be a real factor. But a suppressed rifle would be appropriate for one specific area I shoot rockchucks with the much slower rate of fire. At present though, I just don't think it's worth the cost and effort, when I've shot my un-suppressed rifles there for years without any complaints from local residences.

Thanks to all who chimed in, but I think this project is officially on the back burner for now. My Coopers are in no danger of seeing a lathe anytime in the near future.

im pulling barrels this week and getting ready to send them out to be shortened and threaded. My preference is 20"-22" since most my cans are in the 6" length range
