T8 mod on a .22RF

Please give me our views on this my local gun dealer just sold my mate a T8 to go on his .22rf and .17hmr, overkill I think

i think for a 22lr its over kill.complete waste of time...i use a £300 ase utra on my 17 and it works very well....though i must add i wouldnt of bought the ase to go on the hmr it was on my 223 and i needed a mod for my 17 i bought a t8 for £ so that went on the 223.....

be careful if you use it on a centrefire as well mate. as i was reading a thread on one of the shooting sites.

cant remember which one now

 

anyway the guy had been using a t8 on his 22lr and then sometime later put it on a centrefire he got. and it went tits up

as the unburnt power what was left by the 22lr went boom. must have been litt up by the the centrefire bullet passing though so just be careful fella

I didn't think it was right so I rang Jackson rifles this afternoon, I said my mate told me to get a T8 for my .17hrm and it would take the crack out of the shot. I said to them that I thought it was a bit over the top and that my Sak does the job anyway, so I asked the fella what would happen if I did put one on and would I notice a difference in the noise. He said that under no circumstances should I fit one to my gun for three reasons:

1. They are not made for rimfire rifles

2. It wouldn’t be any quieter

3. Due to not being able to clean it properly or well enough you will get a build up of unburnt powder in the baffles of the mod, which could build up so much that one day a round might hit the powder build up leaving the barrel. (well done jamie g )

 

I don’t think my dealer was just trying to pull a fast one he’s one of the soundest blokes I know, he just doesn’t know all the facts and he honestly thinks it’s ok to fit a T8 a rimfire rifle.
