So today I indulged and bought a brand new Marlin 1895 SBL in 45-70. I’m starting to take a look at accessories and I was wondering how quiet these are with a can and subsonic ammo. Can anybody give me an idea if it’s worth the time to get a can?

I bought the can first (SilencerCo Hybrid 46)…still saving for the Marlin.  Hoping others will chime in soon with the secret to success!

It’s a Henry in 45-70 shooting subs and shooting starts at the 2:15 mark,

I hate when people make a video shooting suppressed at steel. Shoot into the dirt so we can hear the sound of the gun better without the ping of steel targets.

It’s like filming in horizontal mode.

Rant over, I’ll give myself a 1.5/10

Subs and non-subs, SO worth it!

45-70 trapper with hybrid 46, shooting subs  makes it enjoyable o pretty quiet.

These, for me at least are a definite "go to gun" for suppressing. Meaning, Ya just gotta do it! Especially for a freight train of a cartridge. It's like doing a .22 for me, only opposite.

Plus you can use that suppressor on (almost) literally every other gun you got!

Thank you for the replies. I’ll eventually get a can but I just put a Vortex scope on it today and went to the range. Man..I love this gun!!! I had a Henry X in 45/70 that I traded for this and there is NO comparison. This gun is one I’ll never sell.

Super quiet!  I run 14gn trailboss under a 355gn berry's bullet for cheap(ish) subsonic fun!

I converted one of my 1895GS models to a 16" Trapper and liked it so much I built a 12.5" SBR.  I recently bought a second Hybrid 46 so I don't have to swap between hosts.

I have the SBL with the Hybrid 46 and shoot Hornady 410gr sub-x and it is stupid quiet! Even shooting the 325 gr leverevolution rounds are easy on the ears (or maybe it’s just me and my hearing difficulties, lol). I love my 45-70 suppressed!

Don’t rule out the TBAC Fly 45, its stupid lightweight, especially in its short configuration.
