I do not believe there is a legal definition regarding the proportion or dimensioning of bore size to caliber marking.
I have heard on here of guys marking their cans as 22s and using considerably larger bores, because... reasons. There’s no legal requirement for your silencer to actually be effective. |

Quoted: Could a manufacturer mark their cans .224 and have a .375 bore for .30cal projos? No. But you can have a .375 (or larger) bore to reduce back pressure or mitigate baffle/cap strike concerns. Can't change the caliber of a silencer, but there is no maximum bore size for a given caliber, just a minimum (nominal bullet diameter). |

Considering that there are commercial designs with tapered or variable bore, as well as front caps that when swapped reduce bore below nominal, it seems to be a non-issue. I like shooting my Hybrid 46 on sub-calibers with less than perfect muzzle threading or non-adjustable gas semis. Sometimes good enough is good enough. The smaller front cap is quieter but at that point a smaller, lighter, more caliber specific can becomes more desirable.

Ive wondered which has more impact on sound, through bore diameter or exit aperture diameter....
I have a Rex 458 Mod X that you can change the front exit aperture on, so Ill run the .358 exit aperture on it when shooting 9mm - sounds pretty damn quiet out of my Stribog and SP5. I suppose there is even more volume in a .45 capable can when shooting 9mm through it, than when shooting 9mm through a can that’s rated at most for 9mm sized projectiles.... Thoughts? |
