Need to get a .22 lr suppressor set up but have no practical experence. Would like to set up one that will work with a 10/22 and also a high standard. I know that I have to get barrels for both models threaded, etc. but is this best way to go? Looking for a common sense approach that is not going to break the bank.

Note; Mainly to pick of pests off in my backyard, etc. My next door neighbor has a couple horses so you know how that goes.

A suppressor is a lifetime purchase,  so don't short change yourself.

The 10/22 is a simple fix as there are threaded plug-and-play barrels galore.

Spend the money,  get a good high-quality can.  over the years you won't miss an extra $100 or so.

It needs to be user servicable.  That is it.  A home made soda blaster or a DIP solution will get either aluminum or SS clean.  The SS cans tend to be a little more durable and easier to really scrape clean.

Already had an AAC element that I use with a MkII.
So, I started working on setting up a 10 22 myself.
So far the set up costs haven't been too bad.
Cost of rifle, then sent original barrel to a smith to be threaded for $75.00.
Why buy another barrel?
Get to know a good Smith.

Ruger now sells the 10/22 threaded, so at least you don't have to go through that step.

ETA: I agree with the others, get a can you can service yourself. Way less hassle.
Also, if you already have the 10/22, TAC makes a good threaded barrel but you give up the sights.
Aquila Precision Firearms is awesome, they will thread your barrel and maintain your sights. The guy is excellent!

I run a TAC-65 and have no complaints, but you'll have to tune your 10/22 to run subsonics.

You don't want to use "the dip" on aluminum cans or parts, it will literally eat the aluminum. I use a soda blaster on them and they come out shiney clean in a jiffy, although breathing protection is a must.
