Will a 1:9 and 1:7 AR barrel stabilize a .22 round reliable enough to use with a supressor?

Thanks!!

I use a Mite with a 1/9 barrel and Ciener kit all the time, no trouble yet.

I use a Pilot can on my AR-15 with a Spikes conversion kit and it's fine after thousands of rounds.  I use a spacer on the threads because the barrel bottoms out on the first baffle if I don't.  The barrel is 11.5" with a 1-9 twist, which isn't the best, but works fine.  I plugged the gas port in the front sight base to make it a little quieter too.
