- Base interface
- 1/2x28 Direct Thread
This suppressor threads straight onto the barrel, so no mount is required. 10 mounts in our catalog are thread adapters that let it run on other barrel threads.
Which ones fit your barrel and host?
Check in the BuilderThe Thunder Beast Silencer Summit fires every suppressor entered on the same gun, with the same equipment. NLS 22 Varmint was measured in 1 test. Figures can only be compared with others from the same test, so each one links to everything else fired on that gun.

Manufacturer claim
- Rated for .22 LR standard velocity, .22 LR subsonic and .17 HMR.
- The maker's caliber chart approves .17 HMR, .17 WSM and .22 LR, and .22 Mag for rifle use only; 5.7 and every centerfire cartridge are not approved, and it is not full-auto rated.
- Fully assembled it measures 6 inches long with a 1.18-inch diameter and weighs 3.2 ounces.
- The kit form with two extra baffle stacks was discontinued after the ATF ruled it was not acceptable.
Show all 10 ▾ ▴
- An aluminum threaded mount and blast chamber with a hard coat anodize finish; because the blast chamber takes most of the pressure, the rest of the suppressor can be light, and each Modular Baffle Stack is 3D printed in carbon fiber.
- The baffle module is replaceable: remove the mounting screws, slide it off the mount and send it back, and the maker returns one with its current baffle design for $18 including shipping (proof of ownership required).
- Clean the baffle stack with hot soapy water and a soft bottle brush, never in an ultrasonic cleaner; the aluminum mount can go in an ultrasonic cleaner, and corrosive solvents void the warranty.
- Designed for the backyard shooter and the .22LR varmint hunter; the maker says it cycles reliably on a .22LR semi-auto pistol without spring assists or special adapters.
- The modular baffle stacks cannot be installed directly onto a firearm without the mount and blast chamber; modifying one to run without the mount can lead to immediate failure from high pressure.
- Rimfire use only. Not rated for centerfire cartridges.
Is one of these wrong, or does our wording say something the source doesn't?
