I'm seeing online that stock 10/22s don't cycle subsonic ammo well, is that true?

Does adding a different spring help?

Anyone have experience with the new 10/22 SBR? Would the 8 or even 10 inch barrel shoot standard ammunition subsonic?

Want to set up a trust for my father in law and I to put it in.

Any suggestions or advice would be helpful.

My advice would be hold off on the suppressor purchase for a little and the trust May go the way of the dodo bird.

This would be in Ohio so that I believe would require a state law change, but I haven't delved further.

I don't mind paying a little to set up the trust which may even be best long term for passing it along after death.

This would be a Christmas "gift" so I'll be likely holding off anyway.

I’m in the market for an overly tricked out .22 as well

10/22® CARBON FIBER

I have this with a dead air mask 22 lr suppressor

Funniest gun I own. It won't eject the 710fps but cycles 920fps no issues. It is scary quite. I shoot things in my yard and my wife can't hear it through the door. Extremely accurate. Feather light.

This has been my experience as well.

Just recently started thinking about upgrading to a Volquartsen Firefly bolt. Don't want to spend the $ though.

I have a 15/22 with a sonicore skarv suppressor and it makes standard velocity CCI sound like a pellet gun.

The standard velocity cci is subsonic still on my 18” barreled 10/22.

I had no idea they updated the 10/22 this year. Its got a lot of the bells and whistles now. I want a carbon.

I run several with cans and integrated suppressed barrels. Never had an issue. The Remington Subsonic 40 grain is what I run. Remington ammo is garbage for accuracy but ok for plinking.

They will run fine with 45gr+ suppressor ammo. Basically everybody makes that these days. The usually wont cycle the super low energy stuff. Some standard velocity ammo is also subsonic.

I have the 10/22 charger with a folding brace, which looks to be basically a twin to the sbr 10/22.

Mine has a Rugged Occulus suppressor on it. The Dead Air Mask is another good option. You don’t have to spend Occulus or Mask money on a 22 can to get quiet. My charger runs fine with subsonic rounds of all different brands and grains.

My favorite round that I use is the Cci quiet segmented rounds (710 fps). I did change out the bolt to the Volquartsen firefly 2.0 that has been mentioned. The factory bolt wouldn’t cycle the 710’s. I had a buddy trying to get a regular 10/22 to cycle the 710’s by just changing the spring and he couldn’t get it to work. One thing to note is that the Volquartsen bolt recommends staying under 1050 fps.

Looks like the sbr also comes with the BX trigger. My charger didn’t, so I bought the BX trigger. It’s definitely an upgrade.

It’s definitely my favorite suppressed firearm I own and it is stupid quiet and more accurate than I thought it would be. It’s taken more than a few squirrels (at very short distances - those 710’s fall off really quick). You will love it.

It would definitely be worth waiting until one of your local silencer shop affiliates gets enough information/guidance to just 4473 a suppressor. Takes away all the hassle of setting up a trust and anyone you want can possess/use without you present.

Lots of stuff currently going on with the NFA. We will see how everything shakes out, but one thing I will point out that under the current system an SBR can not cross state lines without filling out a form from the ATF.

so, if you live in LA and buy the 10/22 SBR, you can't gift it to him in OH.

But understand, all this is about to change. We just don't know how.

Like most have said already, my 10/22 cycles the usual subsonic loads fine. The only ones that don't cycle are the rounds running 700-800 fps. I don't shoot the latter anyway because the trajectory drops so much. I've shot a lot of subsonic ammo in my 22's, short of the expensive target stuff, and invariably the CCI "Standard Velocity" (it's just barely subsonic) is the most accurate. A 10/22 w/ suppressor shooting subsonic ammo is really fun. You'll hear the action work and the bullet impact, but you won't really hear any other report. Buy a new 10/22 w/ a suppressor and go have fun.

I have the same, though no folder. Got the BX added a couple months ago. Much improved vs the standard.

In recent months, mine won't cycle consistently when using bx-25 or -15 mags. Flawless with the standard 10 rd mags. I recently added a kidd spring, the heavy spring) and it didn't improve things.

Anyone else have similar issues with the bx-25 or -15 mags?

Same here with the bx25…took it apart and tried the yt video tricks, no luck. The bx15 works fine, but I bought a 3 pack of 10’s and just use them. They never fail (so far). I won’t be trying anymore 25’s

I have a 10/22. I also have a savage MkII bolt gun with a threaded barrel. I have my suppressor on that.

With CCI Suppressor ammo, it’s Hollywood quiet. The first time I shot it I thought the round was a dud.

My advice is do that. My 10/22 with federal autoloader ammo and a vortex Diamondback rimfire will bore you shooting out the center of a target at 100yds. I also remounted it on a Magpul Hunter stock. It’s a fantastic rifle.

But that savage suppressed is absurd. I have a MDT stock coming to put on it. There are better rifles, but for $299 that’s absurd value.

Got an Anschutz, but the 10/22 charger gets far more use.

I have an old 10/22 that I upgraded with a magpul stock, shaw barrel, dead air mask suppressor, bx trigger, and Sig red dot. I would call that the standard online upgrade from the forums. My next will be a bolt action.

My kids put 700 rounds of CCI sub sonic (1050 fps) through it last weekend plinking at the camp with no issues and didn't bother a soul. My neighbor walked over and thought they were shooting an air rifle. I haven't tried any other "quiet" ammo yet, but this one is fun as heck
