Remington 550 & Suppressor

[loadnplenty]

I have a Remington 550 that I acquired on the cheap side. For those not familiar it has a floating chamber and is semi automatic and shoots shorts and longs.

I thought about threading the barrel and suppressing the rifle thinking since it will fire shorts maybe it would reliably cycle 22 long rifle quiet or suppressor rounds.

Any of you fellas with suppressors maybe done this or have any insight?

I know I could shoot it with ammo before for function check. Just wondering if anyone here has done it. I currently have it disassembled for a much needed deep cleaning

Never tried this with the 550 but don't think it would cycle the original cci quiet but would should cycle this just fine. https://www.cci-ammunition.com/rimfire/cci/quiet-22-semi-auto/6-975CC.html

I have some of that ammo on hand as well. Once I get it back together I will test fire various rounds

Let us know how it goes. Will be interesting to see the results.

I don't know answer either but would like to know. Is it a 550 with one extractor? Most of my .22 semi won't shoot anything below 1170 fps reliably suppressed.

Yea it’s a 550-1. Well the fact it is designed for shorts had me curious. When I picked it up it hadn’t been shot in years. Floating chamber was stuck. It was just in need of a good cleaning. Since they are a PIA to disassemble and reassemble I figured I would ask in the mean time.
