my brother used to have a “suppressed .22” for dealing with varmints without alarming the chickens...it was a .22 that had a nipple from baby calf bottle fastened to the end of the barrel with a radioator clamp...unfortunately, that gun was lost in the tragic house fire along with all the rest...
My tube-fed Marlin .22 doesn’t even make a “bang”, it’s more like a loud SNAP, like you were braking twigs or something...
snap... snap... snap
Darn nice little gun. Long barrel too.
I’m very sorry to hear about your tragic loss in the fire! Did you also lose any chickens during the house fire?
So Sad!
