To: Trigger643 & members,
What was the serial # of the one you had? The one I had (it has sold), shows no evidence of any repairs or restoration. The barrel is bug proofed, has the full serial number of the gun and the index (-) with the receiver was perfect and original.
The correct term is 'suppressor'. 'Silencer' is a term created in Hollywood by the motion picture industry.
As far as operation, recoil forces occur at the time if ignition. Suppressors do not effect the velocity of the bullet to any extent.
The only suppressors that affect operation are the large ones made for pistols such as the Colt M1911 that are so heavy the return to battery is delayed.
Thanks!
Randy
