This model utilizes the same two piece take down features as the other silencers in our rim-fire line. Our design utilizes a 16.25" barrel on the 20" version or 12" barrel on the 16" version that has been re-crowned with an 11 degree target crown. The barrel is ported to utilize standard or high velocity ammunition while keeping the bullet speed just below supersonic so the bullet doesn't "crack" as it breaks the sound barrier. We tailor all of our guns to shoot Remington Golden Bullet and CCI standard velocity.
For those who have specific requirements we have made many custom applications in SBR configuration that require an additional $200.00 NFA tax stamp. See our Commando product listing for more information. For shooters who demand the utmost in accuracy we suggest an aftermarket barrel that is machined and installed at no additional labor to the customer. This integral model can be built on any type of semi automatic or bolt-action model you prefer.
The baffle stack and the tube are removable for cleaning with simple hand tools. A ¼" allen wrench removes the end cap on the 16" model and the entire core is removed on the 20" model. These will shoot standard or high velocity ammunition and have been modified to reduce high velocity ammunition to 1000 fps so that you don't get the "crack" of the bullet going supersonic.
We will install the integral suppressor on your firearm or sell you one at wholesale price with the purchase of the suppressor. If you don't want a Ruger®, this model suppressor can be installed on any type of host firearm you prefer.

Why is the barrel ported?
The barrel is ported so that the majority of bulk high velocity ammunition will be travel at 1000 fps. Most bulk ammunition varies 25 to 110 fps between shots which make it challenging to offer one model that works great with everything. CCI ammunition is the most consistent, based on our testing excluding match grade ammo, and it only varies 2-15 fps making it the ideal choice for the Trooper and all of our other models. The porting holes are very small which allow CCI standard velocity to still reliably function. These ports can be blocked for an additional fee for the user that wants the utmost in serviceability.
Can the porting be eliminated?
Yes, In Services section on tbasuppressors.com we offer a port blocking option so that the user can make the decision based on his or her needs and ammunition preference, however it will decrease the overall sound reduction by more than 5db which is still far below hearing safe @ 119db
Why is there 3 cuts on the end of the barrel?
Integrals have always been difficult to disassemble and assemble. Mainly, during assembly, trying to get the barrel nut screwed on inside of the tube and on the barrel at the same time. The unique design of our Monocore has the threads relieved on the inside of the monocore threads so that, much like the popular 3 lug mounting systems, you can drop the core in the tube directly over the relief portion on the barrel threads, find the sweet spot, and install it effortlessly.
Do you recrown the barrel?
We crown the barrel to an 11 degree target crown which enhances the accuracy.
What threads are on the barrel and the monocore?
1/2 x 28 2A threads. All of our threads are checked with factory calibrated Go and NOGO gauges.
Do you shorten the factory barrel?
There are two options for this model. The 20” model retains the original 16” barrel. The 16” model has a barrel that is shortened to 12”. The Commando model has a 10" overall length and is sold as a short barreled rifle.
Can I buy just the silencer from TBA?
We do offer barreled assemblies in this model. If you dont see what you are looking for please email us directly at [email protected]. You can also send your gun in and we can build the silencer on your host weapon. This rifle has a 112 to 114db sound signature depending on ammunition choice which is 1db louder than the firing pin hitting an empty chamber. This bolt noise can be eliminated with one of our bolt lock devises found here on our website.
