Hayduke rides again!
The Edward Abbey frictional character has a number of books under this guise, This is one of those little gems of his. However, all the plans are simplistic. And most are for the .22 rifle or pistol. I wanted to see plans with washers and welding, but alas, they where not here. If you sat down and wrote 5 ways to suppress the sound of a gun, it would be in this small book.

A fun book to read, and educational. Please do remember that even the assembly of the parts in preparation to build a suppressor is a federal offense, don't do it without ATF permission (and paying the...tax of course!).

Practical designs and advice on silencers. The pop bottle model works like a champ and can be built in 15 min..

The book was written in 1989 and has about 70 pages. I read each page and unfortunately, this book does not offer any information more that you can find on the internet. In fact, I found more data, figures, pictures, and relevant information on the internet than this book. The pictures are very crude, badly printed, has no clarity, and no science behind it at all. It was a bit disappointing for me.Hayduke Silencer Book

I bought this book for fun. i wondered how silencers and and if the ones in the movies would work. After looking through this book i had a better understanding. this book is more of how to build one and not big on explaining how they work.

It's hard to imagine how this book got in to print: poorly written, poorly researched, poorly presented. It fails to provide any insight in to the principles behind suppressor design and manufacture, contains no information about gunsmith practices for mounting a silencer, and has just enough print to escape classification as a picture book.

Save your money and time. Buy anything but a Hayduke book.

While the book itself was well written, the graphics in it are rather old many hand sketches and the book lacks enough detail to truly produce a true silencer. Keep in mind that producing a silencer is illegal without the appropriate BATF paperwork and tax stamp. I would look for a better source if this is your goal.

This 'book' was in a word dissapointing. I thought it would of been better written and more detailed. Could of found this info just surfing the net.
