Product Description

Despite what the Brady bunch might say, silencers serve some very civilized functions and contribute to a saner, quieter way of life, which is why a lot of folks like them. After reading The Hayduke Silencer Book, many readers shared their own ideas for simple designs you can build at home, legally. Here is the cream of the crop.

3.0 out of 5 stars Suppressed but Corny, April 3, 2002

By	JB (Sydney Australia) - See all my reviews

This book just passes as average or an OK guide.
If you are after exact dimensions & quality drawings dont buy this book.The author will have you trying to fit a 1/4 inch dowel into a .22cal bore to align washers, wipes etc.(page 61)
The bulk of the designs in this book are for small bore cans that wont last more than a full clip from a .22cal pistol.
The book is written with a 50:50 signal to noise ratio , it does have some good ideas,constrction material & general info on how to build your own disposable or quality reusable suppressors ,unfortunately you have to wade through a lot of carp to get it.
If you listened at school or have any sort of technical or practicle experience with firearms & basic engineering practices you could probably do better with another book on cans.
Basic design & construction of cans is freely available on the net , in text's .pdf's or at the US patent office , the latter is a place even the author suggests you check out for information.

5.0 out of 5 stars Educational Material, May 3, 2000

By A Customer

It's hard to find a good resource book these days. If you want to learn how to make silencers for hunting and just for fun, read this book. It has instructions on how to make from the simplest to the most complex silencer. I give it 5 stars, and it well deserves it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Less than what I expected, February 20, 2008

I purchased this book along with the other title (The Hayduke Silencer book), but I was very disappointed because both books did not offer any information more than what ordinary people already know about silencers. Half of the book talks about BATF forms. However, ATF website actually provides much better information than this book. From the quality perspective, the pictures are not clear, very premitive, and to some extent irrelevant. In my mind, internet has proved to be rich in content than this book.
