YHM .22 Mite Sound Suppressor

[jpowelle5]

So I am waiting for my stamp to come back so I can get the YHM .22 Mite Sound Suppressor I purchased transferred into my name so I figured I would ask:

1 - Does anyone have any experience with these suppressors?

2 - Can it be used for any .22 caliber rifle / handgun?

3 - Can it be used on a .17 HMR rifle?

Thanks and sorry if these are dumb questions.

I have a Mite and like the hell out of it. If it is the regular model (not the stainless) you can only use it on .22 LR/Short/Long. You can not use it on a .22 magnum or .17 HMR. I called and asked YHM about the .17 HMR and that is what they told me.

I swap mine between several .22 LR's, both rifle & handgun, and works great on all of them.

I have one - used it on a sig mosquito & a savage bolt action - love it but you better clean it after every session or you might not get it apart

I'll be sending out paperwork next week for my mite.

I have one on my Mosquito, love it! Get the silicone cover from Bowers. Easy to clean, just put anit-sieze on the threads. Add pulling gel to make it even quieter.

yes

Yep, found this out the hard way before I knew.

Locked it up so tight that I had to send it back to YHM to get it apart.

BTW, their customer service was great.

Thats a first for me. Ill have to try it. You are talking about the pulling gel electrician use?

Make sure it is the clear gel!!!

I am in that position now I have one that I love, I use it on a walther p22 and a savage MKII TR, but after that last time it was shot it wont come apart Im freaking out over that one.

[Dolomite_supafly]

Use a strap wrnech and make sure you put antiseize on the threads next time.

Also, when shooting, after every 4th mag or so, grab your tool and just give it a quick twist. It will help to break things up while they are still hot to keep it from seizing up.

Cap and Dolomite, thanks for the advice. I'm new to this as well. Waiting on my papers to come back from the Chief and then the lonnnnggg wait. But I'm trying to warch and listen in on all related topics to get a head start on preventing issues.

[Guest 556or762]

I use anti seize every time I keep some in my truck, here in my tool box and on my work truck (mechanic) but this last time it just wasnt gonna come loose I have sent it off to YHM to let them try. I think I am going to go with copper based anti seize when I get it back and see if that works better than the silver it has a higher temp rating so that might do the trick.

Might try locking the tool in a vise and using grip gloves and turn the can off. Had to do it one time with mine. Or even an ultrasonic cleaner. If you ever make it up to Hartsville just hollar at me and I should have everything you need to get it apart. I am forgetful with mine and had to man handle it a time or two.

[Guest 556or762]

I actually tried putting the YHM tool in the vice on the back of my work truck and using a wide strap type filter wrench with a ratchet on it and it was taking way to much force so I chickened out and now its on its way to YHM.

heres my Mite on my factory threaded 22/45. it is super quiet an good enough for me.

[Schadenfreude]

The problem isn't the threads locking up its lead build up between the fins & the outer tube, the giving it a twist every few mags might help.

I have one on the way if my stamp ever comes back. It's been a little more than 3 months since I sent off my paperwork. Are you guys using anything special to clean it? My dealer told me to spray it with Rem Oil EVERY time after you shoot so I was just curious.

[Capbyrd]

Whatever you use to clean your 22's will work fine.

I finally got my stamp back and have played around with mine a little. Tons of fun even if its not the quietest.
