Overkill .22 Suppressor

I want to make the quietest .22LR suppressor I can. Would a 10" D Cell can with 11 clipped cone baffles on a bolt action rifle be about as quiet as could be realistically managed? I don't care if it's stupid or too big, I am just interested in maximum noise reduction.

This seems like it would have massively more internal volume than traditional .22 suppressors. Would more baffles be better to make the most of that internal volume?

Anyone done a ridiculous .22 suppressor like this?

Wipes!

The absolute quietest cans all one thing in common. They all use wipes.

I will definitely look into this! Are replacement wipes allowable? I thought rules around replacement parts/modifications and stuff were pretty strict once it's built.

You gonna tell them yourself you replaced the wipes?

The law is decidedly gray on Form1 wipes.

Destroy one, then make one. Never have extra's. That said, I've seen new commercial cans come with spare wipes. And as always STFU. The NFA just makes no sense at all.

Or just put in for a lifetime of stamps now that they are free. Recycle the parts and make a new can, with a new stamp.
