SILENCER SATURDAY #328: Considering Again To… My First Suppressor – The Liberty Mystic
Good afternoon everybody and welcome again to TFB’s Silencer Saturday delivered to you by Yankee Hill Machine, producers of the model new YHM 338 Dangerous Larry Suppressor. Final week we Ran by all of the obtainable YHM mounting options. This week we return in time to check out my first suppressor – a first-generation Liberty Mystic 9mm suppressor that now lives on a Ruger 77/357 bolt motion SBR. It’s been just a few years since I shot this silencer/host mixture, so let’s have a look.
Extra @ TFB:
Editor’s Be aware: The legal guidelines and laws surrounding the Nationwide Firearms Act (NFA) are difficult. Know and perceive your native, state, and federal legal guidelines earlier than making any alterations to firearms and suppressors. I personally imagine that NFA laws shouldn’t exist, however till the legal guidelines are repealed, make certain to remain protected and authorized.
My first order of enterprise after I moved from a “restricted” state to a free state was to leap head first into the silencer world. Earlier than phone service, a cable hookup, or car registrations, I positioned an order with an FFL in my neighborhood that might later present me with the power to overview suppressors whereas I waited for my varieties to be accredited. My first suppressor, a Liberty Mystic, arrived on the supplier earlier than I moved into my home in unoccupied territory. The remaining, as they are saying, is historical past.
My motivations behind shopping for the Liberty Mystic had been primarily targeted on price range. On the time I used to be pretty money poor and I assumed that purchasing a multi-caliber suppressor would imply I that I might suppress all of my weapons with one buy and one tax stamp. I used to be each beneath educated and naive.

Not that the Liberty Mystic was an underperforming silencer; it suppressed 9mm carbines comparatively nicely and was satisfactory on 9mm pistols. Nevertheless, it’s a lengthy and heavy suppressor, particularly when utilizing the fastened barrel adapter. And whereas it’s rated for rimfire rounds (it may be disassembled simply) it was a poor alternative as a rimfire suppressor. Two weeks later I broke my price range projections and bought an actual rimfire silencer.
Because it’s an extended/heavier can, I made a decision to dedicate the Mystic to a rifle platform, deciding on the Ruger 77/357. In these preliminary years, I used to be adamantly in opposition to this 300 Blackout “development” that the cool children had been leaping into for subsonic capturing. In actuality, I used to be sitting on a very good provide of subsonic .38 Particular rounds and didn’t find the money for shopping for a brand new rifle and ammunition.
The Mystic is a monocore design with 15 baffles and chambers. With a single piece chrome steel core, it’s simple to take care of however can undergo from first spherical pop with the suitable ammo and host. Fortunately, the Ruger 77/357 with subsonic .38 Particular wadcutters was the right match for the Mystic and I made a decision to formalize their relationship with a everlasting mating of inventory inletting and colour matching.

On this good spring Saturday afternoon, I sat on a bench within the yard with the Mystic/Ruger 77 mixture and a field of .38 Particular ammo and leisurely clicked off rounds at my customary goal setup. Possibly it was the .38 Particular rounds or the extremely quiet report from a bolt motion rifle host, however I drifted off right into a daydream, fascinated about all the nice occasions I’ve had with suppressed firearms. There actually is nothing like capturing a top quality can on a very good host with the suitable ammo. And typically it takes going again to these first experiences to really recognize all of it.
