BraMit Silencer for Mosin Rifle M1891/30

A replica of the early 1940's "BraMit/БраМит" ("Mitin Brothers") silencer/suppressor for the Soviet M1891/30 Mosin-Nagant rifle. Apparently designated the obr. S-40 silencer in Soviet service and Schalldämpfer 254(r) as German capture, later copied for Germany's own service rifles. The basic function is a sectioned metal tube with a bayonet mount, two expansion chambers, an internal baffle, and two 15mm thick rubber blocks which needed replacing after 100 sub-sonic rounds fired. Never widely used outside of partisan groups and special forces, but an interesting piece of history nevertheless. This prop was mostly based on Finnish, Soviet, and German drawings and measurements of the device, with photographies filling in some blanks. I slightly thickened the walls and simplified the threads. Would strongly recommend against trying it out on a real fire arm, but it does a decent job of muffling the sound of an airsoft replica.
