BraMit Silencer for Nagant M1895 Revolver

cults3d

A replica of the 1930's BraMit/БраМит ("Mitin Brothers") silencer/suppressor for the Soviet M1895/30 Nagant service pistol. And yes, this particular revolver was actually suppressable due to the cylinder repositioning to create a gas seal! The silencer seem to have varied quite a bit in appearance and design over the years. I combined the externals of a clockwise-locking version with straight instead of tiny diamond knurling as matter of taste and ease-of-print, with another version (possibly much newer) that had easily assembled internals. If there's any interest I could do another one with the diamond knurling. The basic function is a sectioned metal tube with a bayonet mount, a series of baffles, and a rubber block on both ends. Rubber blocks needed changing after a predetermined number of special rounds fired. Not quite sure how widely they were used, but it’s an interesting piece of history nevertheless. This prop was mostly based on photographies as I couldn't find many consistent real measurements of the wartime device. 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.
