Adding an inline silencer to a FX Crown Superlight barrel

I own a FX DreamTac compact in .22 with the mk I & II 28mm shroud.
To facilitate the fitting of a powerplenum with the 28mm shroud, I made some custom cones for the superlight barrel.
I already made an internal silencer for a .25 liner with a longer shroud, see this reply.
Recently I've bought a .177 FX Crown barrel kit to fit on my DreamTac using the custom cone.
I purchased the Huma air high flow TP and probe for this kit.
Initially I wasn't planning on adding an inline silencer.
On assembly of the parts I saw, even with the original shroud there is an internal space in the shroud of 85mm.
So next step will be designing and printing an inline silencer for this barrel kit.
I will use the same K-baffle design as the internal .25 silencer I've made.

Difference between original FX Crown cone and custom cone.
