.457 Donnyfl from .457 Texan to .357 Texan

[crittahitta]

I have a Big ole Donnyfl on my .457 Texan carbine and love it. A little long but works great. I recently got .357 Texan carbine and just received the adapter. The Donnyfl will fit both guns. I won't have a chance to shoot it for a while(until deer season is over) Do you think the bigger .457 will stop the sound good enough or am I looking at buying a new one in .357 in the near future? Thanks. Hopefully someone has done something similar with a big bore.

Yes, it should work. I have one .30 Donny Ronin that can be used to great effect on my other 2 guns (.22 & .25). As it is, even Donny recommends going 1 caliber up for the moderator (i.e., using a .25 mod for a .22) Even though I'm not as "big bore" as you I think you'll be surprised at how effective they are. WORST case scenario, you try it THEN decide.

Yes, the smaller cal will be sufficiently suppressed. This assumes that the smaller cal is putting out less FPE than the larger one.
