How much of the noise is from port pop and muzzle blast versus the action sounds? The bolt slamming home on my 10/22 is obnoxiously loud and I wear earplugs even while shooting that suppressed. I tend to prefer shooting repeater and single shot firearms suppressed. Don't get me wrong, I'll suppress every firearm I can, but repeaters are a lot quieter than self loaders.
I wonder how much you can mitigate that with a printed receiver and a Proto Barrel. More plastic, less metal, quieter action?
Yeah, I'm sure if the receiver was printed it would cut the noise down quite a lot.
