Some rifles in .22LR had very long barrels. The Swedes made one (CG-63) with a 74 cm (30 inches) barrel. When .22 Short rounds were used the firing was nearly inaudible as the powder was completely burned up inside the barrel before the bullet exited the muzzle. This was like firing a silenced rifle but without using a silencer.

I wonder why they went with a barrel so long. 22lr seems hardly have enough powder not to be breaked down with such barrel length. -- hmm. DID anybody rebuild mosins to 7,62x39? not a strong reason why one should, 7,62x54R isn't exactly expensive, but... could be fun. that 22, too. brit no9 would outshoot that SO bad though.
