Just because

I would like a suppressor to mount on, say, a Sharps or Remington Rolling Block in .45-70.

For those times you don't want to use the can, I'd have a thread protector that matches the barrel profile.  And it would be funny as hell to watch someone's face as you removed it, and then started screwing the can on.

It would have to be a type that can be taken apart for cleaning, but I'm sure there's one out there.

I like the way you think.

A muzzle loading rifle was sold with a permanently attached suppressor, but that seems to have gone away.

You don't need to clean rifle silencers. They're high powered enough that the concussion cleans them out. It's .22 silencers that need to be cleaned. So long as you don't exceed 2650 FPS, this silencer will work.

They make a .50 version as well.

No. Just... no.

Hmmmm...what would black powder do to a suppressor Firehand?😆

Most suppressors say not to use lead bullets, so you'd have to either use jacketed, or be able to get it apart for cleaning. Throw in, as Glen notes, the fouling from black, and you'd HAVE to be able to clean it out. Thoroughly.

With jacketed and smokeless, oh yeah, I've heard good things about those. Friend of mine uses it on his .300 Win Mag, and loves it.
