If it's a barrel blank, it sounds like it was intended to be for rimfire. .22 RF is slightly smaller than .224. Don't recall exactly but I thought it was .222, but more likely .223. Sounds like it would have to be chambered and threaded/machined to fit something regardless of what it's going on.

Just how close are the neighbors? Maybe I missed it, but what kind of setting is this? Heard all kind of suggestions from air rifles to 22-250. Addressing those 2 first, an air rifle isn't loud compared to a powder burner, at least. And it would have to be one of the big bores to meet the OP's requirements. And 150 yards would be a fairly long poke for one of those. And I believe a (loud) 22-250 is not needed for a beaver. Though it does bring up a good point, in that one loud shot might be preferable to half a dozen quieter ones.
150 seems like an awful long range requirement to kill beavers. And I agree with KodiacJack on the issue.
Beavers aren't a long range proposition, but it shouldn't be overly tough to get within 25 yards or closer usually. Of course it is possible to kill one at 150 with a low velocity bullet. A 240 gr. .429 moving at 900 fps should be fairly quiet.
I think all the PCC are pretty quiet relatively speaking. Meaning the 9mm, .40 S&W and .45 ACP mainly. Of those 3, it would be easiest going sub-sonic with factory .45.
If the OP doesn't reload, and has a .44 Magnum, or .357, using .44 Special, and .38 Special respectively won't make very much noise.

I've got several neighbours about 200 yards away from the water. Pond is about 300 yards long. Beavers torment me every year, May and June especially. They like willow and popular the best and save the birch for desert. I've missed so many 'in water' shots that now I wait, and hope they climb up on the bank. Muskrats also look similar to a beaver, in the water. Good point about getting folks used to shooting, I've heard that before. I really like the lever action long barrelled rifles, and a handgun cartridge would be just right for me.

Doubt anyone going to custom make a 22LR barrel for a single brand of ammo.
I've mistaken poor muskrats for beaver many times as dusk approaches. I'll watch the wake next time. Thank you for the advice. Too bad about the Auguila sniper 22's. I might try a box in the Cooey anyway. Most of my shots have been near the back of the critter, as it eats my trees. I cannot wait until he bolts for the water. The 22 CCI segmented quiets are a little lacking.

I myself tried Aquila SSS out of several rifles.
My best results were with USSR made Toz-17 rifle.
I heard from others that many Anschutz rifles work quite well with them too.
In my experiment I could hit a baseball sized target at 60 yards with the iron tangent sliding ramp sight.
Not sure the extra elevation required 120(?)

My ex wife's grandfather was the designated sniper with Calgary Highlanders WW2. Before and after the war his 25/20 carbine was the money maker.

I've yet to run the SSS from me other .22's, but my Bergara B14R didn't like 'em.
The two holes at 80 yds on the bottom of the target paper were the only ones outta 5 that showed up fer the party. The S1 & 2 holes were sighter shots with Blazers.
I had lots of fun with me Spanish Destroyer carbine in 9mm Largo over the years that I had 'er. That rifle accounted fer a pile of critters over the 20+ yrs I used 'er.
Loaded with 158 gr hardcast boolits (Sized to .356) at 800 fps, the bugger was into 1.5" at 80 yds. A few deer went into the freezer using that puppy.
Nicely neighbor friendly to boot.

You'd be wrong.

From the page:
"If you've tried shooting Aguila 60 grain .22LR ammunition in your 10/22, you know that they will not stabilize in a factory 1:16 twist barrel. Accuracy is not what it could be and most of them keyhole into the the target sideways. But for hard knockdown power from a .22LR, the 60 grain Aguila bullet is almost impossible to beat. The solution? We have it! Our Blued Ruger 10/22 16.5" long barrel that is rifled 1:9 TWIST which is ideal for the heavier bullet. To make it even better, this drop in replacement barrel in factory taper configuration is already professionally CNC threaded 1/2x28 TPI and comes WITH the thread protector.# The barrels are perfect for any 1/2x28 threaded suppressor or accessory.#
The barrels are 4140 series US Certified steel and are polish blued finish.# The barrels do not have any iron sights installed and are designed to be used with a receiver mounted scope or similar optics.# Installation is fast and easy with no modifications to your rifle.# Simply remove the stock, unscrew the 2 cap screws that hold the barrel in, remove your factory barrel and install this new one.
If you shoot or want to try the heavier Aguila 60 grain bullet with all of its performance advantages, this is the barrel that you'll want to shoot it through. Supplies are limited on this specialty barrel. Order today!"
