Semi auto, short barrel that cycle cci quiet?

I haven’t tried it myself, but Dlask makes an extended charging handle for the 10-22 that has multiple springs so that you can tune your rifle to the ammo that you’re shooting. Entirely possible that it might work. I’d give Dlask a call and find out.
You could try using CCI Quiet Semi-Auto instead of the regular Quiet.
I could not cycle the Quiet Segmented HP’s reliably in a 10/22 even with the subsonic spring from the Dlask Guide Rod Kit mentioned above (see pic below).
I almost got it to work by radiusing the bolt and polishing everything with Scotch-Brite, but ejection was still too weak, with lots of stove piping.
In contrast, the Quiet Semi-Auto cycled so well that I could go back to the standard spring.

Yes, the semi auto Quiets seem to be in stock — Tenda for example has bricks on sale for $74.99 right now.
The noise difference compared to regular Quiets is there but it’s small — maybe similar to the difference between a 16” and 20” barrel. I have an SPL meter but never bothered to measure it. The subjective test would be to load alternating rounds and A/B them back to back, but I can say that if I’m wearing ears and not paying attention I won’t notice the difference.
I've flirted with this idea too, getting a semi to run on these. At the end of the day, looking at the expense of trial and error + my experience trying to get these types of rounds to shoot accurately out of anything=not something I chose to pursue. I get the appeal though! 
Closest I've come to a solution I like-recently picked-up a sweet old Remington 572 and bought a brick+ of CB shorts. Such a short pump stroke, smooth-operating gun. Fits a nice pile of those shorts too. Takes me back to when CB LONGs were the only "quieter" option.

I'm running "CCI Quiet Semi Auto" in a GSG-16 and it runs flawless. CCI Quiet, non Semi Auto Version, do not cycle. The Semi Auto version is slightly louder.
