silencer

[rapidave]

hoping that some one might know what or if any thing is missing from my silencer. i bought rifle s/hand . and when i stripped silencer down this .this was all that was inside of it , if any one has some photos of what it should have in side please.

many thanks

Thats about all there is inside it.Took one apart myself .Will see if i can find pics.
I drilled a lot more holes into the plastic tube and used wadding on outside.
Did improve it a bit.
Could always experiment and make some cages and baffles yourself out of hair curlers and repair washers??

Yes thats all there is to those.

thank you Vard  for confirming what is in side of sound moderator. i have used two penny washers with 5 mm hole and a hair curler (from my mum ) ,i have ordered some felt 3 to 4 mm thick so hopefully that will help a lot.

I would also try and experiment with the micro cloth you can get.i found that much better than felt.

[rapidave]

The micro fibre Paul m8.ive tried everything and found this the best.i would say cheapest option to.

Great Kev, got loads of that at work in a lovely shade of pink, it might be full of Covid virus, but it'll do.

how long of a bit of micro fibre do you need  please (and not a bit long enough )what i mean is how many layers of cloth would i need

[KevG]

Depends on diameter of silencer and size of cage or roller you are wrapping it around.for example on a 35mm diameter silencer with a roller of 22 mm.i do 3 rotations of the cloth on say a 24 mm rolller or cage I do 2 rotations of cloth.ive tried most stuff.such as felt and proper speaker and car sound proofing and was shocked the micro cloth worked much better.of course the passage holes are very important on the baffle spacers.smaller the better.
