silencer

[Bozz]

Hi there i find in the silencer's that i have modded that the kitchen scouring pad's work the best (the green type bit that is on normal sponge cleaners, i found you can get a pack of 5 i think it was different colour's ) its not stopping the sound it's slowing it down that i think works i think that the type of cloth that you can blow through. That's my thought's anyway, oh and small hole's in the washers inside so the pellet just goes through without clipping, happy testing and watch out for that covid19 it lurks about for a long time on some surfaces. All the best Graham.

have now removed old cloth and re fitted with the 5mm thick sponge cloth. it's the blue one. seem to made difference to the sound. now more sound of piston stopping old cloth was from a miele  hoover filter. which is very thin. but will try with extra thick felt when it arrives, kevG can you put up a photo of what you mean please

well i have try'd felt. micro fibre. j-cloth . but to me 5 mm thick sponge cloth seem's to be the quietest of the four that i have used. it's only the sound of the piston now
more like thump. but will try with bigger rollers when i find some,

Is that part of the original baffle you're using there?

[rapidave]

hello Brooksy yes it is, but to day i got some 25 mm dia rollers from superdrug. for £1.99 for 6. i have removed original baffle , and are just using rollers, with micro cloth. on out side , and have put felt inside roller .as kevG. said micro cloth has made a difference ,it's a little bit more quieter. and i have now set up target at 50yards. using 8.4 rsw superfield , and not to bad. any way i am pleased with results.

well silencer is now sorted, shooting it from bench you hear a thwack as piston stop's and at 10 yd's just a thud. and at 20 to 25 yd's nothing at all. i set up a heath robinson job but it worked, i put cord on trigger as pictures show and the video was at 12 foot away,

Is it best to use a small diameter hair curler so that you can get more raps of felt around the outside of them

[rapidave]

hi Maxwell i would of used 22 mm dia hair rollers but i only found 25 mm dia but i am still looking for 22mm  i think that they are only in packets of 6  more then enough to play a round with. i got mine from super drug. they had a sale on
