New old guy

[mic]

Hi Guys, Mic from New Zealand here, been using air guns for about 45 odd years now.

 

[The Verminhater]

Beautiful country you're from. What guns do you own, and what do you shoot at.

 

[Coypu Hunter]

Welcome aboard.

It's not how big it is, it's what you do with it that counts, according to @Manthing...

I restored a Meteor last year in .22
Lovely little rifles.

Good to have you aboard Mic.

Just received my new silencer from Buck Rail, for my 2250b, kills the sound to a dull fart,
on saying that, someone did say to me "Be loud and proud"---Mic

My HW 77k sounds like a cannon inside farm sheds.

You can either fit a silencer with an adapter, or make baffles to go inside the "silencer" at the end of the barrel (which is just an expansion chamber on mine).

On a 77k.?
Ho no I think not sir.
You could on a 97k sir, but not a 77k sir.
From memory mine has a very techinically scrubbing pad and a hair curler in it.

 

[The Verminhater]

Not sure on my 77k, as it has a venom style front end.

Senility creeping in... I read it as 97K...

I put a very high-tech mini paint roller head inside mine, with a few holes drilled through it to vent the air into the fluffy outside bit. Works a treat.

Now I know who makes all the ventilation holes in shed roof panels.
My 77 .22 is good at it as well,come to think of it so is my HW100 ,there was one gun that you could reduce the power of,our pest control guy had one.

You can get an adaptor to screw thread and the later HW silencers are very good,dont use them but have one for the 100.When I tried it the gun just gave a pop but it made the gun too long for ease of use.

Have a look. Does look more like a wraparound or possibly a slim shroud.
