hoggysreels Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 (edited) Is it possible to obtain and fit a carbon shround setup with a modrator to a 15mm barrel ? .... l'd consider fitting a shorter moderator than it currently has if the shroud has a contributing noise suppression effect. I know there are dedicated set ups made for specific pcp's ... so l'm enquiring to find out if its possible to fit the set up to a Lothar Walther barrel that doesn't have a particular kit available currently from the rifle manfacturer. Secondly - does shrouding the barrel quiten down the rifle? ... having fitted a moderator which has considerably reduced the noise level; l thought it might be worth going that bit further and having a shroud fitted .. if l go to the extent of purchasing and fabricating the shroud to fit l'd really expect a notiable reduction in noise. I wouldn't bother with expense and effort if its really more for cosmetic effect in the main ... your opinion appreciated Edited March 18, 2015 by hoggysreels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evo Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 shrouds do work pete but I don't know if you could get one made to fit the walther r8, personally I would not waste your hard earned cash having it done,if you want a shrouded barrelled gun then trade it in for the BSA r10mk2 with the shrouded barrel,,brilliant rifle mate and nice and light but most importantly they are super accurate, the r10 I had was faultless and to be honest I was sorry I got rid,they are a cracking rifle pete and the one I had was better than my s410 hope that helps pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoggysreels Posted March 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 Im thinking along the lines of something lightweight ... my back is troubling me a bit as is my neck. So lm thinking lightweight even at the cost of shot count etc ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisjpainter Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 Might I recommend a tuned Ultra and then have a shroud put on instead of a silencer? They're proper little lightweights and you can get seriously good after market regulators, as well as some decent shroud options. I think Ratworks does a pretty decent carbon wrapped shroud that is effective. Obviously after market moderations don't come cheap, but you can get a seriously good little shooter with a bit of time and effort in hunting out a second hand deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
