    i have a 20g silver pigeon, 

    plus points:

     1, its not that long compared to a mossberg silenced

    2, POA isnt that bad with a comb extension its good 

    3, it looks really cool and no one else has one 

    4, its properly quiet - movie quiet 

    Bad points:

    1, its expensive

    2, its a nightmare to clean ( especially if you go clay shooting with it a few times) 

    3, 20g subsonic 30g no5's are expensive 

    4, took a  while to convert 

    overall i like mine and would recommend it 

    That's just the info I was looking for

     

    Cheers

    Yep I wasn't always a doctor and used to often just wear ear plugs and forgot a few times

    It's your left ear that gets hammered as the stock protects the right one

    Some folk are more susceptible to it than others it seems

    I'd have looked silly with my ear cans on dancing on front of the speakers in the nightclub mind you 😆

    It's the shock wave from the expanding gases leaving the barrel that's the trouble some will get transmitted from the breech to the air and by direct contact but its the shock wave that's the prob hence moderated gun would help

    😂 yes wearing double ear protection of earplugs and ear defenders together helps but still doesn't stop the blast transmitting through the skull.....

    The army now use skull caps for intensive shooting situations for that reason

    I know a couple of the lads on here have hushpowers and the topic has prob been done to death

    Mainly interested in the reloading angle and whether it's worth butchering my silver pigeon or selling it to fund the replacement option

    Just found out I've got good going hearing loss from misspent youth and shooting

    Thinking of options as don't want to deteriorate. have eardefenders like a cyber man now.....

    Ideally need quiet with range for pigeons and crows and hopefully steel shot to future proof. So either 12g or 20g. I know steel shot are fast but would still be quieter with mod

    I've shot a 20g mossy pump and that was pretty quiet but handled badly

    1. Give up shotgunning last resort

    2. Hushpower mod to my 12g silver pigeon o/u. Has anyone got one of these modded in 12 or 20g?

    3. Hushpower or atec can on my escort 12g

    4. Investarm o/u hushpower but not keen on fact it handles like a piece of scaffold and prob won't fit in the cabinet

    5. Don't like the mossberg pumps due to stock and poi. I'm 6 foot 2....

    Not adverse to reloading as quite low volume shooting

    Anyone got some sage wisdom and experience that may help?

    Cheers

    Hi Mate,

     

    I'm up in Newcastle upon Tyne at the moment. I can give you the asking price-as long as the inside of the mod where it goes over the barrel has no rust spots on it (my RFD was trying to sell me a couple of used mods that looked like they'd rot my barrel!)

     

    Is there any chance you could get the mod delivered to my local RFD-I'm sure most couriers will pick it up from you and deliver it for a small cost?

     

    I will be back in Liverpool for a week or so so could potentially drive down-but I dont fancy spending the £70 in diesel and the 8 hours it will take me <_<

     

    Cheers

    I wonder if there's a stiffer spring in the 3 1/2 inch magnum model that stops the lighter carts from cycling? I handled a couple of different semis that really didnt get on with 2 1/2 inch carts for whatever reason though-seemed to be length rather than load that was the trouble. I'm sure there's someone on here who knows the more scientific answer!
