I have a howa 1500 .223 stealth kit, it comes with a sonic 45 moderator. There were no fitting instructions but it looked fairly straight forward, it isn't the type of moderator that screws directly on to the barrel. It came with 2 plastic round fittings, one screwed into the barrel the other into the moderator reducing the diameter of the hole that goes onto the barrel.I tested it today and the moderator blew off when I took a shot, I assumed it was because it wasn't on tight enough. So I tightened it further and took another shot. It blew off again and the gases expelled blew back into my face. On inspecting the moderator the bullet seems to have clipped the end of the moderator on the way out. Now the big plastic part is stuck in the thread of the moderator and the smaller one is inside. Does anyone have the setup? What have I done wrong (if anything)?

I have a 2.2 dci and I get 45 mpg

I have indeed googled it and came up with one (the frome one), I wondered if anyone here knew of any or was a member of one. I have emailed the frome club, thanks for the tip off on that forum

Hello all. I am interested in starting this sport but am struggling to find anywhere that does this near me. I am in Wiltshire. Does anyone know of anywhere in myself area that I can do this?

I haven't bothered cleaning the barrels of any of my rimfires, they shoot spot on, if that were to change I would give it a clean.

thanks for your replies, when you say running a patch through, is that some gauze pushed through with a rod?

Apparently the warranty is void when you sell it

Ah ok bit far for me never mind

So I will be getting this when the order comes in within a few weeks. I was wondering when zeroing should I clean the barrel between shots? On my rimmies I didn't bother but have read in a few places people tend to do this. Also is it worth bedding the barrel in by simply shooting 50 or so rounds through it? if so can anyone recommend some cheap ammo to do this. Thanks in advance

I would like this, where are you based?

ok thanks for the information. I would also be willing to swap this for an over and under.
