cant hit rabbits 123 Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 Evening chaps, I have an SA2 springer in .177 and I'm using it more and more nowadays for all sorts. I'm looking into getting a telescopic sight set up and a moderator for it. It goes off with quite a crack. I have two questions that I hope PW can answer for me. A) will a moderator help with the noise and B) as the barrel is not threaded can I tap it out myself to a common thread and fit a mod for that thread or do I need to find a specially branded one with adaptor etc and send the rifle to a 'smith? Thanks all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cant hit rabbits 123 Posted November 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 (edited) Can no one help at all? I know I'm not a serious airgunner, but I could still do with a little help.

Beardo Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 get a Weihrauch moderator - they can be bought with a grub screw fit so will work on a non threaded barrel. it's will make a fair difference to the sound. http://airgunbuyer.com/details.asp?cat=Accessories&SubCat=Silencers%20Accessories&Product=2514 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cant hit rabbits 123 Posted November 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 (edited) Thanks Mr Beardo! Edit, checked the muzzle end, and the barrel is totally covered by a plastic shroud supporting the fore sight. Not sure now how to get round this as I don't really want to remove the fore sights and reducing it back may damage its integrety.

demonwolf444 Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 its more that it takes around 2000's pellets for all the parts to mate together a bit and smooth out which will break the rifle in and reduce noice quite a bit gradually, and also that its generally accepted that springers dont make much noise anyway, and the sound of the spring cannot be / is hard to dampen anyway so a supressor doesnt do much, also the fact its not an extremely well known make might stop some answering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattF Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 The fore sight is probably held on by a grub screw but to fit a silencer the fore sight will have to come off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
