blasterjudd Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 Hi all I have owned a few silencers on pcps but wondered what you think to Theobens Vortex Silencer on a Theoben Rapid as i believe they do not silence the gun as much as a Webley QGS silencer? do any of you think the same? Also have any of you tried any different silencers on your Theoben Rapids? Or have you any shrewd ideas how to improve Theobens Vortex silencers? Interested to hear your views and any suggestions? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windage Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 Hi yes i also found my vortex moderator not up to the task but had a new barrel and thread hw100 mod and yes jobs a good one but my Theoben mk2 is fac and pumps out 30 ft lbs and is as quite as all my other rifles sub 12ftlbs ps my mind the rapid is by far the best hunting option still on the market Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bullet boy Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 I use a AWT silencer on my Rapid 17 and use a SAK on my FAC Rapid. Personally I don't like Theoben Vortex silencers! The AWT makes my Rapid whisper quiet!Brilliant bit of kit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catweazle Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 I wasn't impressed with the Vortex on my Mk2 Rapid, so I removed the internals and made my own - much better. It wasn't difficult, don't know why Theoben don't improve the design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullet boy Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 Theoben are slacking a little IMO!They haven't brought out a new rifle for a number of years now! Yes Theoben could upgrade a few things including their silencers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
