Merlin64 Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 I bought this for my S410 and to be honest when I shoot at night the whole field clears of rabbits and the next one after a shot . Yet on the You Tube vids I see guys shooting them at 30-40 yards one after another with minimal disturbance . I know wind direction helps but it seems to happen every time . Any thoughts or suggestions ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secretagentmole Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 No they are not much use, try a Twink or an HW! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbo33 Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 (edited) No they are not much use, try a Twink or an HW! Agree, virtually useless. Get an HW100 mod. You can fit it with an adapter which doesn't work very well, and they look rubbish. They don't tighten properly and will induce clipping. I bought a second hand HW mod, took the internals out of the AA mod and put the HW internals in it. You will have to file the HW baffles (washers) down a bit a they are slightly larger, and trim back the haircurlers/felt. Its now whisper quiet Edited November 5, 2012 by turbo33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiedenny Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 A toilet roll tube is probably just as good. Hw all the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin64 Posted November 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 looks like I got twisted at the gun shop , he said it was top notch for the 410 . The HW one needs a bit of work tho according to turbo 33. I just want one I can buy and go , without the myther thanks . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbo33 Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 (edited) Unfortunately with the s410 having such a thin barrel and the end machined specifically for the AA mod, the only option you have then is to use an adapter so you can screw the HW mod on or any other with a 1/2 inch thread. With the s510 and many others that have a shrouded barrel, they will be screw cut for a mod. Edited November 5, 2012 by turbo33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin64 Posted November 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 How about taking the AA silencer to bits and modifying it . Can it be done ? They are only made up of felt washers and hair curlers arent they ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbo33 Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 How about taking the AA silencer to bits and modifying it . Can it be done ? They are only made up of felt washers and hair curlers arent they ? You can try. Go on youtube and do a search on aa mod. I tried all sorts, even replicating the HW internals. Weihrauch must have magic dust sprinkled on thier parts because you can't get close!! Getting the AA mod apart is the trickiest bit as they are threadlocked on. The HW has an allen key cut in the muzzle end so its easy to take apart. Once you have the two mods apart, it will take you half an hour of carefull filing. If you have a mate with a lath to turn the washers down, even better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin64 Posted November 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 Got it apart in seconds . It has a mainspring running through it , surrounded by 2 hair curlers with felt thickly packed around it . Not alot for £38 is it ? I have not pulled it out as it is very tight and I bet it wont go in the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 Cant say as my AA silencer/mod is loud and theres a huge difference if you take it off-shot 2 squirrels off my shed roof Sun morning-second customer jumped at the sound of pellet impact on his pal but only ran a few feet-if he heard the shot as the gun fired second time he made a huge,life changing,mistake by not moving .My S400 is putting out 11 ft/lb-maybe guns nearer the limit are a bit more vocal??

Merlin64 Posted November 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 Yeah I just watched the video of a guy copying the weirauch and doing a sound check at 30 yds with original and modified silencer . I could bareley tell the difference between them so think ill just stay as i am . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbo33 Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 You will have to take both ends off as there is a thick washer in the middle that you wont be able to remove without serious damage. Just put your choice of filling in from both ends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin64 Posted November 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 One good thing came out of it . The rust had started where you slide the silencer onto the barrel about an inch . So cleaned it up and oiled it , good as new . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackinbox99 Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 Well, my s410 came with the standard Air Arms silencer and when i fire it, the only thing i can hear is the hammer and the pellet hitting its target. Not being one to keep a gun standard for long, I decided to "upgrade" it to a brand new HW100 silencer. The difference? F all. I cant tell any difference at all. Both are as quiet as each other. Ive no idea if my Air Arms silencer has been modified, but i really doubt it. As someone else said, the higher the power your gun, the more noise it will generate. Mines running 11.5.

steve_b_wales Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 On my S410 FAC I have a shrouded barrel, with no thread on the end. To get around this, I purchased a moderator adaptor which fits over the shroud and has an 1/2" thread, then I fitted a SAK moderator. The rifle is now very quiet when firing it.

Iced Tiger Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 Both my AA moderators fitted to my TX and 510 are quieter on than off, never tried any othe make or modifications. Not had any issues when out hunting rabbits, never done a sound check. Could do to do a sound check with a camera/recorder to check the sound difference at hunting range of 30 yards.

Merlin64 Posted November 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 Yes Im thinking its always virtually zero wind when I shoot rabbits , and I am surrounded by woods around the fields that can echo the shot sound . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackinbox99 Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 100 pc agree with jackinbox,,,, Cheers. From the sounds of it, I think the silencer the OP has must be faulty or the gun has some sort of issue. Ive been out shooting rabbits before and if theres 2 rabbits sitting there side by side, i can shoot one, and the other one doesnt even look up - so you can then reload and put a pellet in him too.
