Shaun1987 Posted March 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 I got given the gun a few years back and recently been given a permission to shoot rabbits on a local farm. Ive got shotguns but cant use them there, so was wondering what silencer would fit and how i could tune it. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capital Bee Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Well, silencer wise you could get a Webley prosystem, which has a mandril type fit, between 14.3 and 16mm or measure the barrel diameter, buy an adaptor from your barrel to 1/2"unf (on ebay) and get a screw on silencer. For tuning, try any one of the stockists (J Knibbs or Chambers etc, etc) for a tuning kit. Basically new spring with nylon spacers to ease cocking and increase power.

demonwolf444 Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 generally they arnt that loud in my experience, the weight of th silencer WILL affect your POI, when i tryed one on mine the poi dropped about 6 inches, it wasnt all that much quieter.

NIGHT SEARCHER Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 Have a look on here www.airgunpellet.co.uk They do a lot of Silencers. OX springs £11.00. Other box springs £13.00. Piston weights and other tuning bits. If your shooting rabbits out to 35 yds you need the gun up around 11 ftlb for clean kill head shots. What`s it doing if you have had a chance to crono it yet.

bruno22rf Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 Whatever you do-do not make any permanent alterations to the Mercury S-these guns are fast becoming collectors items and if you alter it you will devalue the thing.If its .177 and in good nick wrap it up in a rust protective sleeve and put it away somewhere safe.Buy another gun to mess aropund with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
