jimmyb79 Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 Hi all, Been using my DM80 moderator on my .17hmr for a few weeks now and have shot approximately 300 rounds through it. I've cleaned it after every outing and just wanted to check with other DM80 owners that whats going on inside is normal... I have to say I thought this mod would be a bit quieter than it is, my SAK moderator which is primarily for use on my .22lr seems a fair bit quieter than this particular DM80. Inside the baffles, there seems to be a build up of crud that I can't shift, either that or its wearing around the holes if that makes sense. I've attached a photo which may or may not assist! I don't think that its clipping but I just wanted to be sure its not wearing too much too soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 I don't have a DM mod and I don't have great eyes, but I can't make out anything from that pic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 It's deformed at about 1 o'clock isn't it? If that is right and it isn't just camera I would have it looked at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyb79 Posted March 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 Apologies but clearly the photo didn't come out as well as I thought! I think the mark at 1 o clock is from manufacture and it is mirrored the other side. I'm more concerned at the state of the hole a bit further down that almost looks like corrosion around it, although the hole still appears perfectly circular. Just wanted to see if it was normal - especially after it does seem to be louder than my SAK... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 Most crud can be removed by using Hoppe's 009. It's very powerful, and I have been using this since the 1980's for all my rifles/shotguns and pistols (when they were legal) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR JAMES Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 (edited) Remmy is right. I have a DM UNIVERSAL so fits my .17HMR & my .22LR provided I change the front exit ring. I have had Sax Sound Mod, Wildcat Whisper / Growler & others on my .17HMR None of which made the HMR as quiet as the DM80 BUT there is no sound mod which can make it totally quiet due to the MV 2600 fps If your not happy phone Dave Mersier, I would give you he's phone number but the one I have for him for some reason no longer works. I to need to speak to him about totaly something else to do with my DM80 SO if any one has it then PLEASE could you PM me it thx Just found an email address for him off here david.mercer80@ntlworld.com Thx all now sorted, emailed him & await a reply.
