Centrepin Posted April 7, 2020 Report Share Posted April 7, 2020 Can anyone recommend an affordable moderator (silencer) for a pre 1968 Heanel 303 please. I'm currently restoring and refurbishing a gun that has sentimental value rather than monetary value. Its always been very noisy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gameking Posted April 7, 2020 Report Share Posted April 7, 2020 (edited) IME on springers the noise tends to come from the action rather than the muzzle blast ( opposite of PCP's). Are you still using the open sights ? if so then you will need to remove to fit mod unless you can source a rare Air Logic adaptor that had a facility for retaining open sights. The Webley Pro system should do the job -- these come up on ebay or post a wanted ad on the airgun forums ( airgunbbs.com) is the best one - I have been on that since 2000 when it started. ) If you measure the barrel diameter many shops offer 1/2 UNF adaptors fitted by grub screw which then gives you the widest choice of moderators as all the best ones come in 1/2 UNF thread options.(https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=crosman+silencer+adaptor+&_sacat=0) Protek supplies also good for vintage spares / parts (http://www.proteksupplies.co.uk/) these may also be able to help with the Haenel.
