Shotguneddy Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 When or if your thinking about buying a 12 g hush power I would avoid the baikal fully moderated single it’s like carrying around a drainpipe full of concrete and personally found it to be a very solid gun but it very difficult to use any other recommendations without being a 410 or a 20g hushpower I would b grateful thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldypigeonpopper Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 Hello, I am thinking of fitting the 10 inch hush power silencer to my single barrel 12 bore, need to find out what measurement I need to have on the barrel to take the locking nut / thread tube, it's 25.5 inches with a high rib, and full choke, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really confused now !!!. I rang them last week to order a detachable 10 in for my franchi auto. They said some of the rib has to be removed and categorically said no to steel shot or plaswad cartridges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello, thanks I was looking at what measurement required for the locking nut/ thread tube, I can easily remove the rib and maybe a bit of barrel to have less choke, it's 25.5 inches, it's a 1980s BSA made in italy, has a high rib so thinking would get a better sight line, cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello, from what I have read use fibre cartridges as plastic might catch inside mod, I shall use some lead fibre wad cartridges if the mod reduces the sound enough, ?

mellors Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 This is what I wanted can't see why some of the rib has to be removed. Think I'll ring them again . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello, if I am not mistaken that goes on a barrel that's threaded for chokes and you have to buy the extra choke, the one I am looking at you have fixed locking nut system that goes on the barrel 70 mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello, thanks for the correct term collet clamp that is what I will get if I think it's worth the effort of reduced sound and cutting barrel/ rib. will gun shops open Monday ?

muncher Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 The A- Tec 12 looks a good bit of kit not sure how much quieter it would be but as it has a valley down the sightline it doesn't effect the sight plain. I am a bit tempted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
