Burney Posted January 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 Also it’s just got a spring inside rather than baffles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burney Posted January 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 I’m in the process of buying a .223 so wasn’t sure if it would go on that not I think it may of one on a old 22 I bought years ago but not sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I don’t believe a rimfire rated moderator would be suitable for centrefire pressures? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I can find on jls sound mods say there rated to .243 but not sure it the same as the 1 I have. Was hoping some on here knew more about them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Best Posted January 18, 2021 Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 Myself, I have only seen mods with a spring inside on air rifles. Which proves nothing, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fil Posted January 27, 2021 Report Share Posted January 27, 2021 I've got a couple of old JLS Stalker mods in the workshop. These came off a .243. I'm guessing yours wasn't proofed as it would have the calibre stated on it along side the proof mark. You could measure the bore hole at the muzzle for what calibre/s it was made for. I can measure mine tomorrow with a pair of verniers when I'm in the workshop for you if you haven't already found out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes if you could that would be great I will order a set of verniers now cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fil Posted January 28, 2021 Report Share Posted January 28, 2021 Right. Sadly the JLS went some time back. However yours (if it's like the one's I had) should be about 10 inches long and 1 1/2" in diameter. (shows you how old these are and how technology has moved on. Still work great though) You say you think it might have come off an old .22 you had. If it is the size of a .22 rimfire mod then NO. It will disappear after a few shots on a centre fire .22 For .243 the mods usually come with a internal diameter suitable for calibres up to and including 6.5mm. So as long as yours is the dimensions stated and the internals are larger than 6mm then yes it should be suitable for a .223 and upto a .243.... but I haven't seen yours so all of this is just from what I have had/seen/used. Unless the JLS is gratis I would rather get something like a Hausken MD35. They are tiny compared, not much bigger than a rimfire mod and sell for less than a £100.00. None of my business, but you say you are putting in for a .223 but already have the mod, perhaps for a rifle you don't own anymore. Is it on your ticket? Just asking because the feds might not like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes mate the jls is on my ticket but it down as unknown sound moderator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lloyd90 Posted January 28, 2021 Report Share Posted January 28, 2021 Would it even be legal to slap any old (off ticket!) mod you find on a FAC rifle? Aside from that the fact you don't seem to be unable to work out what calibre it's even for. Dangerous vs potentially illegal if tried ... not sure which is more concerning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the looks of it mate you have only read bits of the thread as o have stated it’s on ticket as unknown moderator and also stated that I have bought 2 .223 mods now so no need for it to go on the rifle. Would just be nice to know what caliber it’s rated to. Thanks for you concern tho mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
