Citizen Khan Posted June 21, 2022 Report Share Posted June 21, 2022 Hello everyone Brought a lovely Springer HW99S with hawke scope. Keep 4 chickens and have had probls with Rats and also squirrels ravaging the bird feed so far approx 8 rats and 12 squirrel. I know it's not alot by others counts however for an amateur I'm thoroughly enjoying newly acquired toy. Thinking PCP next as cocking the damn thing and noise it makes. Not sure how the neighbours find the plinking and noise but they haven't said anything yet! 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Citizen Khan Posted June 21, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2022 Oh m8 love to have a tinker but I rather keep things as they are then ruin a good thing by doing a bodge job. Have read about a few tuning specialists who could get the job done but then finds could be put toward a decent PCP set up to keep neighbours happy - less noise and more covert hunting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manthing Posted July 2, 2022 Report Share Posted July 2, 2022 You'll need a mod for either if it's about keeping the neighbours happy. My ultra has a right bark when nekid. Much louder than my 97k. Your 99 is a good gun just practice and put a mod on it if you think it's annoying your neighbours but most of the noise is right by your ear and not that noticeable away from the gun. I used to take rabbits on a paddock permission a few yards away from each other with my bog standard 97k. Fitting a tbt kit and a short stroke extension is a doddle on a hw, loads of tubeyou vids and the man himself is always happy to give advice, spoke to him a couple of times myself. I'll probably end up putting a kit and sse in my new 77k as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldypigeonpopper Posted July 4, 2022 Report Share Posted July 4, 2022 (edited) Hello, as above a silencer will help if not already have one, you can buy a dedicated 99 HW one or take the front sight off and buy a slip on silencer, I think they are 15 mm diameter ?
