ALL the components including threaded end cap are available on AliExpress. The US authorities are trying desperately to close that loophole. LOL.

Making your own was seen as a way of bypassing the red tape but you know what officials are like, unfortunately. There are YouTube videos on the subject.

Biffo1262 Posted September 16, 2023 Report Share Posted September 16, 2023 Let me know how you go on. I had some of those cone baffles in a pretty long unbranded German silencer and even though it was a .22 silencer they created that much turbulence inside the pellets clipped on every shot. Even on one of my .177 rifles they went all over the place. I took them out and made two washer baffles to give me three chambers and used plastic hair curlers and scouring pads to line them. Accuracy arrived both in .177 and .22 and it was just as quite. The cone baffles had loads of alloy chips taken out of the front (entry) of the cone so heaven know what the damn pellets were doing internally.

Hello, will do but both my PCPs have silencers on, I might try the 79 but I will need a new adapter as I glued the 3D one on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
