derbyduck Posted October 4, 2023 Report Share Posted October 4, 2023 (edited) is it possible to buy silencers to fit your shotguns without the expense of going down the route of using a gunsmith ? the reason for me asking is I've just got a permission that whilst rural is rather built up, I'm thinking of getting a barrel for my mossy 500 or buying a cheap single 12g .

Fit it from the breech end by trying, first, factory subsonic ammunition. You may find that alone reduces the noise just enough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen-H Posted October 5, 2023 Report Share Posted October 5, 2023 (edited) You can buy the silencers from hushpower I think they start from £180 needs to be a multi choke gun. Ideal if you could find a short barrel semi auto 24 inch barrels & then add the mod so the overall barrel length isn't to long. A short barreled pump action would actually be better as you could use softer load cartridges without it having cycling issues like a semi auto might have https://youtu.be/Blu-_b5fb0Y?si=i_p-w5S1Lmjoi25Q Edited October 5, 2023 by Stephen-H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL I had a go at that about 50 odd yrs ago , made it out of a hairspray aerosol , I'm sure the rabbit I shot at must have thought I was using a rocket launcher the aerosol went over it 6ft above , I took off faster than the rabbit , my nefarious activities sent a shock wave all down the valley ! 21 hours ago, Kingstevo said: I was in J f Neville at Alfreton the other day and I’m sure he had a cheap 12g silenced single barrel in the rack.

Ultrastu Posted October 5, 2023 Report Share Posted October 5, 2023 I wouldn't recommend making a silencer .it's certainly possible with the correct time, materials and machinery know how .but without you risk huge damage to the gun your self and others .risky .
