silver_fox Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 What do you think is the best .22LR rimfire moderator on the market? I bought a Sako mod just because a friend has one that sounds pretty quiet. I'm very pleased with it, but it's the only one I've seen working, Did I make the right choice?

So long as your using subsonic ammo they are all pretty quiet but as allways you get what you pay for If it wern't illegal to try an un proofed moderator that isn't on your FAC on you rifle you would probably be quiet suprised at how effective they are! Especially the logun rang I would imagine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tulkyuk Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 Careful boys, this is an open forum Sak is not the same as Sako Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigGun1 Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 Careful boys, this is an open forum Sak is not the same as Sako Here Here! I would never condone fitting an un-proofed part to any rifle, however I should imagine the vortex would be effective if it were proofed have a look, what do you think?? http://www.targetsports.co.uk/index.php?cPath=232_268 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry skimmed the post and didnt appreciate the big O on the end I was seriously impressed though with just how much quieter the SAK is compared with the Parker Hale.

Dougy Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 i would not use a evo apart from the fact its not proofed,. they have, or did have plastic baffels which would as your aware soon burn out using it on a rimfire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dusk2dawn Posted November 3, 2007 Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 SAK Mod Now you have me worried, I recently purchased a new CZ .22 and the RFD sold me a SAK mod saying it was the biz at a reasonable price and being very quiet, I went along with this, but after following a link above I note that this mod should only be fitted to air rifles. So who is right, does anyone else use this mod on a rimfire? D2D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tulkyuk Posted November 3, 2007 Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 the link you followed says only airrifles, as they are not rfd and cant sell you a proofed mod - a Sak is perfectlly fine for a 22rf and a 17hmr thousands are used every day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Sick Old Man Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 You can use an unproofed moderator on a firearm, but you can not sell an unproofed moderator that is to be used on a firarm. So if your RFD sells you a moderator that you " SAY " is to be used on an air gun then thats fine if you later place it on a firearm, but you MUST have it on your ticket!! That is to say if you are stopped by the boys in blue using a firearm that has a moderator attached then you must be authorised to possess it on your FAC, but should you attemp to ask for a T8 or other full bore moderator to put on your air gun you will be told NO!! RFD's can not get away with selling these as an air gun moderator, its similar with possession on the street, should you get stopped with a small moderator such as a SAK or ASE ultra and you have no firearms cert stating that you can possess such an item, then you can state that its for you air rifle and you will be ok, you will not get away with this if you have a bloomin great full bore can. Sounds daft I know but there is a grey area around this bit of firearms legislation, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuck1 Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 SAK is fine on rimfire - however the shorter barrelled models of rifle do leave more crud in there so more cleaning is required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
