Also wondered what cost is. 14-15" seems to be about the norm, it's a lot easier to use, especially if you are bunny bashing out of a motor. Neither accuracy or velocity is affected to the point that you will notice a difference. Cost depends on the guy doing the job, do you have any mates in a machine shop, or who own a lathe? It's simply a 1/2" UNF thread. Silencer will be 20-30 quid. Edited May 1, 2008 by bob300w Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob300w Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 (edited) If you go to an RFD, you could reduce the cost by stripping the gun down and just take the barrel to him. Edited May 1, 2008 by bob300w Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicholiath Posted May 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 Good idea its dead easy to strip the 597. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
