SNAKEBITE Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 Is there any way of fitting a silencer to a HW57 (underlever!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zebedee71 Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 I have NO doubt you will be able to purchase a new fore end with an adapter fitted to it somewhat like the Sharp innova adapters of old Hope you get sorted Zeb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zebedee71 Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 Have a word with Blackpool air rifles they have one in for the HW 77 so i asume they will produce one for the HW57 after all it's just a thinned down version really.

dunganick Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 okay slightly off the topic, but i cant personally see a point, i have two hw77's and they are v noisey because of the spring noise, surely a silencer can only do a little bit to stop this noise, or do they actually make a difference?

zebedee71 Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 They make a difference DOWN RANGE only. Trouble is usually by the time the pellet hits your quarry there is an enormous crack anyway which tends to scare any close prey off!!!!

Mine never suffered from adverse spring noise. Have you considered having them tuned ? FM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNAKEBITE Posted February 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 What exactly does the tuning process involve? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunganick Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 no mine is no noiser than the next, my point is i cant see how having a silencer will make any difference to the noise a moving part is going to make, they will never be quieter than a well silenced rimfire or p/c air rifle. but they are what they are and do their job well ...i cant complain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNAKEBITE Posted February 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2005 When I was out this morning I listened to the sound and it was definatley the sound of the spring that was louder than the muzzle crack. It wasn't THAT loud but obviously it spoils the moment so to speak! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJaxeman Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 I would like to thank Fisherman Mike for the link to chambers, I rung them Monday morning regards silencer for my HW77K they had one in stock and it was with me next day. They were very helpfull, I would recomend them for all your shooting needs. Tried it out last night at my work (target practise) and I am very impressed it dosen't look out of place and makes a big difference in the overall sound level.

Still you were hitting those lids better than me :*) !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJaxeman Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 Dear SNAKEBITE :lo We all make mistakes even if it is was doing the grub screw up a little tight on the silencer, but once that was sorted so was my aim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axe Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 (edited) Anyone seen a 2 pence lately I thought snakes ate mice and rats for dinner, so what happened to the ratty targets snakey? Good grouping on the bunny targets though To plink or not to plink , that is the question. It was a barrel of fun last night guys, we'll have to do it again Edited March 4, 2005 by Axemaniac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJaxeman Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 (edited) Malcolm found the two pence piece this morning in the workshop and it was almost a dead centre shot so @ 20M I am pleased with that .
