Beardo Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 sounds like either a baffle has come loose or a pellet has clipped one of the baffles. don't think they are strippable, so it means a new one most likely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy. Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Yeah, sometimes they manage to unscrew themselves a bit and a pellet clips the baffle. It happened with my £160 PES mod on my .22 LR, fortunately it clipped the end of the mod and only slightly bent the metal... A quick tap with the hammer and a covering of my face whilst pulling the trigger on the next shot and it worked fine...! If it's not strippable, it looks like a new one is on the cards...

TONYG Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 the weihrauch silencer unscrews from the top,shouldnt be hard to put right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axe Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 I've seen this on a Logun Moderator where the rifle had been dropped and the Moderator had bent ever so slightly, resulting in the pellets striking the end of the mod and causing the problem you mention. In this case it was very obvious but check for evidence of the pellets clipping the end cap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_R Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 The front cap comes unscrewed with the use of an allen key. I think you need a 7mm one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airssassin Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 You could aways pop in to your gun shop. They'll know how to fix it and might even replace it for you depending on how old it is and what is wrong with it. Certainly worth a try if it isn't too far!
