pcp noise

[jenksi87 3]

as you may know i have recently bought an fn19. although at first i didnt really see any problems with it, after getting out with it a few times i have noticed that it is quite loud. it has a falcon silencer on it, but to be honest i was expecting it to be much quiter, to perhaps get a couple of shots off at a group of rabbits before they realise what it is.

is it just me not knowing what one should sound like?

it is my first pcp and i had never shot with one previously.

to me it is only marginally quiter than shooting a springer, almost has the same twang to it, but more muffled.

any help would be great

thanks

you make them out of a 12 guage plaswad and an o ring and drill a 1/8th hole in it empty your air and remove the filler end on the cylinder and place the detwanger into the cylinder realigne the barrel and re connect the filler valve job done easy to do ill find the post that we did on my fn 19 later on and post it on here atb mal

This is a great method, I have machined nylon stock bar & used shell wad both had the same desired effect.

i have been trying to fathom this out but i'm just not that clued up when it gets to anything like this. i can aim and shoot and thats about my limit. is there anybody around doncaster/rotherham/barnsley area that could make me one up and fit it me? i will of course get them a drink for doing so. or perhaps someone that is going to the thl august 09 meet that would be kind enough to help me out????

If someone could send you a 12 gauge wad and you get the O rings, I'll bring some tools to the meet and fit it for you.

thanks for that. i will pay postage costs if anybody could send them for me? would be doing me a MASSIVE favour.

when i rang the gunsmiths about having one fitted they both said they had never heard of them???
