Silencer for HW98 ??

[Sweeney-Todd 208]

Hi all.

 

Shooting a HW98....and very pleased with it.

Although it is a bit on the noisey side.

 

Doe's anyone know of a Silencer that can be fitted please?

 

 

Thank's.

I think the bull barrel has a silencer incorperated. It probably sounds loud to you because you are firing the gun. Try getting someone else to fire the gun (obviously in a safe direction) while you are standing 25 yards away and it probably wont sound very loud at all. My HW 57 sounds fairly loud when you are firing it and yet you can't usually hear it from 50 yards away.

I’ve always liked the look of the HW98 but have heard a few reports that the shroud is crap and just makes the gun front heavy. Where as the shrouds on Theobens and Airarms work a treat.

I’ve seen a post on BBS( ) when a bloke removed the shroud re-blued and threaded the barrel and added a moderator to it. Apparently it was a lot lighter and quieter. But that seems like a lot of work and as far as I know there isn’t a slip on silencer to fit the bull barrel. atb John

Hi Edgar and John.

 

Thank you both for your replies

After some searching I have decided that it isnt such a good idea after all.

She is what she is......just me being picky

I did think about removing the shroud but as you rightly say......too much hassle.

 

Cheers me dears.
