Phantom 631 Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 Not the AA one, the bevel seems to be too steep and the internals are not the same as the AA. Is that all the internals? No spacers or springs? Phantom Quote Link to post

Phantom thanks for that info phantom the internals are from end cap 3 felt rings (as in pic) then a plastic washer (as in pic) 3 felt rings (as in pic) then a plastic washer (as in pic) and so on. ok so we have ruled out air arms any other makes we can rule out?

Phantom 631 Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 Can certainly rule out the newer Weirauch ones as there is no Hair Curlers or ScotchBright scouring pad in it. Not sure how the older Weirauch Silencers were constructed Phantom Quote Link to post

Phantom 631 Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 We can now pretty much rule out the earlier HW's Been Trawling the net and the closest one I can come up with is a Swift. However the swift silencer is shorter and has Steel Baffles rather than plastic, however they could have been changed by a previous owner. Thats the only silencer I can find with felt spacers. Sorry I cant be much more help with your question. All the best Phantom Quote Link to post
RaiderBoy 19 Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 the end cap is a different shape to the one one my swift silencer and the only suggestions i got is the webley bbmf long that has been modified b the previous owner Richard Quote Link to post
jackinbox99 41 Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 As others have said its def not the hw100 silencer, and def not an AA one. Ive also got a theoben silencer and that too looks nothing like this one. So, still no further forward on identifying it, but we know 3 it definately isnt! Quote Link to post
samuri 4 Posted March 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 thanks all for the info PHANTOM your not looking hard enough try again!!! cheers Quote Link to post
Phantom 631 Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 the end cap is a different shape to the one one my swift silencer and the only suggestions i got is the webley bbmf long that has been modified b the previous owner Richard Hey Richard, it does look very much like the BBMF Long. But the BBMF has metal cylindrical spacers witht he felts inside them. I was thinking of this subject last night and I seem to remember back in the 's (when my love of airgunning really kicked into gear) that there was a page in either Military Mart or Gun Mart (or sonething along those lines) with an advert showing a silencer with felts similar to the ones in the OP's pic. Perhaps an early Parker Hale job Phantom Quote Link to post
