19powell90 89 Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Hey all i have been doing alot of research of how to modify the Air Arms silencer and i cannot find a full guide on how to so i thought i woukd do one! so here we go. First of all remove the silencer from your rifle and preferably take out the grub screw AND REMEMBER WHERE YOU PUT IT!! then you want to unscrew the conical end of the silencer - this can be quite difficult just depends on how lucky you are, basically these end is loctited on, first i would try and take a good firm grip on it and screw it off. if that fails then you will have to heat up the conical ( where it meets the cyclindrical part of the silencer ) with either a hair dryer or blow torch ( please be careful ) then once it is heated up it should unscrew. - u might have to use a vice, pliers etc. but should get there eventually! here is the silencer partly unscrewed: Quote Link to post
19powell90 89 Posted February 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Once unscrewed you will be able to see the internals. just pull these out, they will come out realitively easy. if you struggle to get the spring out right at end, i used a pencil from the flat end and pushed the spring and surroundings out. 2 Quote Link to post
19powell90 89 Posted February 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Now heres the internals of the silencer basically its just two springs covered in scotch brite and seperated by a metal washer. 1 Quote Link to post
19powell90 89 Posted February 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 (edited) Right so now its time to change these parts. first off you need to take your metal washer down to a hardware store and find 2 that are the same external diameter size but have a smaller hole in the center preferably 8mm ( this is what is used in the HW silencer ). i have not got the metal washers yet but i will show you with nylon washers for illustration purposes. the center of the nylon washes arent 8mm either Edited February 2, 2011 by 19powell90 1 Quote Link to post
19powell90 89 Posted February 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 (edited) Then we need to go down to the pound shop and buy some haircurlers approximately the same size diameter as the springs. also while you are there you need to grab some insulating material. i used microfibre cleaning pads that are 16x22cm and just cut them down. then you need to lay out your silencer and materials cut the bits to size. the insulating material needs to be quite thick so it keeps the curlers central in the silencer the whole design is based on the HW silencer and will improve the silencer.
