Skot Ruthless Teale 1,701 Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 a silencer might help a little, but mostly its the noise of the spring and piston inside the gun, that you cant really do much about. springers will always be loud lol. especially compared to a pcp! if you must, you can get an adaptor thing to go on the end of your 97 but you have to unscrew it or summat, i was going to get one for mine, but decided its too much cost, and effort for basically nothing lol thats just my oppinion though. also my hw97kt is quite louder than my 95k (with hw silencer) so it might make more of a differnce than I think. still, good luck if you decide to go for it.

SKoT Hi SKot Thanks for the advice, I will keep it in mind. I have an SMK springer so am familiar with the spring and piston sound this just seems even louder. A loan of a silencer someone local would solve it. Cheers Anthony Quote Link to post
porkybella 284 Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 Have it tuned helps with the noise a little Quote Link to post
Bossmugler 14 Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 There is a video on youtube, were some guy used a green pan scourer wrapped around a hair curler in his 97K . It seemed to deaden the report a bit.. But has already been said a lot of the noise comes from the action itself Quote Link to post
