philpot 5,003 Posted November 11, 2017 Report Share Posted November 11, 2017 I had one on a .22 version but swapped it for an HW mod which was much better. Phil Quote Link to post

Phil Cheers,. Quite a lot of people prefer the hw silencer, I,ll see if they do a.25 version, I have the hw silencer on my hw100 in .177 pretty quiet Quote Link to post
bigmac 97kt 13,796 Posted November 11, 2017 Report Share Posted November 11, 2017 Twink or a marksman both deadly silent and iv had the hw mod on and the twink and marksman beats it hands down VC silencers are good as well but not in the same league as the other two . iv had them on both the ultra and the scorpion atvbmac 1 Quote Link to post
bigmac 97kt 13,796 Posted November 11, 2017 Report Share Posted November 11, 2017 The marksman is the one in the middle the twinks are fitted to the other two rifles atvbmac Quote Link to post
Jonjon79 13,358 Posted November 11, 2017 Report Share Posted November 11, 2017 I tried the VC silencer on a .177 a while back. I think it may have been an HW100. It made a chirping sound every time I fired that eventually got on my nerves. I've never tried one on a .25 though. In my opinion, you can't beat the silencers from A&M - they're not the cheapest but, my Marksman is quieter on my HW100 than a Weihrauch, BSA VC, Swift modular and Hogan Decimeter. 1 Quote Link to post
mark williams 7,557 Posted November 11, 2017 Report Share Posted November 11, 2017 If you can shoot well enough you`ll never need a silencer. Only saying 1 Quote Link to post

villaman 9,983 Posted November 12, 2017 Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 Have a word with Carl at airtech ,he will make a shroud including a silencer with in and about £70 I have marksman ,twink , JB ,BSA HW mods and shroud /silencer from carl it's very quiet .,i have that on my ultra Out of all the other mods HW is on par with the rest and cheaper Even the same make and model of gun can sound different with the same silencer on and depends where you stand ,especially with a wind blowing . If you have a wind blowing say from the left and you stand on the right then it will sound louder ,but stand on the left it will be quieter . Trouble with Marksman and twink they are big and like i said on my guns no quieter Quote Link to post
toby63 1,236 Posted November 12, 2017 Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 as villaman said contact airtech and get a shroud fitted . i have one on my ultra se and its quieter than having a mod on . 1 Quote Link to post

just-A-snap 1,269 Posted November 12, 2017 Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 Have HW on my Scorpion .25 SE. Works fine. But it all depends on what one thinks silent is as with every other Rifle Silencer, All BSA Rifles have a very good Bark on them. All the very best 1 Quote Link to post
