inside the Vortex?

[L-S-R]

i was cleaning my barrel and decided to look at the internals of the vortex on my fac rapid. i took the plastic (what can be described as) baffel arrangement out and screwed the vortex cap back on the gun. i fired the gun and to my amazement there was very little to no difference in noise reduction, even downrange! <img src="http://jsramsbottom.co.uk/bbs/e/icon_confused.gif" alt="Confused" width="15" height="22"><!--graemlin::confused:-->
My question is can anyone recommend a decend sound moderator for the fac rapid that actually works as the vortex simply is not effective?
P.S. im running at 30ft/lb.

I found the same thing! Now got the Logun which is much quieter and even quieter still if you loctite it on, don’t ask me why!!! but it is!!!

â™ Andyman got the internals out by unscrewing the end cap and firing it UNLOADED, on to a soft cloth, worked for me

Another vote for the logun.

Loctite will seal it on the bore, so air won't come back towards the shooter - doubt it would make any difference downrange though <img src="http://jsramsbottom.co.uk/bbs/e/icon_wink.gif" alt="Wink" width="15" height="15"><!--graemlin:;)-->

ripley or abs could also work. don't loose the o-ring on the muzzle end of the plastic insert for the evo.
