:) Is there anyone who can either :)

Fit a de-twanger to a Falcon FN12 for me, ideally within 40ish miles of Winchester......

OR....

Let me have totally FOOLPROOF instructions of how to fit one...

:eek:various comments lead me to believe it is not a job for the faint hearted :eek:

Its not hard at all mate if you have the right tools, the hardest part is the valve section you will need to make some clamps for this or you will mark your gun.

Do a search Leons. It has been covered, but I think it was a long time ago.

Try this one for a start.

Robin..Many thanks.:)

I must confess I did not search that far back :eek:

Seem to be mixed opinions, perhaps I should try other silencers before commiting the Falcon to my "stilsons surgery"

A moderator will only quieten the muzzle blast. It will not reduce the resonance from the air cylinder.

It is not to big a job to fit the de-twanger from the muzzle end.
THE CYLINDER MUST NOT HOLD ANY PRESSURE OF AIR. I.E. IT MUST BE EMPTIED FIRST.

In most cases, the 8 shaped bracket, that supports the barrel, can be used as a wrench to remove the filling valve, and cylinder end. Simply by re tightening it onto the valve, without the barrel in it.

Then push the De-Twanger down the cylinder using a wooden dowel. But be careful not to damage the 'O' ring on the cylinder internal threads.

Then reassemble.
