See from 3 mins 45 sec into the video below, this fellow had similar problems of poor accuracy and spiralling pellets with a silencer fitted on the 2250XL.

had this issue with many slip on type silencers and adapters. only option for me is a threaded barrel now. or in the case of my 2250 not using a silencer

Is this problem with the standard ratcatcher 2250xl adaptor still ongoing or have later models been rectified?
Ive just bought one and would like to know which silencer to buy
I have the same problem with mine. Without the silencer its very accurate, fit itand i have two types and its all over the place.
Just replaced the stock silencer adaptor on mine for a cheap one from jsr. Cured the problem, had to re zero though. Not sure why can only assume the stock one is out of true.
Hi all, I recently purchased a second hand ratty AS2250 which I think is the King ratcatcher, it came with a male fitting silencer with a largish push on adapter with the female thread, this looked a bit cumbersome on the small ratty so bought a push on adapter from JSR with male 1/2 thread and fitted my faithful weihrauch silencer.
This gun was bought solely for close range (6-30ft) ratting in the stables at my permission and so far has worked well, but, when I set zero (scope BSA 1-4x24) at 30ft it'll do pellet on pellet no problem but when I check poi at around 10ft the pellet hits approximately 1/2 to the right in the vertical and at 20yds approximately 6" low and 2" to the left of vertical , I've no previous experience with a ratty but this performance is pretty alien compared to my PCP's!
I've not chrono'd the gun as yet and this could explain the reason for the amount of drop at 20yds but the lack of accuracy in the vertical is strange.
I have read there seems to be issues with ratty's fitted with silencers and haven't checked zero without a silencer fitted so chrono and zero check without silencer fitted is my next move.
So, you guys with ratty experience what are your thoughts please.
Because the hw is quite a long silencer it needs to be perfectly central, you might get away with a shorter one better, but what I'd do is open the bolt make sure the gun is unloaded, first then shine a torch into the bolt hole while looking down the barrel with the silencer in place. This will show you if its out of alignment. Sometimes you can align adapters by rotating them till the silencer is properly central the repeat this with locktight on while the gun is clamped vertical till the locktight cures.
