    On an ultra-carbine, yes - on a standard length barrel, probably not a lot...

    More effective on a PSP certainly and to a point, effective on a spring gun but yes, the action is still pretty audible.
    Basically for hunting then yes, use one, downrange "at the quarry end" the sound is not as loud and they provide a good grip when cocking the rifle.

    There are many "technicalities" and I'm sure the Guys on here will be able to provide the details !

    Yes they do make a difference.

    Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in

    Indeed.

    Down range the difference is obvious.

    As pointed out up above, when shooting the rifle, if the internals are noisy you may not notice much difference as noise will be transmitted as vibes and resonance.

    However, with nicely tuned / damped internals, you will notice a huge difference. Three rifles which I have shot recently really highlighted this.....Kieran Turner's LGV, Clez's HW95 and Luke Jolly's 95. All tuned and with a HW mod. Absolutely lovely. And there'll be many more just like those......
