Weihrauch Silencers

[angrybear]

You are very lucky not to get clipping with such a small clearance!

I used a standard .177/.22 Weihrauch mod on my .25 Rapid FAC for several years without clipping.

Both the hw mods I have are fitted with 'Hilda Ogden' internals.

Thanks Graham for the mention.... From an independent test in .177 modified baffles give a 6db reduction... I haven't gotten round to testing the .22. But when I get my arse in gear I have a new baffle design I'm going to test and hopefully will be even better.

"Gotten" is normal english, especially in the SW of the country (eg Wiltshire). A little archaic, it was used frequently by Shakespeare and is retained more by our US cousins, but nevertheless, it's cool.

I'm born and raised in Dorset, only moved up to Swindon for work. There is nothing wrong with gotten....lol.... Its been a while since I have been picked up on my local dialogue.... The last time was when I asked somebody "Where's that to then?"

I built a carbon fibre silencer for my Rapid earlier this year with 4 delrin baffles giving a 5 chamber design. The bore in the baffles is 6.2 mm and the calibre of the rifle is .20.
As long as your barrel is cut straight and the adaptor is square you shouldn't get any clipping.

I have been told by Hull Cartridge that the silencer is the same for both .177 and .22; only the .25 is different.
This is what is inside mine;
Tube is 22mm bore, 180 mm long overall
Starting from the threaded end, half inch UNF
metal tube 61.5mm long, 15mm bore with 8 slots 7mm wide, 26mm long, in pairs at 90 degrees
plain metal washer 22mm diameter 10mm bore
metal tube 33mm long, 15mm bore with 4 slots as above
plain metal washer as before
metal tube 61.5mm long as before
end cap with 10mm hole
Each tube is wrapped with black felt, no sign of the famous hair curlers!!!!

I examined a Weihrauch silencer of a fellow club member; I was unable to dismantle it but the holes seemed much smaller.
What is inside yours?

7 mm bore for .177 and the .22 and about 10mm for the .25 caliber.

I couldn't believe how quiet the hair curler version is especially in ·22.

The other day I was re-setting a 'scope on a friends HW100 and was really surprised at how effectively the HW silencer worked. It was at least twice as efficient as the BSA VC's on my rifles. Slimmer design as well. Seriously considering buying one for my Scorpion RS now.
