Benjamin EB22 Moderator Adaptor

[Troubledshooter]

A friend has an EB22 and needs to be able to fit a silencer for Garden Plinking. I used to have an EB20 and UK Neil made a brass adaptor for it that worked fine. I sold the adaptor to my friend who tells me the .20 adaptor will not fit the .22 barrel.
Before I try and make the .20 adaptor fit by using my Dremel on it, does anyone know of an alternative source for an EB22 moderator adaptor ?

Hmmmm, I could be wrong, but I have an EB17, EB20, and EB22, all are fitted with the SAME adaptor supplied by UK Neil.

Thought it was only the internal barrel size that was different, I can check for you tommoz if you want though.
(On the beer tonight!)

Cheers.

afaik it was only the early .177 bengy barrels that were a smaller od

[Troubledshooter]

Thanks Roy and ped, I too thought all barrels were the same OD, but will be interested in some accurate measurements.

only tried a 20 and a 22 as my 177 is elsewhere but both barrels were .350"

[Troubledshooter]

Thanks for that, those are the two calibres in question. I have a feeling I may know what's happened, or hasn't, as the case may be with the new owner of the adaptor.

Thanks Roy and ped, I too thought all barrels were the same OD, but will be interested in some accurate measurements.

Here we go......

.177 version........8.80mm
.20 version........8.82mm
.22 version........8.82mm

HTH.

(variation probably down to paint thickness)

i have the brass silencer adapter made by uk neil.it works fine on my e9a 20 cal .
but i had a e9a 22, and when used with the 22 cal it was inaccurate as the pellets were clipping the silencer.
