    .25 Silencer

    What silencer do you use for your .25 sub 12 airguns?

    i have just got a .25 ultra, i have a spare hw silencer but don't know if it will clip the end when firing.

    so before i try i just wanted to see what the alternatives are?

    cheers
    I wanna be the airgunbbs Model

    I use an A&M Twink. Measure the exit hole on your mod, you want 8.5mm or greater.
    You can spend thousands and still miss a barn door or spend just enough and enjoy yourself. If you haven't got the talent to start with a million pound won't fix it. Whippet, Russell, a few bang sticks and a flat cap. http://www.smart-tech1st.co.uk

    Standard HW silencers are up to .22, they do do a .25 specific silencer.
    Failing that huggett, I believe you only need to change the end cap to use these for .25.

    Or Daystate FAC Airstream is .25 specific

    I use HW with standard baffles enlarged to 7.3mm. If you shoot over 30 fpe you should strengthen the internals, those curlers will eventually become accordions.

    Aye, the BSA VC comes with two interchangeable chokes for .177 and .22, fitting no choke is for .25 cal.

    Don't know if it's quite as quiet as the HW moddy, but mine was pretty good.

    We all hear sound a bit different, but when airgun shooter mag did a test with a Decibel Meter the BSA was quieter than the HW

    I used a standard .22 HW mod on my .25 FAC Rapid for several years.
    The HW washers have 7.5mm bore, .25 is 6.35mm so more than 0.55mm clearance all round

    I'd also measure the baffle washers

    Have one on my .25 CP1 pistol. It certainly does the job

    I normally go with +1.5 mm over the cal for the bore of the mod/ baffles for a balance of safety and efficiency
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    The tighter the clearance the quieter the mod will be .
