    Good idea about filling the adapter.

    I'm not on Facebook. Is he on this forum? A kit might be an option

    I suppose the other option is threading the barrel. What kind of price do people on here charge? I'm in the Manchester area. No doubt vcr prevents sending barrels in the post

    No idea if Ian is on here . Yes you can send your barrel as its not brand new from a retailer .

    There is a few on here that may be able to thread it for you but im not sure who . UK.Neil used to do it but he retired ,Some one took over from him but i cant think who.

    I'm not sure if RichardH from on here can do them .

    RancidTom may be worth trying too.

    That's not so bad then.

    Anybody around Manchester able to thread barrels? Threading might be a good option and forgetting about the iron sights

    I've been doing some research and nobody has been able to thread it so far.

    I've seen pics of them threaded so it must be possible? I do not have lathe experience but I believe the breech block size is he problem.


    Has anyone on here successfully threaded one or have they swapped the barrel for a factory threaded option.

    Confused

    I may have found another option. Webley pro system silencer. Adjusts to the right size apparently.

    Anyone tried these?

    Looks interesting the Webley adjustable silencer. As a HW99 owner myself the problem regarding the adjustable silencer is that the 99 barrel is not spherical so it wont adjust/tighten over the sight grooves, it would probably throw the silencer out of line, you would have to file the flanges down to get a snug fit, if you do that you may as well get a better make and push on fit.
    I looked at this problem when I first got my HW99 a few years ago, the correct HW silencer is ugly and expensive, I backed out of altering my barrel from standard by filing the grooves out so I just learnt to live with it as it is,s its not all that noisy and don't think about it now.
    Someone said house work wont kill you, but I say 'why take that chance'

    Thanks

    Good point. I might accept filing off the grooves is inevitable.

    I'll have a Google for push on types in 15mm. I suppose once it's on, I won't be taking it off again
