    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.

    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

    konceptus ones are supposed to be good and can be sent directly to your door where as you cant do the same if you buy one in the uk unless you get it sent to an RFD. Or pay £15 for pellpax to deliver it .

    They do other sizes too.

    I just bought one off those adaptors of then tapped it on with a bit of wood so the grooves are still there untouched.
    Don't Think it will come off without cutting it probably but the adaptors are only about 5 pound .
    The moderator makes my .177 99 much quieter.

    I don't think there is one other than the HW push on silencer/moderator.

    You could get a set of needle files and cut grooves in the adaptor as has been stated on this thread or file the barrel.

    As far as I know it's the only ways to do it. Or tap it on like dayglowfroggy and hope it lines up right with no clipping of the pellets inside the silencer/moderator.
