    Silencer difference

    I have a silencer on my Ultra, it looks like a Weihrauch mod, but then again the Swift also looks the same. Anyone know how to tell the difference visually ?

    This is in no way certain mate but... Swifts that I have seen are ‘flat’ at the ‘shooty end’ whereas Weihrauch’s that I own are kind of ‘pointy’ if you know what I mean. I’m sure someone will pop along here with a more sensible answer

    No mate, some Swifts are rounded like HW mods. They look (to me) identical.

    Therefore, refer to Murphy’s suggestion above

    The silencer on my hw110 is curved on the end (convexed) and I'm pretty sure that my previous 100 was the same.

    So it seems visually, (model dependent) without measuring, they look the same.

    There's a vid on youtube about fake swift mods & comparing the genuine one to my HW the taper on the Swift looks a lot longer at a gentler angle than my HW,
    also on my HW both end caps have a glossier finish than the tube itself, where on the swift they appear to be the same finish.
