    is it hollow inside of is there baffles inside?

    you could get some hair curlers and some felt pad and fit that inside if its just a hollow tube .

    This type curlers




    You could fit a few inside each other to make more of a baffle with the felt around the bigger one . Plus the odd washer that is close to the diameter of your pellet but with a few mm extra for alignment issues

    Those backdrafts are for use in Scotland to warm your hands in cold weather. Fit a Weihrauch silencer, cold, but super quiet.

    At about 9:22 in that video there is a close up of the breech of the air rifle - is it me or does the bore look off centre?

    The breech block is machined at an angle so the counter bore gives more of a chamferat the top.
