    I make a variety of moderators from slim 25mm diameter 140mm long ones to 220mm 35mm diameter reflex back vented silencers and including a swift stumpy clone that I have tried (30mm by 140mm) on my raider that is quite good. Suppression is largely about silencer volume so more compact ones are generally not as quiet as larger ones. I do not rate the Belita even given its small size.

    To reduce the impact on overall length reflex silencers can help. Again, generally, a reflex silencer will be quieter than a non-reflex standard type that extends the same distance in front of the muzzle but will not be as quiet as a silencer of the same length that is all in front of the muzzle (hope that makes sense!).

    Making something as effective as an HW is not too difficult.

    Hope you don't mind in me asking but do you also make them to sell, I don't use a mod on my air ranger at moment only because I've not really used it as my main gun, I ain't really used it much at all but lately I've started to use it and thinking of getting a reflex mod for it to keep the length down a bit.

    Reflex mods and air rifles seems to be a rare combination
    In a battle of wits I refuse to engage with an unarmed person.
    To one shot one kill, you need to seek the S. Kill only comes from Skill

    True - the Daystate Airstream is the only one I know of. The ones I have made have worked well - back vented ones in particular give good down range suppression but do sound a bit louder than some people expect behind the muzzle -> air+energy = noise directed back towards the shooter.
    It is a kind of hobby experimenting with what can be done.

    The Huggett Belita does a fair job and looks good.

    The Shooting Party do one called a Shorty but I havent seen/heard it in use.

    Well the gun and mod eventually delivered to the RFD had a little play over the weekend and how great the mods are on this little gun and how great the gun points and shoots well happy up till now if anyone is thinking about getting one go for it --you might think they are a little heavy? but the point and balance of these is great they adjustable butt pad makes it great for getting your head right with your scope I read that some were worried about the reach but this is not a issue that I have noticed and the swift stumpy makes it very quite I went for a .22 calibre and it seems to shoot FTT pellets and Crossman premier pellets with no issues I was getting pellet on pellet at 30 yrds with ease one thing is to make sure you give the barrel a good clean before use as there is a lot of oil in there from manufacturing the walnut stock looks great but after a couple of coats of Philips walnut prep oil looks even better Thanks to all the members who helped ATB
