    Mod question

    what do the members think is the best quietist mod on the market that is not silly money for air-rifle use and not over long as I will be putting it on a short gun and im wanting to keep it a compact as possible --is there any members making anything? --thanks in advance --

    Had/have...

    ...AWTs on my Rapids and wouldn't have anything else. That said I really don't think you can beat a HW.
    Pardon?

    I suppose it depends on the rifle you want to put it on,,, (you haven't said)

    I have a back venting Huub shroud on my BSA Scorpion and its so quiet you can only hear the pellet impact, (it adds about 3-4 inches or less than 100mm for you young folks)
    but that wouldn't work on a spring gun.. so shroud aside probably the HW mod seems to be the one most folks crow about

    Bang...

    ...for your buck (sic) the HW is hard to beat but in my preferred format does need a threaded barrel and does add length.
    Pardon?

    Thats a smart wee gun, I can see why you'd definitely want to keep it small as possible.
    Id say a back venting shroud is out due to the barrel band, so you're defo looking at a screw on like the HW.
    Ive read some good comments on the swift stumpy too, and I don't think its anywhere near as long as the HW's 6 inches.

    Have a look at the Swift Modular - you can add or remove as many sections as needed until you get the balance that you like between length and sound.

    All of the above.

    Another vote for the Swift.

    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.

    Ive got a kral silencer came with my np02. Its basically a hw copy. Very effective and still not too long for hide/barn use. I tried my huggett bellita on the np02 but it was noticably louder and the shorter length didnt really float my boat as much as i thought it would. Hope that helps bud

    Initially I put a Belita on mine , looked good but not that quiet.
    I now use either one made by Frog or a HW one , nothing in it .
    Value for money. Frog wins every time .
