    Hammerli 800 Blackout kits stopped!

    Hi everyone,

    I've been looking for one of these packages for a while and posted on wanted for about 5 months. But no one has one for sale, so I looked at buying new as it looks a good gun 👍 however I had a response back from a gun shop advertising one saying that the gun is no longer available nor manufactured

    Not sure why this is as it looked good and loved the silencer swap over. Have they really stopped manufacturing of this gun or is it just because supply has dried up from China at the moment.

    Was there any major issues that stopped it's manufacturing? If anyone knows of one for sale in shop or 2nd hand I'm interested, but it just seems very odd that a manufacturing line is set up and it seems within a short time is stopped and moved on.

    It's the synthetic stock version I'm after rather than the Woodstock.

    Any info or leads much appreciated.

    The hammerli 800 is still going, but I had heard that Armex aren't trading and they used to put the 'backdraft' silencer on to make the blackout model. You could try getting a SMK SYNSG air rifle and fitting a silencer yourself. The rifle itself is a clone of the Diana Model 34, so a good starting base.

    Hi CapitalBee many thanks for the info, yes the SMK SYNSG does the three same in shape and detail but are the internals identical also?

    The silencer is quite important as it's switchable and covers the barrel in ratting mode. I don't know if anyone does this type of silencer other than a custom version and there usually very expensive

    I'll definitely look into the SMK SYNSG and see if I can find one that can be delivered but the silencer I think is going to be a difficult task, as I'm not looking for a HW type but one that'll act like a cowling/shroud over the barrel.

    Thanks for the input it's helped already 👍

    Not sure it was based on that model, wasn't it a variation on the SMK 208 ( Chinese Diane clone available in several stocks/styles)?

    Cant really help you, but i had a go with one a few years ago and was very impressed with the overall gun and the efficiency of the silencer. I will say the silencer is bulky tho, reminded me off the silencer I had on my mossy 500.
    I'd have one
    Super soaker 3000 (water), nerf fang (foam), noisy cricket (energy), m41a pulse rifle (10x24), Gat gun (.177)

    Thanks everyone, the info is appreciated I can't seem to find one online or 2nd hand at present, in its current state.

    I would ideally like to buy one without having to adapt and convert. But if needs must 😁 if anyone knows of a shop stocking them new or 2nd hand please let me know as I'm on the look out for sure.
