Hi David,

In your rifle's current guise, no it won't. It has a 1/2" UNF female thread, so the barrel would need screw cutting. Now, if you end up buying one of them there namby pamby pffft guns, most of those will have the screw cut barrels, so it'll fit.

Much of the "noise" you get with a springer is mechanical noise. Especially when shooting it and various parts of your good self are in contact with the gun. Always a good idea to let someone shoot your gun whilst you stand a few feet away and listen to get an idea how "noisy" it really is. If the twang (if present) did start to bug you, the de-twang is routine and straightforward.

But, it must be said, nicely tuned, de-twanged and silenced = very quiet.

I think I would like De-twanging Possibly silencing too

Been having some good fun in the back yard but quite aware of the noise hence the thoughts of a pfft!

Yep, someone at the shop said you could do with a good de-twanging, David!

If you decide on a de-twang at some point, they're dead easy to work on and I know you'd be well capable of doing the fettle.

If you're not doing so already, a nice quiet backstop / pellet trap works wonders.....Argos catalogue, concrete / slab enclosure filled with sand, a large cardboard box stuffed tightly with old clothes / rubber mulch will all be good.

Good advice above from Our Tone Davy. I would also add squirrel as a good backstop in the garden

Lol!!!!

Don't you find, however, that the crack of a good old head shot can be a little loud, Pauly?

More of a satisfying Thwak ! Tone Even better is the silence coming from the loft in the Winter when it's squirrel free

Absolutely, PaulyBoy.


Hey, I hear that there's some wet weather coming our way.

An opportunity for some mollusc mangling?

Yeah, the weather forecast on TV said "ferocious thunder-storms" it looked mainly to be on the South coast though so Tinners and Moley are . It will be a challenge getting a pellet in a snail before the lightening gets it. Batten down the hatches lads.
