Swift Stumpy, is it the best ?

[villaman]

For what gun ?

If you're looking at a half inch female thread Dave, try a SAK at half the price, great VFM moddy.

A-Tec Wave is another.

Swift Stumpy - if you must have a shorter mod then it will dull the crack to a blast. But they are not the ideal hunting mod. The internals are quite solid and un-absorbing and the holes through the baffles is rather too large. They are made quite well but just not the quietest, so the point i would not use one for hunting, though to make a rifle more 'sociable' they just about tick a box.

Never heard of them, any info ?

Why not get someone to make a shroud /silencer
I had one made for my ultra by Carl at airtech , so quiet probably on par with HW mod if not a bit quieter

That's a possible solution. I'm at my RFD on Saturday, I will take my S510 and try a few off the shelf short mods first, but a good idea though Roughly, how much are we talking for a shroud/mod ? Ball Park figure ?

If you are going to use a SAK on an air rifle, dismantle it and put cotton wool balls in the holes in the baffles. Stops it resonating.

If you have several mods and several rifles...the degree of moderation it produces will change as you swap from rifle to rifles. So if on one rifle the HW is quieter than say one from air arms....the ranking may switch when both are tried on another rifle.
You will be chasing your tail.
In reallity the degree of moderation is a little bit of a red herring if its being used for hunting as the pellet smack is far louder than the noise emmitted from the mod.
I wouldnt get too hung up on it.
However....its worth trying and finding something that does the job. You need to decide if a compact is what you want or increased moderation.

I've had one on my .22LR rimfire for years including another on a 17HMR and they do the job. I could buy other more expensive cans and possibly more efficient but the SAK performs for me.
They are approximently 120mm long and about 40mm dia.
If you're not sorted by the time of the next Bash in April, I'll bring mine down for you to try !

Eh ?? They are the same price. The Stumpy in my view is the best short mod out there , I have a few and use them on springers and PCP,s
