    Well I use the classic HW on a couple, A&M Twink on my FAC .25 (might be about to change) & a modified standard shroud on my MFR.

    Thoughts/opinions,
    there are many mods that work to a greater or lesser extent, there are a few that are useless,
    generally I don't find that rimfire mods work particularly well on sub 12, although the A-tec wave is meant for rimfire, so maybe those do.

    Phutt for your buck, the HW is probably still the benchmark.

    Daystate Mk4is - none, super accurate, so I don't want to do anything to change that
    AA S400 - AA silencer, not exactly hearing damaging with or without
    HW110 - HW silencer, hammer noise is loudest
    Daystate Pulsar - shrouded barrel (had a Hugget, but unnecessary)
    BSA Ultra - HW silencer, works well and on the cusp of being a benefit
    HW30 - none, doesn't need any

    Plus 'beauty is in the eyes of the beholder' and to my eyes they detract from the lines of the barrel

    How do the new HW XL moderators stack up against the older versions?
    Put on heading 270, assume attack formation

    AWT on my FaC air & modified HW body fitted with modified Logun QGS internals on my sub 12's. A few years ago I compared different mods on several rifles both .177 & .22 but things have much changed since then. I'm happy with what I have but verry tempted to try an A Tec Wave
    Rabbit Stew, no artificial additives except lead.

    I'm yet to see a positive comment if ever there was a case of "if it ain't broke..." HW mods are it.

    I personally having tried both think they are bl00dy awful, no where near as good as the older, CHEAPER standard one in fact the good old £45.00 SAK mod is far better IMHO !!

    I've no experience with them but this is the same opinion that I heard from the guy I was chatting with. Apparently they're also a far bit dearer than the 'MK1' HW version.
    It would seem the extra cost has gone into creating the new appearance and not improving the performance...

    Weihrauch XLK short for my 9015 and Steyr Challenge for garden practice. Steyr just needed a spacer to keep the silencer off the quick fill. Shoot them both without elsewhere because I like the shortness of both rifles.
    Steyr Challenge HFT - HW97K - BSA Mercury Challenger - Anschutz 9015 One - AA Pro Target - AA Pro Elite - ASI Paratrooper (R) - Walther LP500
