    Donnyfl info please

    I’ve heard a lot of good things about these.But they are expensive so don’t want to get the wrong one as there are a few models .Basically it has to be quieter than a standard hw one and be able to just screw on my hw100k,so any recommendations please?also looking for a stockist in Yorkshire

    I’ve got a Sumo on my DRS and it works as well as a HW on this rifle however not as quiet on my BSA Ultra or my Reximex Myth. Looks brilliant on the DRS suits the rifle perfectly.

    I have a tatsu and the fx, not too impressed to be honest when compares to a standard weihrauch, hogan and huma.

    There is a video on another forum from the Wolfman store which suggests that the DonnyFL FX is vastly superior to the other things tested…except that Wolfman store didn’t actually measure anything themselves and admit they went by the respective manufacturers numbers. So how are we to know the methods used were vaguely comparable? It seemed a rather pointless video to me.

    Anyway, enough of that. Real world I’ve tried my friends .177 DRS with a DonnyFL FX on it, whereas I have a Weihrauch XL on mine (both unfiddled 12 ft/lbs uk spec). We agreed at the time that the HW seemed quieter, but not a huge amount in it. In that scenario the Donny fits the lines of the DRS slightly better, but only marginally. Otherwise the HW (which is a fraction fatter) looks decent on the other guns I tried it on.

    I’m not bashing the DonnyFL, but I don’t think it’s the best thing since sliced bread by any means. It’s not bad though, just not amazing really. I guess ideally try as many different ones as you can on your particular gun before deciding.

    I had a Tatsu for a bit in .25, nowhere near a std HW, frankly not impressed so sold it on.

    I think a lot of their reputation is for Big bore mods where they sell extra extension sections, I agree with Ash, HW XL if you want that look.

    Keep the money in your pocket if you already have a HW.
