I didn't realise that there was so much to learn! Thanks Matt that was interesting, and well presented, 👍 (if you do a follow up can you mention threads, are they all same ? Or do you need an adapter? ) cheers 😊
A friend and myself made our own silencers back in the late 70's/early 80's. Brass plumbing fittings and waste pipe, along with cardboard cut out circles and rings of sponge, they worked brilliantly and did the job until we could afford to buy a couple of the first Galway silencers for our HW80's.
I've got a load of silencers, had even more over the years (i think it's an addiction) I mainly shoot HFT and SFT, really rate the old style huma mod (30mm od) and even the hugget astile performs really good but currently use a FOX 300 silencer, find it to be a great size, weight and silencing combo that's super accurate. Over the years I've found, as have you, you can 'tune' your accuracy with silencers.
I was just looking at silencers as well, good timing! Matt are you allowed to you say what modifications you made to your Swift silencer or is that kinda 'secret source recipe'? Ive got a Steyr which is probably the loudest rifle out there and sounds like a cannon going off 😅
Hi Matt, I noticed your moderators appeared to be mostly .22 rather than .177. Have you found that .22 moderators are better for accuracy on a .177 rifle?
Matt, Ive heard one very respected name in airgun world say that its worth going up a size in silencer (he didnt clarify why though). ie if you shoot 177 then use a 22 silencer. Do you always use same cal silencer as your rifle? Could you share your thoughts on this subject
As long as the alignment is correct there should be no issue using an adaptor. Miss alignment could be the adaptor itself, the bore of the barrel, issue with the silencer itself or a mixture of all three.
Take a look at vector air, and Andys airgun reviews. He did a good review of the pretensis a while back and the need of a silencer/moderator, (I was thinking of getting one myself but I couldn't find a seller in France) bol
For. Minute I got worried then I realised it was your flask I was looking at lol😂

you as a person are my inspection thank you
Wow. Phenomenal accuracy and precision on all the cards. What distance? Indoors or outdoors?
About 25 yards half indoor/outdoor. Very sheltered.

That’s my edge buddy. Sorry.

Most are only supplied in .177/.22 generic size. And come with .22 on them.
@@airabilityuk Thankyou, learning more each day
Do adapters make accuracy less than silencer directly attached to barrels or shroud

Interesting ... looking for one for my pretensis , the air stripper supplied is about as useful as tits on a fish.
