To be honest Shadow, fitting a silencer will not make that much difference to a spring rifle like yours. I only have one fitted to my HW80 as it's an FAC tuned rifle and makes a hell of a crack at the muzzle without it. I don't use one for my HW77 and TX200 rifles and I haven't lost game for it. You will not mute the sound of the spring action working and the pellet makes a pretty audible thwack from a rabbit's head anyway. I'd say you should be out target shooting with it, as it is and seeing what you really think. Accuracy, stealth and fieldcraft is far, far more important to your intended shooting with it, than anything else right now.

 

You can easily remove light surface rust with a swab of wire wool and a splodge of gun oil and wipe it away to bring back the blueing. Or you can use tin foil rolled into a ball and a drop of gun oil. Don't be heavy handed. Just rub it gently and you should see the rust being removed.

 

Maintain the finish with a wipe of an oily rag as described before.

 

All the best with it.
