secretagentmole 1,701 Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 (edited) I have been eating too much spinach, shifting too much coal, I must have been doing something as the silencer on my Fenman reduced itself to 2 parts, a hollow tube in the hand and an adaptor on the stock. I could not get it to line up so it has been reduced to scrap! The grub screw was removed but the adaptor remained resolute in it's desire to remain adhered to the barrel. So a quick trip to the gunsmith and a couple of quid saw a gas torch applied gently and the adaptor removed! Literally £2!Being a tightwad I went over to Tawn's to see if his adaptor would work and it fitted OK, just had about 3mm of grubscrew sticking out either side and one cock of the gun saw one urinating away at high velocity into the gravel never to be seen again. Looked online for an Evo silencer and they were about £ new inc P&P, cursed again. Then I placed a wanted ad on another forum, whereupon a member called Rapidnick told me that he had an Evo silencer he would send me for £33. At which point my finances went belly up and I could not afford it. Never mind, he replied, pay us when you can and with that lobbed it in the post to me! Well the other half sorted out his payment (we did it as friends and family so he got no fees slapped on) and this morning a nice shiny Evo silencer turned up. Now this gun looks like it should! Below the gun are the 2 part silencer originally on (and not a Theoben if I am any judge), an old Rapid or Sirocco silencer I had that vibrated loose after about 3 shots and the one from nick is on the gun. Tasty no? Edited February 15, 2017 by secretagentmole 4 Quote Link to post

secretagentmole 1,701 Posted February 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 (edited) yha same evo mod i offered you bud on the bbs Sorry I left out the part where you offered me a silencer, but as I said I had a financial fork up and couldn't afford it, then Rapidnick contacted me and offered me a silencer and I had to explain to him that I was in a tight situation, he just posted it and said pay me when you can! So the wife paid him when things got less financially constrictive. I did not want you holding onto the silencer and refusing a sale when you could have got the cash earlier.
