maty j 6 Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 Just sat at home the other day wondering one of those strange questions. Would a rimmy silencer work better on an FAC rated airgun than an standared airgun silencer? The SAK silencer has a 1/2" unf thred I think so could be used on alot of airguns yet It Isn't as far as I'm aware. Same with a few of air rifle silencers so I was just wondering why you never seem to see a rimmy silencer on an air rifle and vice versa?? Quote Link to post
maty j 6 Posted February 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 Just looked on Euroguns and It says you need to have space on your FAC for a silencer. Any reason why you need a FAC for a silencer ? Quote Link to post
Guest hyperion Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 i had a rimfire silencer on my pheonix when i bought it and it was rubbish! could only put it down to the the silencer having to deal with a lot more gas (air in this case) from the air rifle than it would from a rimfire! the rimfire silencer is now on my mates rimfire and does a grand job of shutting it up, and ive got a silencer from the unpronounceable german compay and it great! cheers hyperion Quote Link to post
milo2005 0 Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 rimmy mods have fire proof wading,but most airgun ones dont,and you need your mod to be on your ticket Quote Link to post
chimp 299 Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 (edited) maty i had a sak silencer on my old stealth , only comes into it's own once you start pushing the numbers ie: close to a 22 rimmy Edited February 9, 2009 by chimp Quote Link to post
maty j 6 Posted February 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 Weihrauch Hyp? I've just bought one and havn't tested It out proper yet, The guns on the blink.....Again I've heard there quite good so looking forward to trying It proper. I thought they would be quite good Chimp but obviosly not. I was out for a night using a mates rimmy and that was near silent with what looked like the SAK mod so that's part of the reason behind the question. On these big bore airguns on youtube you never usually see a mod on the end of the barrel either. Strange I thought as they make a fair crack! Cheers for the replies, Will stop me wondering now Quote Link to post
Guest hyperion Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 yeah! tried all the silencers in my local gun shop and the german was the best by miles! the rimfire silencer i had on my air rifle had just one set of fixed baffles made of abs plastic! cheers hyperion Quote Link to post

There's red plasticy shit inside at both ends and some washers In the middle Hello mate, You wont believe it but the inside of the weihrach silencer is just two long hair curlers and a smaller one in the middle and spaced by two washers and rapped with three pieces of felt material. and a few other makes use this same techniek, try the Parker Hale FAC rated silencer works a treat on my FAC rated rifles, ATB, Rob.
