Hey there Hector.
For whatever weird reason, it will not allow me to direct message you.
It seems to think my message looks too spammy ?? (reply below)

No apology for any absence necessary. I'm glad you got some shooting time in.

I’m blown away by your offer of lending me the Skyhawk to try out.
I’ll be honest with you though—I’m super cautious about lending/borrowing to and from with other people.

If I had any experience with a pcp airgun to know what the heck I was doing, I might take you up on that offer. But as it is, I have never held, shot, or tried to fill one with air.

I wouldn’t want to mishandle or damage it in any way out of ignorance (and certainly not on purpose).
Not knowing the mechanics of a pcp air rifle, I would be too paranoid to borrow someone else’s gun.

I am also realizing that I would either have to do an awful lot of manual pumping or buy an expensive compressor if going the airgun route.

I had almost talked myself into going the route of a 10/22 with a 16.4” barrel, a sparrow 22 silencer, and CCI quiet semi-auto ammo with a sig sauer Romeo 5 red dot.

I know that you know air guns through and through, but are you also knowledgeable about 22LRs?

If so, does the aforementioned sound like a good setup, or would you recommend differently?

Thank you again for the generous offer, though. I really appreciate it.

Make sure firearms are legal to pest with in your neighborhood. In mine, you can't discharge ANY firearms. Also double check hunting regs for seasons etc.

Hey there Jim. I’m in North Central Bama. Thank you for the suggestions. I’ll do some research on those. This may be a newb question, but will most suppressors fit either a pcp or firearm (assuming they are the same caliber)? Also, what are these reputable suppressors that you mention in the $40-50 range? One of the cheaper ones I’m seeing is $296+ (the Sparrow .22). Thanks!

Hi Guitarbanae! No, the air rifle suppressors can't swap with the powder burners. Most all your rimfires gonna be 1x28 thread anyway, even if they could be interchange, and most common pcp thread for 22s,25s and 177 are 1x20. Even if they were not illegal to swap, and did share a common thread, it would be an explosive situation. Way too much pressure outta the powder burners. The 40 to 50 dollar really good airgun moderators I use are the ones made by Angel from Redcorn air and Buck Rail. They both do a phenomenal job of accuracy and quietness. DonnyFL makes the 100.00 and up aluminum air rifle suppressors, they are my choice for .30 caliber pcp's. They also offer them in 177, 22 and 25, along with the big bore pcp calibers.
