I will be investing in a silencer very soon.

I put a Zero db moderator on mine and it quiets my 22 caliber Brocock Hi-lite nicely. I got it as well from the used section at Airguns of Arizona. It's also non regulated and shoots like a laser. I am going to sell some of my other guns since i got this bad boy as it shoots so accurately! Enjoy your purchase as well!

Congratulations on a really great deal. I bought the .25 that was listed with it. It won’t be here till Monday. I have read the factory shroud actually works on these. Have you shot it yet to see if it needs an additional moderator?

 

[FL22]

@FL22 I was thinking maybe you put a magnum barrel on it or something. Either that or I’m just not seeing so great. Have you shot it yet?

@Ezana4CE I was able to shoot it last night, but limited to functionality only (peace of mind that it survived the shipping process).

But having done that, I firmly believe that the 5 shot one hole test group provided by AoA is an accurate representation of its prowess.

 

[FL22]

Yeah it does look longer in the one pic! Lol. I can't believe they’re still selling them unregulated!? Do you by chance know how old it is @FL22 ?

No, the sales staff told me that it basically had a few birthdays on the shelf, but no indication of its actual age however, here is a picture of the bottle and it is due for its first inspection in July.

 

[FL22]

If I ever get a .177 pcp this is the one I'd want. But regulated

I plan on getting .177 pcp as well, thinking about a Slash since the Mordax isn’t available in that caliber.

I need to get something to help it exercise vocal discretion .

Can we look forward to seeing some things here on the classified section?

I'll bet the gun is a 2021 then If bottle build date is 2020?...bad year...lol. All the best with it! How long is it end to end without mod?

@FL22 If you can get some shot string data please post it. I’m curious about the number of shots on the rifle’s tune plateau/fill pressure with mid-weight pellets, 18 grains - 24 grains. I’m not sure if “plateau” is the correct term for an unregulated airgun’s optimal velocity/sweet spot with a given tune. Maybe “curve” is. If someone could clarify that I’d appreciate it.

Thank you and likewise . I somewhat regret not buying both and selling my Airacuda.

Yes I have, In my opinion it absolutely needs additional sound suppression.

Probably because of where I was shooting it from, (covered rear porch) but my wife thought I was shooting one of my PBs.

Thanks Bud. 39” I believe.

@Ezana4CE I would really like to do that. Unfortunately my Chinese crono is DOA. Looking into NateCrony.

 

[Ezana4CE]

@FL22 Understood.

 

[FL22]

Pellet testing also tried Daystate Howlers
25y
10 shots each.
62°
Winds 5 to 7
Bench bagged

Monster lights - 1.15 MOA

JSB 18.13 - 1.83 MOA

JTS 18.1 - 2.67 MOA

JSB 15.89 - 2.94 MOA

Howler slug 20.3 - 2.97 MOA

JSB 14.35 - 3.09 MOA



I guess it’s a good thing that I have plenty of M-lights stocked up.

@FL22 Most of that first target equals a dead squirrel. You plan on hunting with it? Squirrels? iguanas? What?

@Danman it’s 34.5”

@Ezana4CE , I hunt squirrel occasionally and pest them as needed. I have had extensive property damage from them in the past i.e. vehicles and home.



I have no experience hunting iguana but I have eaten one many years ago.

 

[FL22]

@Dogowski what model 0 db did you decide to use?

I can’t decide which one would be most appropriate, compact or 160… I also wonder if the BRK would work, it’s the happy medium “price wise”.

It is the compact version i use on mine and it seems to do the job just fine.

@FL22 I thought maybe the “FL” in your handle is for Florida hence the iguana reference.

@Ezana4CE you are correct, I am a Florida native 5th generation. However iguanas do not care for the upper mid to northern parts thus far.
