I have a Huma MOD40, and love how it performs, and the flexibility. The STO Falx high flow version I have was always pretty good, but not as good as the Huma. However, that STO is a different moderator on a shrouded gun it seems. It actually appears to be slightly quieter than the Huma on my Maverick The tone is definitely better to my ears. I don't know how much difference there would be with a standard flow version, but I'm pretty surprised by how well it performs on my Maverick. Just goes to show, that what works well on one gun, may work differently on another.
..... That said, I think that combining the DonnyFL airstrippers with (less) soft fill of the Huma might be the best of both worlds:
Charlie,I hope posting more detail about the Huma won't be out of place here: www.airgunnation.com/topic/huma-silencers-short-review/I would like to see this video comparison test repeated, as proof that the velocity reduction and variability conclusions were correct. That said, I think that combining the DonnyFL airstrippers with (less) soft fill of the Huma might be the best of both worlds:
This thread keeps supplying food for thought and discussion — and of course excuses for more money to spend, and more time to spend on modding. Food, money, and time — I like all of those in bountiful amounts...! 😄 Charlie, thanks for all that you've done here at GTA! 👍🏼😊 Matthias
Charlie, 😊 I might have the opportunity to travel to the US in June. 😄👍🏼 Coolio!In Peru it will be 2022 when the govmt. will get to my age group for corona vaccinations.... 🙄 People are dying left and right here. Just this morning we took two 80 pound oxygen cylinders to a lady from church, maybe 35y old — healthwise she's got already 3 strikes against her, and corona could effortlessly do the rests.... What a bummer, both for your church friend and for your government's slow vaxxing actions...although I do understand it's not only a matter of logistics but of national finances as well...funny how the U.S. can inoculate most of our people already and in my state they are even BEGGING for people to show up to be vaccinated due to oversupply! Sad...Medical attention for say 60% of the people in Peru is right between lousy and non-existent. So, yeah, I need to look into vaccination options.... Now on the lighter side: Hopefully I can stock up on ammo and a China pump on my trip, my pump has done well, but if it breaks, I'm done shooting for months/half a year until I can get a new one to Peru.... I'm toying with the idea of getting a couple of souvenirs from my US trip....▪Besides the pkg (😄)....▪A Tactacam, used, for through-the-scope filming and on-the-cellphone-screen aiming and shot-evaluation. ▪A PP750 .22cal, used. ▪A Discovery or Vector 3-12x44 Scope (Discovery: either the HD or the VT-3 model; or Vector Veyron model). Well, I had the talk with my wife the evening. And her excitement concerning all or any of these purchases was as far removed from "enthusiastic endorsal" as the West Coast if from the East Coast. "You know that we have to pay for college...." When she is right, she is. Usually.Always. 😄 Matthias PS: In case any of you have info who's selling one of the above items, let me know. She didn't say flat out NO, so if the price is right! 😊 👍🏼
Best of luck on finding these items Matthias, at least you have an LDC waiting...
Just to clarify the abbreviation you used there: LDC = BarreL Mounted Joy-Increasing Neighbors-Tricking Shot Noise ReDuCer
Being a backyard shooter most of the time, this is a very interesting topic. Thank you for all of your work in this area. The more I get into pcp rifles the more fun I have playing with these types of things. Always looking for ways to improve my rifle.Still learning how to tune my rifle for best results. Never thought I would have this much fun with a pellet rifle. I am hooked.
Hmmm, here we go...I wonder if this will splash over to our PCP (and other airgun) side of things...https://www.gunsamerica.com/digest/texas-passes-bill-to-remove-nfa-suppressor-requirements-for-made-in-texas-cans/?utm_source=email&utm_medium=20210528_FridayDigest_332gi&utm_campaign=%2Fdigest%2Ftexas-passes-bill-to-remove-nfa-suppressor-requirements-for-made-in-texas-cans%2F&fbclid=IwAR2ANo0zhnGOpfBdlKI7077TQBuVLGtrSvhhGLGVxnPzLrysD3NFuB9NZgk
New Mexico is next!
I have the Huma standard 30mm 4 section moderator in .25 for my .22 PRod. Works pretty well. Really quiets my upgraded Gauntlet .177 with short shroud. I like the modularity of the different sections so if I have a lower power factor airgun, I can shorten the can.
