Quieting an Artemis P15 - Anyone have good luck

[nagelxj]

Im thinking about buying an Artemis P15 in .25 for my daughter.  I've searched and read a lot about it and the noise lever is my concern.  Id love to get ot around the sound level of a Wildcat or Marauder if possible.  Has anyone tried a DonnyFL Sumo LDC or the Air-Fective Tuning baffle kit ir anything else?  Any luck on lowering the noise level?  My Wildcate is ahout 84db with a DonnyFL Sumo and my Marauder is a bit quieter with the Hill baffles.  My goal would be to be around that level.
Thanks

Thanks

Accuracy should be your first concern, not noise. I own a .25 and it's not that loud, but it groups like a shotgun. Making it even quieter was easy and cheap. Rebarrelling it is not.

Thanks for the warning.  All the reviews I read said its a tack driver.  Not the case for you?

My gun looked like someone crowned the barrel with a drill bit. I had a new crown done by a gunsmith and it tightened my groups but I still always had fliers. 3 or 4 out of 10 shots. What’s even more strange it the fliers grouped and always to the right a couple inches at 30yrds.  At 20yrds the gun would pass as acceptable. At 30yrds the fliers show up. At 50yrds, every pellet gun that Walmart sells shoots better. I finally started seating my pellets in a little deeper than my probe did. I just used the short end of an Allen wrench. Good accuracy and zero fliers. Bottom line is my chamber is cut too deep. Now it’s barrel time. It’s such a cool little gun so I think it’s worth investing some more $ in it. I made mine more quiet by only using the first cone baffle because it is needed to direct some of the blast back the shroud. I used a muzzleloader speed loader tube with holes drilled in it to fill the place of the other baffles the gun comes with. It has the perfect inside diameter and outside diameter to center itself in the cone that I left and the air stripper cap on the end of the shroud. I just wrapped it with some felt and it is completely backyard friendly.
