Hey Vash545 great to hear from you. She sweet looking and shooting like a laser! Have to agree SPA is upping their game. Lol just need to work on barrels and spare part access. Jarmstrong it's dupli-color truck bed coating, black texture finish. Yep the ldc much quieter then the shroud for sure lol.
I have been looking for awhile to someone to make me a barrel for the P-15 and I just found Roy ,a week ago , NOW a second barrel guy appears, Wow. I bet you get more inquiries now as the barrel problems are coming to the surface. Gotta love this forum
Mike's rifle looks great, sounds like he is more than pleased with the barrel you machined for him. Are you listed in the GTA MALL , or how does a gun owner in need find your services?
In my opinion I think P15 owners should check that the factory baffles and shroud are installed correctly to ensure the stock suppressor is working as designed before considering ditching the factory unit. The factory suppressor will not function unless the aft most baffle is being held firmly in the "air stripper" that is threaded onto the end of the barrel. I discovered this when I first inspected my rifle and found the breach chamfer was chattered, and decided to remove the barrel/shroud/baffles to fix the barrel. Prior to removing the barrel and performing the polishing/deburring work, my rifle was very loud when dry fired inside, it sounded like an open muzzle with no suppression what so ever. When I was reinstalling the barrel I noticed that the air stripper relied on the convex portion of the rear most baffle to seal the aft chamber, and force most of the muzzle blast into the rear expansion chamber. When I reassembled my suppressor I left the rear cap set screw loose and stacked the baffles in, making sure the aft most baffle was seated squarely in the air stripper. Next I installed the remaining baffles and the forward end cap. Then I slid the entire suppressor assembly aft to slightly compress/hold the baffles in place prior to tightening the rear end cap set screw. When I dry fired it after reassembly there was a huge reduction in muzzle blast noise, even inside the garage. The rifle still sounded loud to me when I shot it to zero the rifle, but when a friend shot it realized that a lot of the noise I was hearing was being transmitted through the breach block and my face. My P15 is still not "mouse fart quiet" but it is very acceptable in my opinion. I think the aftermarket set of baffles sold by Air-Fective would be a huge step forward, but I am not willing to pay $40 plus US Dollars for shipping.
Mine is far from mouse fart. I get 102dBA at 6ft. My quietest air rifle 97dBa at 3ft.

LW barrel is coming home, only to be sent off to LeeAirPro to get muzzle threaded and blued, DonnyFl sumo ordered and I still have to bore a hole in the handle. Going to insert a 1/2 steel tube and epoxy it in the handle. Then remove the brace to the butt. Then paint dark olive. I would post photos BUT the dummy in me can not figure out how to, and I have been trying . The instructional posts have not helped me get past my lack of knowledge.I need a personal tutor in the flesh sit sit with me and guide my dumb butt through the process Lee and you did a nice job with your P-15 lookin good
