I hear you , I looked up side effects for the vaccine I had , and they match right up . i guess the only way for me to look at it .is that its not near as bad as shingles can be , My Dad had a really bad experience with it , he had nerve damage to 1 leg that seemed like it took well over 1 year to get things back to normal ... but like they say the cure cant be as bad as the disease !

Shingrix Vaccine?

Yes I believe so... I just looked it up , and that Shingrix is 2 shots 6 months apart , and that is what they have me doing ,this was the first shot , Oh boy I can't wait for the second shot ! NOT ! or - well it is a lot better than getting shingles I guess , but thats going to not BE so good getting the second shot knowing its going to make you sick ! ... Oh Boy what deal this 1 is , DANG !

this Shingrix i believe is a dead vaccine that takes 2 shots , .... there is also a live Vaccine 1 shot , but the doc told me there was even more chance of getting sick on that 1 ....

my left arm was where she shot me , and it didn't hurt right after the shot no big deal , but then I woke up at 330 AM and my whole arm hurt like H&LL ,and i was shivering so bad my teeth were rattling un controllable ,till I took 2 naproxen ,and it took effect ....

YIKES !

I had the same bad side effects from the Shingrix Shingles vaccine both times. My wife had no side effects. I had no side effects from the Zostavax live vaccine but that one is supposed to be less effective than Shingrix. I've had Shingles (before the vaccines were available) and believe me, you don't want to get it.

I seem to being doing better this morning , and you are right you don't want to get shingles , my dad says his knee has no feeling in it from nerve damage from shingles , kinda crazy !

.... hope fully later today I can get some more testing in on my .22 Avenger ... so far it's just like my .25 Avenger - No disappointments air gun of the year for sure for price ,and features ...

My Geoffk Monocore Moderator / Suppressor Baffle from eBay is being delivered today. Will test it out on my .22 Avenger this weekend and report back. Hoping it suitably quiets the report as I don't consider the rifle quite backyard-friendly enough as it comes stock. Don't really want to add another 5-6 inches of length in a external moderator ifn I don't have to.

Installed it and took a shot in the backyard - some reduction in report but nowhere near what I was hoping for. In the process of sending Neil Clague an email to see if he can do something along the lines of a Donnyfl Tanto. Want something robust that can be easily installed/removed.

Anyone know what the shroud end thread size/pitch is on the .22 Avenger?

elguapo99 · « **Reply #32 on:** October 16, 2020, 10:50:40 PM »

Donnyfl makes an adapter for the Avenger that has 1/2-20 threads. I have the Geoffk baffle in mine with the Donnyfl adapter and a short ldc. The hammer strike is much louder than the report. I also drilled a couple of small holes in the rear of the shroud with a piece of foam per Hajimoto's video instructions.

Link to Haj's video? I'm going to send the eBay baffle back for a refund and spend the $ on a high-quality removable moderator instead.

Yes David please let us know. I got one earlier for my Origin (same baffle fits both guns) but the included pump did not work so I had to return the whole pkg. (they were sold out at the time so no exchanging for another Origin) but meanwhile bought an Akela instead so I let the baffle go to another airgunner without Ever testing it, been curious ever since...

I really don't have to worry about noise at all , but its interesting to see what works the best ...

Wayne52 · « **Reply #37 on:** October 17, 2020, 03:24:19 AM »

Just ordered the LDC adapter for my liberty and it will also work on the Avenger as well. That way I can make them both quiet, just a matter of unscrewing the adapter from one to the other

Is your Liberty a .22 or .25 & what LDC are you running?

Wayne52 · « **Reply #39 on:** October 17, 2020, 06:44:29 AM »

David the Liberty is .22, the LDC is a Rocker 1 that's .25 and will work on both 22 & 25.
