Thanks, Steve! I'll check mine tonight. Think I'll actually remove the shroud, and see if my Buck Rail modular 1/2-20 ldc will fit the thread.
This may be beneficial since I don't find the stock silencing system has a bit of a bark to it. So, if it is 1/2-20 threaded, an aftermarket ldc may quiet it down more. As long as it doesn't add too much extra overall length to the gun (for me).
I'll certainly apply blue locker to that screw, regardless.

I tried to screw on one of the 1/2-20 printed moderators I made but it didn't feel like the threads were correct. Interested in your results with the Buck Rail.

I'm betting the P-pup isn't 1/2-20, but I'll give it a try. The BR modular ldc has metal threading, so it should be easy to confirm.

Looks like I may be incorrect about the 1/2-20, my Donny FL Tanto screws on to the Pup and seems to line up properly. When I retried the printed moderator it seemed to line up properly as well, just feels loose going on, but lines up when screwed all the way down.

Well, with the shroud back on my Pup, and the grub screw as tight as I can get it, I can see the collar begin to move again after five or six shots, so the collar is trashed. My Donny FL Tanto is an inch shorter on the rifle than the shroud, so there is room for an even longer ldc without over extending the rifle length. The Tanto is 1.22 inches in diameter and there is a little room between it and the tank for something slightly bigger. Hopefully the BR ldc will fit. Looking forward to your results.

Well my collar and grub screw were secure when I checked it. I went ahead and removed the shroud. Unfortunately, the 1.5" diameter BR modular ldc is too big with the air tube in place. I put a bit of thread locker on the grub screw and reassembled the shroud.
Good to know that it is 1/2-20! I have another BR shroud on the way for one of my 2 Webley Nemesis X pcp, and it should be narrower. I'll try it on the P-pup to see if it reduces the report over the stock shroud.

Sounds great. It does not seem that the Tanto reduces the noise quite as well as the shroud, but I will have to try some others as my shroud will not stay on now...

So, the thread on the collar must be stripped. How about taking a Dremel and grinding a small pit into the barrel? This would allow the grub screw to be set into the pit, and prevent the shroud from moving off the barrel.

smythsg · « **Reply #208 on:** April 25, 2025, 10:36:57 PM »

That is certainly a possibility, and I may go that route, but now that I know the barrel is threaded 1/2-20, I may try a few other things first...

Or you could redrill and tap for a slightly bigger grub.

smythsg · « **Reply #210 on:** April 26, 2025, 10:51:11 AM »

The threads for the grub seem fine, but the grub itself has a completely flat, somewhat broad end which does not grab the barrel very well. I still think a pit was a good idea, but I will replace the grub with a better one if I go that route.

A BR Modular Supressor is on its way to me now and I will try it on the PuP. It may live there, or might get moved to my Airforce Escape UL if it does a good job.

I picked up this 450 piece grub screw kit from Amazon.. It has some common screws in it for airguns.
The price was right.. especially if you need a little something to hit the free shipping minimum.

Nice, I may pick up one of those kits as well, thanks. I did find a couple of slightly longer grubs from another project that fits the collar and looks like they might work better.

avator · « **Reply #213 on:** April 26, 2025, 11:13:22 AM »

Yeah, I used 2 of the M5 - 12 for the trigger mod on my Avenger... night and day difference.

Got my P-Pup in this afternoon! Gave it a good going over, checked all my screws, cleaned the bore. All nice and shiny now. Added my Pinty scope and mounts, filled her with air, no leakage heard, but have it sitting until tomorrow. Only thing is, I hate these magazines! They are trash in every way in my opinion. A backwards loaded pellet waiting to happen! Glad I ordered the aftermarkets.

I think they're fine. I've used better and I've used worst. These fall somewhere in-between. At least they work, unlike the Notos' magazines.

Yay! Glad it has arrived, and looking forward to your experiences with it.

So has anyone gotten the correct rail on the Bullpup?

According to my Ser.#, I have number 19, and the rail is correct. it just arrived today, and that was the very first thing I checked for. Maybe I got lucky!

Yeah, I've got a Notos as well. One use and I ordered a handful of the Maple after markets for it as well. I even have one of the 15 rounders for it. They work like a champ.

If you're using Pinty mounts, it will fit fine. It's the other standard picatinny mounts that will not fully clamp onto the P-pup's rail.
