We see it differently because I see they are illegal by definition of law, plain and simple. You do not. Both the old law and the new statements, and NOTHING ANYWHERE says they are legal, yet they do say they are not. Not sure what there is to argue. Not prosecuting does not make them legal...

Interesting post but I still believe they are illegal but the ATF chooses not to push it b/c they aren't interested, plus it would be a can of worms and they don't want that either. Btw they didn't say "many", they said; "Numerous paintball and airgun silencers tested by..." That could mean all...

fpgt72: I can't imagine pellets hitting the baffles on the MRod, but maybe the orig versions had much smaller holes or some other bs causing it? Mine is fairly precision so even if the holes were .250" it would not be an issue with .22 pellets. Also, my oem suppressor had 7 baffles, it now has...

I figured I'd get some replies from that post, but it doesn't change the fact that they are illegal w/o a tax stamp. The law was no doubt written to be all encompassing so bad guys can't weasel out of it, but that means, as mentioned, my T-shirt is illegal too. So it's a matter of common sense...

Actually all suppressors for airguns are illegal, unless you have the tax stamp etc. The reason mfg's get away with it is the ATF doesn't cover airguns so they are not concerned about them (not my job), but they are still technically illegal. Even if a suppressor has to be cut from whatever it's...

I'm a springer guy (break barrel only) but I do love pcp. I had to drop the coin and get a Shoebox pump but I think it was worth it. Mine is a gen 2 Mrod and aside from power I mainly wanted quiet b/c airguns are illegal to shoot in my area, even in my basement. So to get that quiet I made a...

sparkyv: I put them in my mouth but I'd load/spit them into the muzzle one at a time. It was to ensure no misfires and reduce the annoying noise of BBz. It totally solved those probs, and I never noticed any rust but like all my guns I over oil so I rekon I had it covered...

Fyi, imo, they can usually hold if you have good mounts and/or the gun is tuned, assuming the clamp screws are actually tight which some people don't do correctly. Like taking into account the friction of nasty chinese threads and no lube which may eat up most of the torque, so it feels and...

Maybe not elegant, but friggin awesome! I picture stepping out on the porch in a wifebeater Tshirt, well worn cowboy boots and jeans, cigar tween yer teeth and locking eyes with six+ squirrels for a staredown at the bird feeder. Then whip that baby out, and with a smile (cigar still in teeth)...

I wonder how a golf ball on a chain would be? Or on a spring so it will quickly stop swinging? Seems like they'd last a long time and the perfect size to simulate vermin... Damn, now I'm going to have to find a golf ball..... So the neighbors don't complain about the noise?

That's the wrong trigger, you need the GRT. That one is for the NP2. You can mod your trigger to work as well as, or better than the GRT if you're willing to do the work. I always do it bc I'm unwilling to spend $ on something I can do better. The offer for the info/tuning pkg is still good, and...

fpgt72: If you (or anyone) haven't yet, get the free program Chairgun and you'll see how quickly pellets slow. On avg I'd say half power is lost ~50yrds, depending on the pells BC so some are much worse. It's interesting to see how much is lost at even 10yrds, especially if transonic, but...

fpgt72; you are 100% correct. And yes it simply moves the sear closer to release so it can be risky, especially when people dial it in to where they like it. To make the mod a little better you need to lighten the trigger return spring, but if you open it up you should choose another mod. I...

As mentioned it's the same as a coil spring except you don't have the spring twang. Technically the spring rate is different too but it doesn't really affect the feel except for cocking. So the gas spring is harder to cock but most people don't notice bc the peak cocking effort is only slightly...

Slamfire: Lotta power for 177. Your accuracy makes me wonder about the pellets you're using. Which are?? Assuming the right pellets and no bore defects I think you should be netting more distance. Nice lookin gun tho, I may be drooling a bit on the darker one.
