No worries, I count you as a trusted customer

[wyz2285]

Thanks
May I know the shape of the parts and how they will be assembled?

[jackssmirkingrevenge]

I was thinking of a monolithic core similar to the part here and a spring to keep it tight.

[wyz2285]

Hum I was thinking something like this

Not sure if there is enough space for such through.

[jackssmirkingrevenge]

This is the original set I had made for Jake:

[wyz2285]

In your opinion, does independent baffles work better than only one core? I haven't tried any yet so, you're the specialist, you decide

[jackssmirkingrevenge]

Doesn't make that much of a difference to be honest, especially on a springer where most of the noise comes from the spring anyway and the volume is so small.

herewith the result

Impressive work!
What kind of wood did you use for this box?
I assume you used acid etching and a brass plate for the emblem at the lid?
You should really try salt water etching on Ferrous metals, it gives a nice deep etch in a matter of seconds.
I've used it on 316L stainless with success.

Ever tought about making a gas ram for a spring gun? they eliminate a lot of twang..
Haven't had the chance to make one for my Hammerli yet

[wyz2285]

Make sense. Then do whatever you think it's easier meanwhile I'm looking for a new scope for it.

[jackssmirkingrevenge]

Impressive work!

Thanks, I hope she agrees

I have no idea, must have been something fancy though because it was the backing of a plaque from my father's old office.

Yup, concentrated nitric acid on a design cut from masking tape.

I haven't really gotten into working with ferrous metals because of the power limitations of the Sherline, hopefully soon I will upgrade...

Reminds me of a very old thread...

Its actually funny how big difference baffles make though 97k is a springer. It reduces the sound and makes the gun sound even more pro

[wyz2285]

It is loud isn't it? I thought so because every shot I take there is always a sharp bang, very different from the spring bounce.

[jackssmirkingrevenge]

Still one of the quietest springer rifles around apparently: http://www.straightshooters.com/decibel ... rguns.html

Here's wyz's monolithic baffle stack to complement the fine example of German engineering he wisely chose to invest in

Nice! When I saw both email notification from this topic and a pm, I thought it was about this can't wait to get it.
