Yep!
My personal opinion is that the original Veteran came with the most effective OEM shroud/husher of any airgun that I've played with. They're aluminum walled, aluminum baffled, reflex type shrouds, that are essentially moderators. And moderators of a much better (more effective) design than many actual moderators.
Well, I figured out a way to install a shroud from a Vet Long onto my .20 Ghost. Since both the Vet and the Ghost use 15mm OD barrels, it wasn't too tough, just required a thread conversion to go from BRK barrel thread to 1/2x20.
The conversion makes the Ghost about 5/8" longer than an OEM BRK shroud. And my oh my my does it quiet things down!
Ghost isn't ever going to be the quietest airgun around, just too much inherent action noise. But this certainly helped. With this Vet shroud, adding a moderator on the end of the shroud doesn't make it any quieter, so I've got all the muzzle noise contained that is possible to contain. And without making it a big long broomstick like happens when you run a moderator on the end of the shroud.
And the Vet Long shroud that i tracked down is one of the more matte ones, so it matches the matte chassis of the Ghost rather well. Going to run it this way for a while and see what I think. From first impressions, it's seeming like it'll be like this from now on.
Not the greatest photo but this is what I've got....
