Does anyone know the way to add a 1/2 x 20 moderator to a Bandit? Can you screw the factory moderator come off?
Thanks for the assist gents.

afik the only adapter is from a place in pakistan, or you might find something on ebay but yes, heat the thread area up with a heat gun and use some grippy gloves it will come off ... donnyfl does sell slip on adapters in various mm, but to work right the front sight would have to be removed and maybe the end of the barrel turned and sleeved .. the slipons do work for the gen1 rifle barrels if you set it up with a chaser stock and gen1 stormrider barrel ...

Bagnall and kirkwood sells an adapter, but it needs to be back bored a bit since the entire muzzle of the bandit is not threaded.

yes that item( the one from donnyfl ) will work for the bandit or chaser or stormrider, I use it with my chaser and bandit.

I want to purchase the adapter you're referencing I did look it up but I'm not sure what you mean by backbore so you're suggesting that this is not a direct fit to my Bandit

I measured the thread length and it is 11 mm worth of thread is this not sufficient for the adapter?

It isn't likely that you will find a moderator that is actually better than the one that comes on it. I've been building and testing moderators on a Stormrider for about two months. I have two Donnie's and another well known vendors moderator. The stock moderator beats all of them by 6 or more dBs. That is a LOT. I finally found a combination of baffles which will better it but only by 3 dB, which is pretty good.
Just sayin' the one that comes on the Bandit is exceptional for that gun.

He is saying that the adapter doesn't screw all the way down to the shoulder on the barrel of the Storm Rider or the Bandit. You can get around that by dressing that joint with washers. It falls about 3 mm short of matching perfectly.

At the risk of necroing a thread, I just got into shooting and airguns and have a bandit. I like the moderator just fine, but was wondering if it had to be removed if I wanted to add different iron sights to it since the front one is part of the moderator.
