Marauder SAM Moderator?

Just picked up a Marauder SAM.

Will a moderator make a difference?

Yes, I added a DonnyFL Tanto to mine and it did quiet it down a tad more.

Thanks for the reply.

Was it worth the extra money?

I shoot in my backyard and have neighbors on both sides, so for me, yes, but if you aren't in a community where houses aren't close to one another, probably not. The Marauder is pretty quiet as is, but, for the sake of my own peace of mind of not attracting any unwanted attention, I try and get all my air guns as quiet as possible.

On the Marauder Pistol the Donny FL has a HUGE effect. On the full size, it's noticeable for sure, just not as pronounced.

I found that the Tanto has a significant effect on the sound of my Kratos. Not a marauder, but it's included shroud, it was already pretty quiet. And yet the Tanto still made a huge difference. My wife no longer knows when i am shooting unless I hit a steel target

Thank you!

Does this rifle cycle with a moderator? No issues?

 

[FLgunner]

Yep, cycles the same with or without the moderator. The SAM uses blow-back from the hammer cycle, not air from the barrel.

From a post on a airgun website regarding adding a moderator to the Marauder:

"Adding moderator - one side note, remove your Marauder's baffles and spring. They will cause your rifle to shoot all over the place."



Anyone found this to be the case with the Marauder?
