Does anyone have a suggestion for a moderator to use on my RAW 1000X LRT? This gun has the barrel without the factory moderator. Thanks in advance for the help.
Moderator for RAW

I currently have the Silent Thunder Falx on my RAW .25 cal LRT. At 60 - 62 ft lbs of power, I find that it does a stellar job of toning down the beast. I have also had very good results with a Ramus Trident moderator at about $100 dollars more. Both work well and do not introduce any unusual deviations in accuracy. As with all things, your mileage may vary..........
PS, if you want to try a Trident..............pm me.

I've tried quite a few moderators on my .177cal RAW, which is obnoxiously loud. The Impulse 1200 in it's standard configuration is similar in sound reduction to the Tanto or FX moderator, likely a little better. The Impulse 1200 with 1 extra section is the best compromise I've found between size and sound reduction and really does a great job. They are expensive, but they work extremely well. My home brew moderator may have worked a little better, but it weighs 4X as much and is a couple inches longer.

If you want it quite and look good all in one, consider sending to AZ for a full bull bbl shroud. My Raw hm1000x. 30.

The RAW’s dwell is way too long, like the good old saying; size matters when trying to tame that bark. Only hope is to go long and you probably need something in the neighborhood or 200mm before you hear significant sound reductions. I have a couple of guns that I can’t not get the dwell low enough and only thing worked is a 200mm long moderator.
Amongst commercially available moderators the STO Sarrisa is probably the longest I know. Or try to get a custom long moderator but make sure it’s 200mm or a bit longer.

Kind of gimmicky but for an experiment I took a shrouded harmonic balance from an M3, took the weight off and unscrewed the rear plug. The shroud has an air stripper and fit my 22 1000X fine. then I found a shaft oil seal that fit the ID of the shroud and after removing the spring I was able to get it over the barrel 'nipple'. It was still tight on the barrel and shroud. This alone made a big difference and with a Shumo it is now back yard friendly.

This is a dead nuts True statement. ^^^^
I spoke with Mike over at TKO about this for my RAW .25 after he did such a great job on the Moderator for my Feinwerkbau 800FT 20J .
As usual he knew Exactly what to do so i turned him loose, a week later i had my custom 205mm moderator and it does an outstanding job of taming the beast.
I know he also did a custom for a friend of mine in Baton Rouge after Richard saw mine.
There was Zero POI change with mine on either gun, the Feinwerkbau or RAW.

Just my two cents,
I purchased a use Ronin here and it is the only moderator I found that made it backyard friendly. I purchased two other used DonnyFL's of different sizes and had one from BuckRail made. None of them were up to para. It's got a big bark. Now if you are in the neighbors yard, all you hear is the pellet slap when it hits the target.

I got my Raw hm1000x a few weeks ago. I took the Tanto off my Streamline and the Raw was still quite loud. My db reader said about 90 but it seemed louder. It had a real Crack to it. I got a Impulse Air 1350 ant it seems much quieter. My db reader says it’s around 87 but it’s much more muffled. No crack anymore. The 1350 is really light also.

If you really love the look and feel of your RAW and want better/modern performance and have a few extra coins then reach out to @Motorhead. He is the only one I know can do a full “heart and lung” transplant or full internal upgrade( mvalve + hammer and more) that will make these guns simply sublime and whisper quiet.
