For the life of me I can't understand why it's so hard to find moderators for these two AIR RIFLES. It's perfectly legal to own them with no tax stamp for air rifles so I'm not sure why it's so difficult to find? What am I missing? Is the law grey?
MODERATOR TX200 & HW97K?
- Thread starter airgreek
- Start date
Being springers you wont see much reduction in sound as there is to much mechanical noise... Besides that both rifles come with a sound moderator already attached. Companies arent going to produce something that wont sell very well. Springers dont create that big air blast that follows the pellet out the barrel like pcp rifles.

I hear what you are saying but I have seen a moderator make a difference in noise levels. One video the difference was about 10 decibels

TX200 has built in moderator..
I made a video showing how smooth my TX is after the rebuild.
Turn your volume up.
You will hear the street noise and hardly nothing from the TX:

Cant judge decibels from a recording, to easy to modify the sound... Have been into springers for over 40 years, seen real fancy moderators that do next to nothing to deaden sound in real life conditions on springers...thats why they are so hard to find !!

Airgunspares will ship to the US. Takes a bit of time as the shipment is not express, but they've always come through for me. AOA also sells them, but it seems that Weihrauch mods aren't easily obtainable in the US. Can't comment on its effectiveness on a HW97.

I recently ordered the thread adapter for my .22 HW97K from AOA (but I had to call because it wasn't on their site yet), and am using a Tanto from DonnyFL. Both companies provided me with excellent service. AOA has never failed to impress me and my first transaction with DonnyFL was flawless. I can't provide a db reading, but the pop from the muzzle end IS lessened, to a degree, with no change from the piston end of course. It's not an overly loud gun to begin with, but I have a "sensitive" neighbor so I did what was feasible to me. One can't say I didn't try. There is also room for experimentation as the factory "muzzle chamber" on my gun was completely empty, so one could theoretically fabricate an insert for that as well. I am satisfied overall, and having the adapter gives me options.
