Suggestions on quieting down an Xp

[bigbuck28]

Received my XP Airgun in 357 and it’s awesome except it’s pretty loud. I’ve tried diff psi’s along with the high/ low power and weirdly it’s most quiet at 4000 psi with a MR HP 207g slug. I had him make me an LDC with the gun.

I know it shooting a large slug and has a ton of power which is what I wanted but thought it would be quieter.
Maybe it sounds loud to me bc I’m hearing the spring next to my head????
A suggestion was made to have Neil Clague make me an LDC. Will I see a significant noise difference?
Right now I’m shooting the 207gr at 864 fps.


Any and all suggestions are welcome thanks guys

On my 50 Texan Tx2 Valve. A Donny FL Emperor with the extra extension is Pretty effective,at 800 ft lbs. It's heavy and long but it works. Your can just isn't big enough for the air volume. My 2 cents

^this... believe an effective setup might be an airstripper dumping/ separating air in extension followed by a mod... geometry of setup should be dependent by volume and pressure of air escaping. New behemoth and some custom makers understand and have applied this method successfully, even stripping the air as it enters the first baffle and directing it back arouns/ down into expansion chamber

I'm considering starting some FEA models to understand and start designing my own - or understanding what some on the market are doing, would be interesting to look at the results

I have the xp pup in 452 with Xp can and think it does a great job of taming the bark . The thing I have found best and keeps the gun shorter is a pair of earplugs!!

I have the same can on my xp 452 an it does a pretty good job but the donnyfl emperor on my DAQ 308 works better, so I would try a Empeor with the extension like Reedmosser said. I've been thinking about talking to Doug about the bulldog stock for my xp if it doesn't sell on here, how do y'all like the bulldog stock?

I like the bulldog stock but am just disappointed with how loud it is. I was told if I was shooting it someone 30ft away wouldn’t even know I was shooting it. Other than that I love it so I’m hoping the Neil LDC will quiet it down. I ordered one

I really like the bullpup version !

Wish I had got that option now but when I talked to Doug and Dan the other day they said they had just started designing the bullpup stock when I bought mine a year ago but they would talk it over and see what they could do for me on making the bullpup stock for mine.
