Hi everyone. As quiet as the weihrauch hw30s is I’d like to make it more quiet with a moderator. Any recommendation on a silencer besides the weihrauch 15mm push on silencer that’s not in stock for a long time already at AOA? Any info would greatly be appreciated.

Get it threaded 1/2x20tpi & put any you want on.
Walther LGV & HW Urban Pro definitely are quieter

Thanks for the info. Not sure where I can go get it threaded or is there a place I can send to for that service. But that sounds like the best idea.

A shroud is a better idea. It's more solid and easier to do right. Preferably one with baffles. Just remember with anything "slip on" that the sight grooves will have to be filed flush for it to fit correctly. If it's not concentric to the bore, it's not going to shoot well. And it needs to be solid if you are going to be using it for a cocking handle, which most do.
I wouldn't get one threaded unless it also got chopped. And I wouldn't get one chopped unless it could be choked. I've done them all ways and they always shoot better with a choke that's done right.
Easiest thing is just order a threaded barrel from the UK.
I think you'll find that it doesn't make enough difference to be worth the hassle.

Thank you for the the advise. I'll look at the threaded barrel from the UK. That would be the easiest and cleanest way.

Would you have a link to the threaded barrel from UK? I just did a search and they're not clear as to if the barrel is threaded or not. Thank you.

Any good machine shop can thread the end and make it concentric to the bore. You use a four jaw chuck and indicate to the bore. However, I would hope that Weihrauch makes their barrel IDs concentric with the OD.

John in PA is a tuner, and he can thread your barrel.
He has threaded 2 for me, and yes silencers make a difference on a springer.

Were you able to add a silencer to your HW30? What are your thoughts? Was it worth the effort?

The slip on 15mm Weihrauch moderator is available at Chambers and they'll ship to the US. I just ordered another one before Christmas. I have a HW30 Urban Pro with the shortened barrel and glued on mod and also have another HW30 that I placed the HW slip on mod onto. The urban pro is quiet and the other one is just as quiet with the slip on mod installed but it really makes the rifle long. Another route to consider, adding to the above suggestions is, if you must add a mod, buy a 15mm to 1/2unf adapter and add a small mod to it. The 30 is pretty quiet to start with....

That rifle will not benefit much if at all from a moderator. It is a sub 12 fpe spring rifle. Nearly ALL the noise the rifle makes is mechanical not muzzle blast.
Addition of a moderator will make that device the.principal grab point while cocking. That means your moderator and it's attachment will need to be exceptionally sturdy even at that power level.
IMNSHO it will be an exercise in frustration..

It's going to be hard to keep my hands off the moderator. I should be able to experiment with the Buckrail 15mm to 1/2 unf adapters. I just use that Diana Chaser when I need to be that quiet.

Have you tested how loud your specific HW30 is?
Mine when tested with a DB meter app via my phone next to it registers at about 80 db, and its outputting about 7.5 FPE with an ARH kit. My HW50 and Diana 34 are about 90 db. I've seen other forum posts of people claiming lower than 80, perhaps this is due to differences in lubrication or different spring kits etc.

Keep in mind phone apps results aren't an actual decibel meter. There's probably varying degrees of accuracy among them. Their numbers can only really be used to compare situations measured with the same device.
