I currently have a 1350 on it, but in my opinion, it is loud. What would be the quietest moderator for my setup?
Like as you guys say, "Mouse-fart quiet?
Thank You Fellas!

What would be the QUIETIST Moderator for a 25 cal FX Impact M3 500 barrel?

It's all suggestive. How fast are tou pushing the ammo? Is the rifle tuned properly? You should have very little sound once tuned, due to the rifle using all the air.

There is a youtube video where a guy tests about 20 moderators, all on the same gun. As I recall, the 0dB was the best.
I have one on my RAW .22 HM1000x and it does an amazing job. But It’s also a .22.

Hi guys, thank you for the quick replies.
I have an Impulse Air 1350 on it. I paid extra for Utah Airguns to tune it for me, so I'm sure that it's tuned properly.
Velocity ie 880fps

you can never be certain that someone else tuned your gun precisely,
more often than not they get "close enough" and out the door they go.
how hard you push it,
and how much air is wasted if not tuned well,
can make a big difference in sound level.
my m3 compact .25 is crazy quiet with just a donny tatsu,
running 28gn slugs at 949fps for 56fpe,
but i tuned it to have a balance,
so everything works happily,
it equals less wasted air and more quiet-ness.
the M3 is a really easy gun to tune IMO
but you may not have a chrono.

Thanks and yes I don't have a chrono or the knowledge to tune it better than Utah
I DID speak to my tuner, I forgot his name, and he did explain to me how he went about it, and he tailored the tune to the JSB Match Kings that I shoot.
Both of my gauges are congruent to each other as well
I am ASSUMING that my tune was done properly
So that's why I am asking what moderator is most effective for my setup

How do you know your gun is well tuned? How many shots you got before the air reach the second reg limit? Sorry i don't mean to questioned this, but now i'm struggling tp get more info to tune my 177 m3 600mm. Sorry for my newbie question...

Robinson

I had a Shogun on mine. I switch to the DonnyFx And barley noticed a difference. Mines a 600mm, but felt they both did a good job quieting it down

Honestly don’t know but I have one on my 700mm 30 cal and I think it does a great job, also love the fact it’s all metal

i have a friend that just put a Buck-Rail non-taper .25 on his
high output air hog maverick and its much better than anything
he has tried..... DFL, 0db, huma,
for $40 bucks and free shipping, he has done very well.

how? because i tuned it myself,
like i said,the M3 is pretty simple.
for whatever reg pressure you choose start with the valve adjuster out past the 4th line.
1.increase the hammer till velocity stops rising.
2. then back the hammer off till velocity drops about 10fps,
3. slowly turn the valve adjuster in till velocity drops another 5fps or so.
you have now achieved a nice balance,
and can further tweak if you wish.

In my opinion, you can't just take a brand new Impact out of the box, tune it in once and think you are done with it. It takes time for the gun to settle in, particularly the regulator system. For that to happen, you'll need to put at least a couple hundred pellets through the gun. Then check to see where you are.

Huggett Astille PLUS Moderator .25
penchetta.com I own a couple of these Huggett Astille in .22 and .20 and they are the quietest moderators I have in my collection (12) of PCPs.

oh and i get about 50 shots till i hit the first reg pressure,
i usually refill at my first reg setting of 150bar.
but mine is .25 so youll get a ton more shots than me,
as youll have a much lower reg pressure than im running.
Upvote 0
The 1st reg's purpose is to lower the initial pressure prior to it reaching the 2nd reg. You can shoot the gun until the 1st reg. gets near to the 2nd reg setting. My .25 cal M3 gets about 170 shoots per 250 bar fill at 940 FPS with 25 grain pellets. Which is about what FX estimates.

yes i understand that,
i merely choose not to shoot below (or much below) the first reg.
fx tells us to not shoot below the second reg pressure so as not to damage the reg.
wouldnt the first reg also fall under those guidelines?
plus,
if you have the 480cc bottle or bigger
youll get a bunch more shots than my compacts 300cc bottle.
either way no biggie to me,
anyone can shoot their m3 to whatever pressure they choose
i shoot 2 mags and refill
