Have you looked at some dovetail to picatinny adapters? Some have extension which would allow you to move it further back. I'm also annoyed by the top rail tilt, mine is about 8 moa. I may make a roller bushing for the rear latch pin and grind the catch (spur) flat. This of cource will lower the barrel alignment to the piston port, so an equal amount needs to be cut deeper into the top rail to re-align the port again. This will make every thing parallel and get's rid of the barrel tilt. Or I could just make make this my hunting rig and leave as is, lol.Well now I know, the silencer makes very little difference to the overall sound of the HW45.
It does affect the POI as there is more mass up front that has an effect on the recoil - less muzzle dip.
For whatever reason, I couldn't get the adjustment on the red dot sight any higher, so I used it at half power which gave less muzzle dip. I was quite pleased with the ten shot group, off-hand at 10m.

I then wanted to try it with the opens.

Hmmm.
Maybe I need to re-fit that red dot, I only put it on because the diameter of the silencer blocked the opens! The other alternative is a pistol scope, it annoys me that there is no facility to fit a sight further back, they just don't look right to me in the middle.
I might try fitting some sort of RMR plate on my old clunker model, but I won't be drilling any holes in this one.
Most of the report of the P1 /45 is from the mechanics of the gun. If you think about it, there already is a long void, which is why the HW75 sounds a bit quieter than its competitors. With springers already quieter (in regard their sonic report) its possibly why you got little for your trouble.Well now I know, the silencer makes very little difference to the overall sound of the HW45.

I have had one for a couple of years now…mounted on a BSA R10…use it for HFT..ranges as well as a Hawke 6-24 I also have. Not as well as the Sightron…though not as pricey. It is a great scope for the money IMO. John
thanks for the assist ...The Sightron SIII was very nice... but the price was hard to swallow...lol...I found Element Helix 6-24-50 on eBay brand new unopened box for $308 shipped...I have 30 days to play with it ...can't ask for more than that...Thanks John
