I have a few of them and they really do ping more than any of my other air guns. I am thinking about making a de-pinger for them, has anyone already tried this, if so what did you do and how effective was it? Thanks, Neil.

Has anyone tried a de-pinger in a Pneuma or Hatsan?

I made a delrin cup (open on the bottom-facing valve, and closed on the top with small hole) with an o-ring groove near the top of it so that it was snug fit to the tube ID. Worked like a charm...

Dave I can't quite picture what you mean,do you have a diagram or picture of the part you made? I was thinking about a cylinder bored out with the open end at the valve and drilling some small holes in the closed end, with either or-rings inset to make it a snug fit, or just make a nice tight sliding fit. This is a field I have never tried before and just want to quieten down my own guns, not interested in making them for anyone since I already have my own specialty, many thanks, Neil.

Neil, your first description is exactly what I am talking about. Cylinder with open end towards valve, closed end forward. I use a single o-ring to create a snug fit on the closed, end just to keep the thing in place.

Never made a de-pinger but have made similar items.
Not sure of the size of the center hole needed but if you can tap it also for a common thread it would be much easier to remove.

Thanks Dave, I was a bit thrown off by the cup description, lol Sometimes the old brainbox needs things laid out very simply for me to get it! Many thanks I will give one a try, Neil.

Use a bottle brush... The kind you clean baby bottles with... use a length of cord on it to aid in removal ( make sure you have it on the fill side or it will get in the valve) I did this to mine and it is totally effective... no ping at all

It may work but my concerns about using something like that would be of bristles coming off the brush and fowling the valve, I would much rather machine a part that has no chance of anything coming off and obstructing the valve . I am sure there are plenty of things that could be used and will work but I want a design that is well proven and has absolutely no risks associated with its use,thanks for the input though, all the best, Neil.
