HM1000

[beerthief]

i am thinking about a raw hm1000x , what are the differences in an unshrouded barrel / shrouded barrel , NO moderator ? OR a shrouded VS shrouded W/ moderator ?
I want to use it in NRL 50 / .22 against PB's and do not want a moderator / confrontation as i travel about .

IMO, for best accuracy, I would go without a shroud or moderator. Yes, it will be louder, but shooting against rimfires? Who cares. You could discuss this with Martin because I see that he installs muzzle brakes on some of his rifles. I've tried an air stripper on my TM1000 and decided that it didn't make any difference. I guess I would go bare barrel.

Martin does not make shrouds for his RAW's, it's just a carbon fiber sleeve that helps with harmonics and rigidity that you see on his barrels. If you purchase one, I would recommend one with a unf 1/2 20 adapter so you can put on an LDC of your choice and try different ones for sound suppression and accuracy.

Guess I'll be the outsider here, I have both versions (the 22 with the original air stripper and the 25 has a threaded end - not muzzle as Martin refuses to thread the muzzle. It's an add on piece.) I shot the newer one without moderator and accuracy/consistency sucked! I added a DonnyFL and consistency went fantastic. My 22 with the original can is far more consistent than the 25 with the add-on Donny. I can post lots of target pics to prove it, but I wouldn't buy one of the newer versions just for the lack of the monster can. Now the cocking handle — that's a different story!

Ross, as we know, Martin also builds suppressors that work in tandem with HIS GUNS..LOL! I also like the new biathlon lever and if I ever want to upgrade...LOL! There are snap on biathlon levers by Cube on ebay that fit RAW's and HW's, cheap upgrade...it also has a set screw but everyone says it doesn't need it FYI...I'll try and post a link.

Note this does not suit the New HW100 KT 2020 New Handle with a hole. Beautifully made looks like an original part of the HW100. Perfect, solid and so well engineered. A worthy HW100 addition. One of the best mods for the HW100, looks like a factory fit.
