Huggett Astille Moderator

[ctshooter]

Has anyone tried the Huggett Astille moderators yet? I haven't seen any posts.

I'll give my qualitative impression - very impressive moderators for their size.

I bought a .30 with one extension for my Leshiy .30 350mm barrel. I was running a .30 Tanto on it which did a surprisingly good job for its size of quieting down a 60fpe shot. But it wasn't indoor friendly. I was very impressed with the Atom I had bought and looking at the Astille I thought I'd give it a try. The Astille with one extension brought the sound down to what I would call a quiet gun. Indoor friendly - yes. 

Yesterday I received a .22 Astille with one extension and again I am very impressed. The sound is lower and softer than a .22 Koi shooting at ~36fpe.

I also got one more .30 extension - which I've yet to try out. I'm trying to get a .30 @ 60fpe to 'whisper quiet'.

Would be interested to hear any other experiences.

Interesting, can you share a photo of one on your Leshiy? Curious to see what that would look like

How does it compare to the small Belita. Snipe. Mini Magna and the BIG Magna. The Magna is comparable to the Emperor and lighter. YO!

Yo - aside from the Atom this is my first experience with Huggett so I can't compare the other model.

Here is a picture of the .30 with two extensions on my Leshiy. There is doubting the resemblance to something else of an adult nature.

Yeah, kinda does resemble something from an adult shop....
