Loud Hatsan Vectis ? No more

[El_Teacher]

I like my .25 cal hatsan vectis, it is powerful, accurate, but is a hell of a loud noisy, so i decide to put hands to work and cut the muzzle brake with a portable handsaw

For my surprise it has already a 1/2 tread to put a moderator LDC

Here´s the one

It´s well made, capable to shut off the screamest gun

Now my rifle is so quiet, that only the hammer is heard when hits the valve, making it backyard friendly

I turned my power down a little bit to not waste as much air and it got significantly quieter

Nice! Good to know the barrel is actually factory threaded!

How'd you know where to cut it?

Did some modifications on the (very bad) built in muffler.

The inside I bored from 24 to 25mm, as I had a nice thin alloy pipe that size.

The nut on the the thread I i bored the small holes a bit bigger and put a sleeve on so it fits the alloy pipe

and uses the small shroud around the barrel.

Inside I put some perforated alloy tube and two K.bend alloy washers with about 1 mm bigger bore (then 22 cal)

In the (cut of) endcap I put a small alloy pipe also with a smaller diameter, the rest from the orginal is not used anymore.

with some damping material in that whole thing is working much better now than before and backyard friendly.

Another good homemade solution. Bravo.

Yes, kind of wanted to keep the Vectis like it was.

The parts I used were in my working bench and kitchen, so no costs.

Good job Michel ! but how quiet is now your vectis ? Mine it's so quiet only the hammer is heard.

BTW. the moderator was made in a CNC machine, a friend of mine dit it.
