Some Moderator Info Needed ( Gun Moderator, not forum )

[JoeWayneRhea]

Guys I was blessed enough to be given a new Brocock Bantam Sniper HR.25 at Extreme Benchrest this year and I know almost Nothing about PCP moderators.

My rifle has a threaded cap used as a threaded protector on the end of the shroud. Is this a universal size where most any model will work ?

I'm saving up for one at the moment and wanted to do my research ahead of time . I just don't want to buy one and then realize later it won't fit my rifle . 

You PCP guys jump on in here and help an old timer Springer shooter get up to date . Lol 

I'm hoping that I won't have to buy like an adapter for a Moderator so it'll look funny .

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

I believe it was the 1/2x20 unf thread, so Donny Fl or a Hugget will do. That is if I’m not mistaken.

I believe luisberry13 is correct. That is what i ordered for my bantam hi lite.

Nice score! Should be 1/2-20 as luis said

Lots of choices from Donny, Huggett etc. All depends on how big of a pickle you want to see on the end of that Brocock.

Bigger is quieter but bigger is also... Bigger

If you want to feel safe, call Utah Airguns. The carry the gun, They also carry both Hugget and DonnyFL mods and adapters (that they will ship to you rather you having to send your gun in) You can cover all your bases in one call. You could probably call Donny too, directly.

I have a couple of Bantams and it's 1/2 x 20 thread. You don't need an adapter, just order a moderator with the 1/2 x 20 thread pitch. A great little moderator that works well with it is a DonnyFL Tatsu. It's only about 4" inches long and really tame the sound.

The Brocock bantams are very quiet to begin with. You won't need a huge moderator. 1/2"x20 thread is what our Bantam uses. I agree that the Tatsu is really all you'll need for that gun but of course larger generally=quieter and that's up to you.

The DonnyFL Sumo would be another good one for the .25 but like mentioned before you should give Donny a call and see what he recommends for that airgun. 

Again, Congrats Joe.

Thanks Guys , A Donny is what I'm holding out for ....I have had several of his older units and they worked GREAT . The new ones are even more impressive !!! Plus anybody that has ever talked with Donny or been lucky enough to meet him can testify to what a great dude he is !! 

Donny recommended the Sumo so that's the one I'm gonna try and snag here in a week or two . 

It's actually kinda cool starting over with PCPs and getting to see all the new gear out there . Gonna try and test all the stuff I get in for the rifle as I can. Did a Bipod video and gonna make a scope ring video next week . 

Like most everything else in Airguns ...Just having a ball playing with all the stuff

The Sumo is what I have on my Crickets. It will do the job.

I like the Sumo on my Wildcat .25, nice and quiet.

I have the sumo on my veteran .25 and it works great. Also very professional looking and built with quality in mind. My buddy has a hugget on his streamline .25 and I would say the same about it. I honestly don’t think you could go wrong with either but Donny is cheaper in price and domestic so he gets my vote.

I believe that Sumo was Donny's original moderator design and likely remains the most widely used one. It's not small. It's not too large. Big enough to do an excellent job of moderating, but small and light enough to not be, nor look, like too much.

I've used a Tatsu, Shogun, and Huggett Universal on my Bantam Sniper .22. They're all good and effective. Tatsu is short and fat. Shogun is fat AND long. Huggett is sleek and elegant. Not much difference between them all in quieting a .22 cal Bantam Sniper.

I think that from Donny's line up, a Sumo will quiet down that Sniper as well as anything, without being over bearing on it.

 

[JoeWayneRhea]

Got a Sumo on the way ...Can't wait !!!!

Donny is the best

Looking forward to your observations. I'm in the market for my new (to me) Brocock Bantam 0.22.
