I modeled this new one.O, yeah!That would be sweet.
I have to check the numbers, but I think I wanted a 12⁰ angle (not 30⁰ like is so typical of AR15 grips).
Shipping to Peru or to the US....

Tequila Gun PCP

- Start date
Four members group have them, they send me retrofit and I did the improvements according with their recommendations. And send a new silicon valve sets only for the .22 caliber. The other moderator was for a .30 caliber. I reinforced all the internals components using rubber gum and aluminum. I am waiting for their feedback. As soon as I get it, I will share the results in this publication. I hope get the results this coming week.

A little like the "original" 3D grip.
I don't have a picture anymore. I guess I deleted the picture when I replaced the 3D grip with the original wood panels, then with the new rubber panels.
Found the first picture with the original hex pattern 3D grip -
A hand full of changes to the gun since this shot.
Hmm, yeah, there's a few changes in the grip shape, from this first one. Might like to give the new one a try...

Finally I have time to do a short video showing the moderator performance, please visit the YouTube link: The distance between the sonometer and airgun are 3 feet.
I received the recommendation of four members group. Three of them tested the first version of the moderator in .22 caliber. They send me a lot information and I update the mechanical design with it. The other member was askin for a .30 caliber moderator, he update me with valuable information. Unfortunately he do not like the final product.
The attached pics show the dimensions of the moderator in the 3 version available.

Looks like the first two pics are the same. Certainly seems to tame the sound - congrats! How about the accuracy?

I do not check yet the accuracy but the internal hole diameter is 5/16. It is 0.046” by side of the pellet.

The attached pics shows the accuracy of the gun with and without moderator. The target was a 10 meters.

New H moderator configuration, this configuration is showing in the attached picture.
And the following video the performance of it.

Ouch...that's a mighty long muffler !!!
Seems that a pistol muffler should be about 1/2 of that, 6-3/8" length. Maybe 4" long.
I like the idea of the empty chamber then a baffle of some type. But again, the chamber doesn't really "need" to be that long...does it ?
How much air, by volume comes out the the .22 gun at, say, 550 fps ? Then the empty chamber should be some small portion of that volume, as expended, but it seems to me, "not" the full expanded volume. That could actually be "any" size if you think about it.
As I tested the original, two chamber muffler, in a few ways. I found that the two chambers, as...empty (no baffles), did a reasonable job of quieting the sound. VERY near what happened with the two baffles installed. Unfortunately, I did not try one empty chamber, and one baffle. I should have.
I'm going to take apart the muffler that I have. Remove the first baffle, leave the second baffler in place, see how that sounds.
So, one expansion "only" chamber, one baffled chamber, and test.

This moderator is other variant of the original. For the original, I have the following configuration:
The total length is 4 3/8
Upvote 0
MUCH better, pistol wise !
The longer length should work on, and look better a higher powered rifle, as required.
Although, even on my rifles, if a short muffler works, there's no need for the extra length...in my book. Like my FX Maverick, and Wildcat (similar guns), I have "single" sections of the Huma Mod40 on each of them. Keeps them both as short as possible, and, quiet...enough.
Whatever it takes, and no more...
Thanks for the option Alfonso.

The old model was designed with a small expansion chamber (3/8). The new one is bigger and works better. Also it is built in aluminum.

Well, I removed the first baffle (closest to the barrel), and left the second baffle in place. It's glued in per Alfonso's recommendation.
It was actually fairy quiet. Only shot it three times, and not for accuracy. I had done all that a couple of weeks back with good results.
So now I'm waiting for the new design can, that's meant for a single baffle (per the above), to see how that compares.
Overall, very happy with gun and its assembly of parts.
