OK Guys and Gals,
I had a light bulb came on in my mind last night, a frequently occurring incident. It illuminated the answer to the question I had posed earlier, how does the harmonic tuner work if it's not connected to the directly barrel, only via shroud.
Pretty simply put, all the vibration causing any unwanted oscillations that the barrel experiences first originate in the breach area during the firing cycle. So by attaching the HT to the shroud, which attaches to the breach helps quiet the "noise " coming from the firing and tune of the gun.
I included the "tune" because more experienced pcp folks have concluded , that a good tune can stop this harmonic disruption. Everyone who had every found the one moment when the gun sound gets "quiet" because everything is in balance. Entirely different sound ! When the opposing forces are balanced. Nirvana of airguns. All the HT is only a tool to allow for super fine tuning of an already finely tuned system.
Should then should the HT be only installed after that "quiet tune" be realized or during the process? Smooth it out first then put the finally tune with the HT or start with it installed? Your insight on this question, please.
Reminds me of earlier springer days when the objective was to cut hold sensitivity by manipulation of springs , spring guides and all the surrounding components.
I would like to apologize to any manufacturer that might have offended to my marketing theory and thank them also for allowing me to continue the "illumination" process.
Thanks Folks
