I had this mod done by Talontunes and its great. It changes the sound of the hammer strike from a “Clack” to more of a “Thud”. Any loss in velocity is slight.
Hoot, I’d contact Talontunes and ask Tony if he’ll sell ya a breech on an exchange basis.
If I understand Redeye’s mod correctly he has the grommet contacting the Sear. I’d thank that wound be problematic over time, i.e. damaging the grommet.
Red eye, so no more who’s your daddy???
Looks good, nothing better than doing a backside jack hammer on the bitch and giving her a couple of slaps to the ass 😈 😈 😈 😈 😈 😈 😈 😈 😈
So, on a side note how does it work?

Ok, I finally got off my lazy butt and decided to post my “armchair engineer” solution to the terrible affliction known as “hammer slap”. Go to Lowes or Home depot or any reputable hardware store. pick up the $5 bronze sleeve bearing that has a 1″ diameter. This part is listed elsewhere in this forum as the “heavy hammer”. I found it here a long while ago, and got the idea to make it quiet. Then get a rubber grommet that fits the diameter of the bronze sleeve bearing. You will need a razor blade or sharp knife to cut off the one side of the grommet, leaving the inside lip in tact. Just cut off the one flange. Apply a good rubber based adhesive to the inside of the grommet and stick it to the end of the bronze sleeve bearing. I polished the sleeve bearing up a bit with some 220 emery cloth by attaching the sleeve bearing to a dowel rod, then chucking the dowel rod in the drill press(hillbilly lathe….). I held the emery cloth while the bearing rotated on the drill press, and polished it until all the pits were removed.
I don’t have any numbers to tell you about performance, or loss of performance. I just bought this talon ss 6 months ago, and don’t have a chronograph. It seems to work well for what I am using the ss for, so your mileage may vary. This approach also keeps your stock setup in tact, in case you want to undo this setup later.
It is easier to look at the picture, so here is a shot of my quieted heavy hammer, and one showing the rubber grommet and where to cut it……………..and there it is. no fancy mills, or lathes or laser guided o-ring grooving hootchamajigs, just good ole’ fashioned hillbilly engineering. enjoy.
I think WOK had the best idea 🙄
But if the noise really bothers you THAT much, try cutting an O ring in half and epoxy it to the face of the breech. OR cut a groove in the face of the breech and glue in a suitable O-ring. Either solution will decrease power by a few fps.
i hear it works but in the process u loose fps

I wouldn’t guess it would be problematic, this hammer has somewhere around 3-400 rounds through it, and it is holding up well. Even if it did chew the grommet up a bit, spend 50 cents and replace as often as you like. I agree with the sound, it went from a clack to a thud type sound, I felt it was a significant sound reduction.
