12" Talon SS baffles
I’ve gotten a couple of PM’s asking how to and does jaybirdo’s baffle scheme really work in the 12” SS.
First off, the baffles knock down the stock SS report to where you can hear tank ping if your PW is set around 4-5 or lower. Is this method as quite as the $120 solutions? Due to reduced expansion volumes, I think not. I would go the $120 solution, in a heart beat, for the 18 or 24” barrels for urban warfare or if quieter 12” needed.
For the 12” shrouded frame, jaybirdo’s $8 solution brings an evil grin on my face, it’s “almost” as quite as my spring FWB-124. My 124 does not have the report of a PPC, unless dieseling, more mechanical at different frequencies for a better term.
As to sequence, you would remove end cap. Insert o-ring-spacer o-ring – washer, this clears the barrel. Then o-ring, washer-o-ring-spacer for next “module”. I ended the front section with stacked washer and o-ring combos, some with 4 o-rings stacked to vary the chamber and add rubber “squish” to end cap and to keep things tight inside shroud. There is lots of room for tinkering with the volume sequences here so have fun.
I got the ¾” copper pipe unions, near 1” OD, 1” (-214) o-rings, and 1” OD with ¼” hole washers at my local Lowes. The copper unions can be cut length wise if a tight fit required, I used 1 wrap of electrical tape to avoid metal to metal and help center but probably not needed. Nice of AF to have shroud ID near 1”, no? 😛
After assembly I made sure no tube shadows or cocked baffles were detected by looking down the bore. No pellet clipping or change in POI, 20 yards, has occurred. If given the room I would have tested before and after at 40 yards to check POI.

Yeah, the bad part is that crap gets stuck in your head…,
Can you imagine if that is what was in the mirror, LOL!! (for someone…, it is- yuck!!!)
Im trying to figure out how to unsee it . my eyes my eyes 😥
Damn!!!
That is one of the grossest things I have ever saw!!
Adam you have a pic for every occasion 😯
An 18″ or 24″ with shroud would be my next move up along with a regulated tank.
The choices we have with these guns and configs is what made me get one instead of waiting on a Marauder.
A few more chickens will get you a second rifle, good shoot’en Hoot!

I read about felt washers and bought some. Nice ones too! Thick, heavy material, right size OD and ID too!
Then I shot my Talon a few times, but didn’t notice any real difference until the felt washer was seen sticking out of the end of my shroud. It had been behind several washers and O rings, and packed in quite tight.
Read into this anything you want. That was my experience, so I removed my felt washers.
I’ve now shot, and sold, enough of my neighbors chickens to buy a store-bought custom shroud. I’ll report on it when it arrives. I moved up to an 18″ barrel in .22 so I’m curious to see how quiet it is.
If its genuinely, really, really, quiet….when it comes, so will I. 😆
I tried felt washers in my Talon SS, using the washers, springs, washers, O rings setup. I agree the washers, springs/copper spacers/O rings by themselves worked right nice, especially at “5” and below.

Well… 🙄
Some really knee-jerk stuff there. Im gonna take the new guys side on this one.
Paratrooper dude……. I say welcome aboard, as well as a word to the wise. GTBJ is well known, and well respected here on the forum. Best not to come in with both guns blazing. We are different than ANY other forum around. We are an extremely close knitted bunch of loonies that don’t cotton to strangers that have a lot to say, but no practical experience with our AF rifles. Settle down and have some fun.
Intermission….
Ok now this was an entertaining thread until that last pic Wok. THATS JUST NASTY! Poor bluejay having to stare at that all night 😥 I think I would stick with the gay biker bar no matter what the money 😀
Dude I bet you can make a bundle at an Arizona Titty Bar
O.K you two some bitches now that I have the beer cleaned off my screen… Hell no I don’t do it for free, when your as good lookin as I am they just throw $20’s at me all night long 😆
That poor ugly bastard teffy though he keeps dangling C-notes at me and still can’t get any :14 :11 :14
looks like I may not be at the biker bar much longer, I was offered a job to bounce at the titty bar down the street last night so we’ll see what they offer me…
Absolutley Not!
He does it for FREE 😛
i am not one to take sides in matters like these but dam that made me smile 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆
