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.

Riding a bit hard there GTBJ !!
WE all know what the outcome will be, doesn’t mean the noobs will.. 😆
The discovery is a big part of the fun. Say your piece then sit back and enjoy and reminisce of the times when you were that noob as you watch them tread the same, well trodden path
😆
I have been reading this forum for over 1.5 years… joined and started posting only after reading for hours.
I agree with the older guys… I wrapped springs with a nice material and the pressure sucked the shit right in.
Later cut up an aluminum crutch and I must that that tubing fits great inside the airforce frame and worked very well with washers and an oring or two.
However just got a bluejay husher and I do believe it works better than my old setup.
Read and learn…listen and learn… experiment and screw-up then start posting…but watch what ya post or someone(like gtbj) with bite your ass

Hey that sounds like a good Idea.
Really? I remove my baffles by shooting them into my hand from my SS. No holes yet. I dont think I would put my hand right on the muzzle though. How does GTBJ know it will put a hole in your hand anyway? Either he tried it himself or he is talking out of his arse. Either way doesnt make him look very good.
The best thing about these guns is that you can get more fun out of experimenting with them than shooting them. If you havent tried the actual material that he has suggested then you really cant claim it wont work out. Even if it does “fray” over time Im sure you could come up with a replacement schedule and put new ones in before that happened. Many guys on this very forum have used, and may still use scotchbrite pads in their baffles. They all have said that over time they will wear out and need replacing but I dont see anyone riding their ass over it.

here is what you do
step 1 – grab all your “various other rifles” and your SS and give them all a full charge, be sure to check for CLEAR
step 2 – place hand on muzzle, shoot your self in the hand with nothing but air, start with grandmas gun and work your way up to the SS.
step 3 – take pics for us too see
step 4 – document what happens, when you get back from the emergency room let us know if you think your badd assed felt with no washers to back them will hold up…Oh wait, they are now sandwiched tight 🙄

That sucks…, I thought you had a “good” experiment, followed it one step at a time (without jumping ahead to read all of it) and here I am, hole in my hand, can not shoot my Talon and hurting.
I will try to take pics when I get back from the hospital, I am afraid I “may” have air in my blood system now.
Lesson learned- don’t listen to YOU!!!
I was staying at a friends house in Texas and went to take a shower one morning and almost stepped on two of them…they replaced the shower curtain I destroyed later that day. The fire ants there suck too. Other than that I loved it there, We could shoot deer there right from the front porch.
Well Crow, at least you got rid of them! 😀
Were eat up with scorpions. I hate those nasty little bastards! 👿
At least you can eat snakes. 😆 Well if you are some whaco rag head dude I guess scorpions are in too! 😯
Thread jacking over. 😳
From experience …anything with fibers such as felt , scotchbrite or tampons ect. will eventually shred and cause erratic shots or clipping. I have had some luck with window screen wrapped around a spring until it is tight in the frame. with washers between them. Listen to these people that have lots of post and you will learn and save yourself a lot of aggravation.
by the way welcome
snakes are gone as far as i can tell puttin new floor down in camp bed room now and be stayin in it soon
just picked up a kick ass wood stove for it this week
by the way
lol

now hijack away
That’s what she said. Then I tried it with purple silk and gorilla glue and it worked better.
popper-
how’s the snake eradication going?
SAW
i hear hot gluing cotton balls wraped in pink silk stuffed in there works fuckin awesome
mmmmmmghhhhh-
possibly a FNG 😛 😛 😛 😛 😛 😛 😛
Don’t mess with the blue jay, my newbie troll 😯
Falls chir jagear, or whatevever.
Just go with the flow and read and learn, and do not, I repeat do not come in and try and toss us around.
Not a good idea, the TAG is not your ordinary posting place, you see there is no rules here, just a group of great folks that share their ideas, nothing more or nothing less.
And if ya decide to be a troll, well make sure your addy is not avail. 😛 😛 😛 😛 😛 😛 😛 😛 😛 😛 😛

I’m not talking out my ass, and no I haven’t tried it, you just have to have enough brain sells to know that the air presser coming out of the muzzle will fuck you up 😉
come Shadoh, I was under the impression that you were some what smart with a brain on your shoulders, I may need to rethink that
