Hammer slap?
I attempted Hoot and Demp’s vented shroud method awhile ago but I was never able to squeeze in the scotch brite pad in there. Then yesterday a light bulb went off and I went to the fabric store and got a wooden stick. The diameter the same as the barrel. I wrapped it with steel wool about the same length of the shroud, I then use the wooden stick as a guide for moving the barrel in. The steel wool was so much easier to mold and stayed in it’s shape.
Here is the sound result: http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/donnydu/media/Matador/IMG_5858.mp4.html
To my ears, that’s the best I’ve done. Do you stick think there’s muzzle blast or is that all hammer slap? I am not familiar with what hammer slap alone sounds like. I shot over a lake so no impact noise.

The sharp “impact” noise is, for sure, hammer slap. The rest is muzzle blast and ping. Tried a de-pinger ?? That would take most of that sound out of the equation. Sadly the hammer slap is the hardest noise to get rid off. That´s without making your quality rifle look like crap. H 😯 😯 T did that on his Cricket but at his age he doesn´t care what anything looks like – as long as it serves a purpose. Why he still has his Arkansas Red Snake hanging there is the big question and your quess is as good as mine … 😯
