I believe it was 70mm when I pulled it, but if it isn’t meant to be bouncing around in there then its short either way and I might as well McMaster a new one

What amazed me was that the pellets were weighted perfectly, no variation at all in weight after swaging. Yet I’m assuming that due to the design/shape of the pellets, there was literally zero accuracy in any gun. I even ordered different swaging assemblies to try and get a longer pellet, but that didn’t do any…Read more

I have 3 of Tony’s tanks. Two on Air Wolf’s and one on a BSA R10. I did mount on briefly on a Talon and while it did reduce weight, it wasnt near as drastic as on the Air Wolf.

My Wolf in .22 gives me 250+ shots on a fill on low power (26fpe)… Even with the slightly less volume and fill pressure, I’m…Read more

Costs a pretty penny for the mold but its well worth it.

Indoors (echo ridden basement) dry-fire db meter five feet behind rifle with 36db background noise(not sure if it matters, but I wrote it down):
113.7db (no shroud)

I’ve only tested a few molds, identical rounds (380gn) sized at 454 and 457 and the 454 seems to be 30-50 fps higher. After three shots of each from 3000psi, the 457s end at 2300psi and the 454s end at 2450psi. Accuracy is pretty much identical with between…Read more

http://www.airgunnation.com/topic/airforce-texan-wrl-shroud-review/

According to the reviewer, the shroud brings the volume down to somewhere around 90db, which is about 20db higher than his mrod.

But I’m pretty sure my mrod is way quieter than that, and my Texan is far louder than 90db. I’ll need to get a dbmeter to…Read more

I ended up getting a Texan with an RL shroud. I don’t have any way to measure the sound but I can say the shroud does bring the volume down quite a bit. The main thing is that it doesn’t sound like a gun at all with the shroud on. There is a rather loud metallic clank as the pellet…Read more

Did you get that shroud on? How much does it bring the report down?
