Rimfire moderator

branchman

I have a rimfire moderator for sale, think it's a Parker Hale but not sure.
It has a few scratches but it's a good mod! It was on my 17 HMR and it's also been used on my .22 CZ.
I will take 30 euros for it plus postage.

Does this make any real difference on the .17HMR?

I am located in Ballyhaunis, Co Mayo, but can post it quite cheaply.
I've tried it on a 17 HMR and it gets rid of the crack off the round going off, but of course not the supersonic bang of the round. But it is great for the .22 with subs, you can hardley hear the round going off!

At last here is a picture of the mod I have for sale.

I took it to the RFD and he had it done for me, made a decent job although it cost 80 euros!! It has to be done properly but I found out later that it was an engineer who did it. So you can always ask someone.

Someone who is very good at using a lathe can do it. They have to be sure that the barrel is spinning centered on the lathe and that they use the right threading to match the mod you are going to be putting on it.

I wouldn't say you'd have to be very good, just good enough to use a lathe and having the lathe is handy too
edit, wish I saw this a week ago, I ordered one new. I wouldnt mind but any secondhand ones i saw were priced such that it was worth just getting a new one, until now

wel you want to make sure its done proper and it fits well, you dont want it to be crooked and the bullet deflecting off the inside of the mod, which has happened before.

agreed, its either true or its not

i was down in my local gun shop and heard of a guy with that very thinking you just had. so he handed in his gun into his local machine shop. along with his new t8 mod. he was saveing €40 getting him to do it. happy days untill he went to test fire the new set up.
fired one shot thru the gun and he just put a big hole in the mod and stripped the threads on the barrel. the guy never centred the barrel just cut the thread on it. and he never got any money back for the dodgy work ur man done.
so he had to go back to a gun smith and get it done propely and buy a new t8. so it cost him alot of extra money just for the sake of saveing €40.
so what im saying is go to a gun smith and get it done prop and not done by ur local machine shop. ur putting lifes at risk by not doing a right job on it!!!!!
