Glad you got through to them....I ordered some baffles from them the other day for my .22, and goofed...should have ordered 4.....I drilled two and put them in my .25....to hush it down some more.....I turned a Delrin spacer the same diameter of the shroud, and the same length as 2 baffles (.270), and moved the shroud forward, with two additional baffles and the spacer takes up the space and is hard to distinguish from the original shroud....it made the .25 MUCH quieter...on the order of the .22....
But, I should have ordered 4 .22 baffles, because I'm going to put my longer LW barrel (.270 longer) I got from Greg Davis back in the gun, and move the shroud forward on it too, to keep it at the same quiet level....and see how the LW barrel runs.....I doubt it will outshoot the Crosman barrel though....one can only get 'so' accurate.....sub-MOA at 50yds is tough to beat, and that's what the Crosman (prepped by me) barrel will do....but, with the .270 longer barrel, I should get a bump in FPS, and a little more tunability to go along with the GD air-tube extension.....I'm actually expecting to get around 60 shots per fill at 950fps with no poi shift at 35yds.....with the stock tube, I'm getting 37 shots at 50yds, 48 shots at 35yds, and 57 shots at 25yds without POI shift.....
I have to say though, I've got about 10 hours, gobs of pellets and air into fine-tuning this gun....and now I have the .25 to play with.....astonishingly accurate right out of the box....can't wait for the air tube extension and getting to play with this gun some more!
Welcome to our madness!
