Vented Shroud to Reduce Noise

[Supercharged86]

Hey TJ, You might have something there, but will the minimal clearance between the baffle and shroud wall (only about .012" total) be enough without causing a restriction? Interesting none the less. Cheers. Steve

It don't sound like much, but if you keep in mind that:
1. Its round
2. it's long
I haven't completely figured out the total volume of air that space can hold, But It does seem to help.

The next step is to add a few baffles inside of the baffles.....Sounds confusing doesn't it?

I'll get photos up soon as I finish the inside baffles

Not Really



The trick seems to be the right combination of baffle sizes to remove different harmonics. I ended up going with 3 regular baffles and 3 with an additiitonal "baffle" added. When I have the time I intend to try varied and multiple spacings within.

Well After sending my wife outside last night after dark to do some testing, I fired 3 shots into the the woods, (about 200 yards away) I wanted no target impact noise. Then I fired 3 shots in to a pumpkin about 35 yds away. My wife said that the loudest part was the target impact, and a small twank sound?????? OK so after a glass of wine, I'm now trying to figure out a way to get rid of the loudest part of my gun........


The hammer spring! That is the twank sound I believe she is hearing. I had her standing about 20 yards left and 5 yards in front of the muzzle. If it's quite at that distance I'm HAPPY

How good is that??!!

Funny but that's virtually the same test that I did with my son assisting. I had him shoot so that I could hear for myself and not have to decipher his interpetation. Taking out the impact noise while testing is important. My remaining problem is the "Thump" sound of a Kodiak hitting a tree rat!!!!

I feel that the sound isn't discernable as a "shot". I figure if it's that quiet in the still of the night then with the daytime ambient noise level the minimal report (twang) easily blends in.

Enjoy!!

I'm working on the hammer spring Mod now I'll let every one know how it works .....If it works
