slipover moderator

[Dellboy]

I have a 22 Anshutz target rifle which currently has a scope and bi-pod fitted ,what i was wondering is can you purchase a moderator which would fit on the end of the barrel (ie slip over) instead of having it screw cut

[Swamp Donkey]

You may find an air rifle one that will do that, obviously would need to be added to your fac though.

Doubtful. ..never seen any such non-threaded units outside of the 1939 Parker Hale catalogue

You'll need to have an adaptor made up that clamps to the barrel and allows use of a threaded mod

You can get adapters that allow mods to attach to un-threaded air rifle barrels .. There might be a rimfire version ..

Aren't they called "Jubilee clips" ?

Something I wouldn't even consider with a rimfire. If you want a moderator on your rifle do it properly and get the barrel threaded by someone who knows what they are doing and not by a Fred in the shed type.
(Ovenpaa and the Shooting Shed are different).

Absolutely. The moderator adaptors for airguns that attach with a couple of grubscrews cause enough trouble at 12 fpe, so I dread to think what havoc they would cause at 100+ fpe!

Do it properly, and get the barrel threaded. By the way, some police forces don't allow moderators for target shooting - even quoting 'health and safety' as a reason for wanting one falls on deaf ears.

"deaf ears" ... !!
