Oh Lords of the shrouds……
Frame Extender (Talon SS/18″ barrel) arrived today. Pretty nice. Guess I was expecting to have to use the original end-cap from the SS. Not so!The end-cap is one with the unit.
The extender fits inside the shroud of the SS.
So what would spacers and baffels have to be down-sized to? I don’t own a caliper, and I’m as good at measuring, as I am at cutting….hence…. the “stubby”…………
Secondly, how much space do I have to fill between the end of the barrel, and the end of the shroud? Translated, I think that means, how can I be sure that I’ve added enough spacers/baffels to occupy the space from the barrel’s end…….to the frame extenders end cap?
The frame extender comes from Bull’s Eye Bill. Good product……a little slow on delivery.
Thanks! 😀

Heres what I did in my TSS. There is only about an inch from the end of the barrel to the first baffle.
I vented my bushing since I had to pull the barrel out anyway to remove the cones. They are a snug fit and dont just fall out.
I also vented the frame in the space between the two bushings. Just as much air comes out of these holes as it does out of the endcap. If I cover them with my hand there is a noticeable increase in overall sound.
This worked out really well. In fact, I normally shoot out of my garage into a target. The other day I took it to work and was showing it off to the guys. I cocked it and pulled the trigger and all I really heard was the hammer slap. I thought to myself “dammit, something is screwed up on the day I want to show the guys at work”. Normally in the garage I hear allot more but I guess it is just the echo effect. I really thought it was having a problem so I loaded up a pellet and shot it a few times, everything was normal ). The guys at the shop were really impressed and we spent about an hour goofing off shooting everything they could find in the shop that wouldnt be missed. Half full spray paint cans are pretty fun to shoot.
