Need to hush a Gamo

[learingtofishII]

I have a gamo varmint hunter, and I need to quiet down the shots. I have been using it for about one year without any problems, but I have a neighbor who is a pita and has complained about the noise and threaten to call the cops.  Just so you know, I shot in a remote location and over a lake, so the sounds carries a bit.  What do you suggest?   tune up? Muzzle Break?  Full Shroud?

A tune does wonder's for calming down the sound of a shooter since it's the action that makes the most noise.  :0 Ed

Quit shooting over the lake !!!!! lol j/k

a tune is number 1. if you can put a gas ram. it will eliminate the spring noise. also fill the stock with shop rags... it will muffle the action.

A tune...use nylon sleved guides & put a thin
nylon disc between the tophat and piston...

If your neighbor is complaining about the mechanical noise when you shoot then I would venture a guess that he really is a pita. Most all springers with exceptions being the Walther/Hatsan models and a few of the other big magnums, just don't make enough noise that the average person who's not a pita would complain. But if you've been shooting those ultra light pellets (like PBA raptors) that make a super sonic crack like a rimfire rifle then the neighbors might get a little annoyed with that noise. If that's the case switch to a heavier pellet for quieter shooting.Tuning it might make it more pleasureable to shoot but is not a guarantee to quiet it down much. The exception to that would be if you also added a baffled shroud over the barrel.Like Jason said, it's always good if you can make a friend out of an adversary and you might if you try.

I ws thinking of adding a barrel  shroud.  

Also,  some of the noise if from shooting at cans, so I just I will have to stay with paper targets.  Yup, the Neighbor is a reall PITA.. They call him crazy chief,.

Who can do a tune up and also add barrel shroud or muzzel break?

Call Gene Curtis.He knows.

This PITA crowd sure is spreading everywhere. It sure stands for Pain In The A^0^

There's not much you can do with that stock bull barrel on that particular GAMO rifle, being as that it's covered in polymer/plastic material. That being said, you can probably have a tuner cut off the barrel -- retap the barrel housing -- fit on a threaded barrel and recrown it with a MuzzleBrake....however, that'll cost you a bunch. So I would go with either a tune, or a Gas-Ram from PyramydAir....both will end up costing you the same amount, unless you get a good deal somewhere. Good luck!

what about inviting the PITA neighbor for a relaxing plinking session? you think he might become more receptive? maybe talk about setting times in which you can shoot freely and designated,no shooting noise, times?

[Randino]

That's a logical idea, so naturally a member of PETA wouldn't go for it
