98 snake eater, can you say it sounds quieter after the tune? Judging solely by your videos, I think it does sound a bit quieter, but without handling the unit myself or being there I can't say for sure (since there are so many variables to recording).

Well, the entire cocking action is much smoother with no spring twang or any sound of sliding metal for that matter, so yes, it's quieter in that aspect...
Even the safety has a nice rubbery feel, unlike the usual "clack" (see my pre-tune videos for a comparision)
As for shooting, even though the spring recoil feels more dampened, it actually seems a little louder at the muzzle....
However, I think that has more to do with the oils used during the tune (CDT's spec sheet actually states it will be louder during break-in)
PBA's sound incredibly LOUD!!
To me, they sound even louder now than when the gun was new (I think my neighbor got whiplash when I fired one off today)
I've only put about 150 pellets through her so far, but she feels great
The best bit is that she's so much more consistent
Pre-tune, she'd start off with high velocity and settle down after about 50 shots...
Post tune, the velocity stays the same from cold bore to 75+ shots back to back
