Has anyone moderated a standard GSG5 by getting the barrel chopped, threaded, and a moderator permanently attached to keep the overall length within S1 but as short as possible?

If so - what moderator did you use and were there any problem with doing it or with the FEO?

Any answers much appreciated!

Yep, Swift Precision Rifles. I didn't have mine done, but have seen a couple. SAK seemed the mod of choice. Looked fine, but didn't see/hear them fired.

Thanks Sim

Have just had my smith 15-22 cut down to 13" and going to use a Whildcat Whisper over barrel mod to keep it as short as possible although it won't be permanently attached

Foregive me for being stupid, but if a moderator is permanently attached to the rifle in order for the gun to comply with the 12/24 regs, how do you clean it? (The moderator that is, not the barrel)

I have a DM80S4RF on my 15-22, does an excellent job

Thanks again everyone

Re Cleaning - jazzyj - maybe I'm now laying myself open to some air sucking through teeth noises but I just squirt alot of Action Blaster down the moderator and alot of black stuff comes out.....can still do this when attached to barrel.

ooh blimey, think the only smiley that matches my mug right now is this guy;
wtfwtf

with the amount of crug a moderator must capture, a proper strip n clean out would be the best way to do it.

surely there's a moderator available that has the front unscrew to allow the baffles to be taken out without the need to take the moderator off the barrel?

i thought moderators can cause groupings to grow too....

jazzyj SAK moderators are ideal for this. The monocore stays attached to the barrel and the outer sleeve slides off.
