For anyone attempting this with a clone MK23 (ASG and STTI), you will likely have a couple of issues when it comes to disassembly. Firstly, pushing the safety through in order to release the slide is massively stiff and will need a good few whacks to push it through, you’ll have no hope just using your fingers. Secondly, the outer barrel isn’t held on with a screw as it is with the TM MK23 as shown at 4:01. it will likely be held in place with a pin that, again, needs to be whacked out from right to left (when looking at the assembly from the same direction you’d aim). I had to spend ten minutes constantly whacking it with a hammer and a thin-pointed file and was convinced it wasn’t going to budge but eventually it did. Once this is out, the outer barrel will be very hard to pull off, so I wrapped the hop unit and the outer barrel separately with masking tape in order to get some grip on each and pulled, pulled, pulled until they came apart. All in all it’s a horrible job!

So is opened the silencer at the front, took the cap off and the inner barrel out. Then I took the installed spring out out too. I stretched the spring to the length of the silencer and wrapped one layer of 1cm thick foam around the spring and put it back into the silencer hull. Some alignment to the spring and the cap goes back into the hull. Result is very silent and without any loss in accuracy.
