Making a carbon fiber moderator for the BSA R12

Hi guys in this one we make the matching moderator for the BSA R12, in our last video we made the shroud so this one finishes off the combo.
These mods are for sub 12lb/ft rifles only. I don't make them to sell they are for my own rifles ONLY!

[@waynewardle1928]

What a beautiful job, and what a massive difference..superb work!!.. love it.

[@sub12airgunners]

Thank you very much 👍

[@Tim_Bassett]

Another cracking video which shows how much work goes into a shroud and mod. You can clearly hear the sound difference it makes, even with auto levelling. Anyone wondering why custom parts cost what they do just need to watch this video. I'm always in awe of the machining skills. Outstanding.

[@sub12airgunners]

Thanks Tim 😀

[@krisdabrowski7482]

You’ve turned a nice looking gun into a piece of art and what’s more a nice shooting rifle. Always a pleasure watching what you do and seeing the end result. Thank you for sharing 👍

Top quality work Jake as ever mate shroud looks stunning in the flesh and sounds much better as well.I quite like the un anodised ends it matched the mesh.

[@yvessehnaoui3532]

Your work is perfection. Beautiful and simple, clear videos that are very instructive and inspiring. I wish you can do a complete video on best techniques and tools to crown a blank airgun barrel, LW or CZ, and also FX liners that are quite challenging due to their soft steel and thin walls. Would love to see how u would perfectly crown these either 11 or 45 degrees, and which one would give better accuracy. Also would be great to have a video on how to polish the bores, grooves, lands, valleys, from a factory finish to a mirror like bore that will have no tool marks and foul much less specially at high power settings using heavy slugs that foul a lot more than pellets. Hopefully you would do that video soon :) Keep up your great work !!!! Thank you

Good cheap source of fine mesh I found was a grease splatter screen from the kitchen section at the store - the type you cover a pan with when you are frying bacon.

[@sub12airgunners]

Great tip thank you

[@tomthompson7400]

wow ,, s usual thats smart work.

[@sub12airgunners]

thank you 😀😀

[@three-phase562]

Another great design with a very pleasing look even before the aluminium is anodised. If you haven't found any suitable mesh yet, you could try and contact a filter manufacturer. Companies such as Croft Filters in Warrington do manufacture them, so you may get lucky with an offcut.

[@sub12airgunners]

thanks for watching and the tip 👍

[@paultowns9880]

Superb work as always. Sounds a lot quieter than standard and is a thing of beauty. Have you ever considered designing making your own pcp. It would make a fantastic video series. Take care.

[@sub12airgunners]

thank you for watching 😁 it on the list to do so there will be one at some point

[@stephenwallace2423]

Absolutely lovely! With regards to the anodising, maybe just clearcoat? I think the silver cap and taper match the steel mesh nicely. I wish I had even a fraction of your machining skill (and some of your tools! 😉)

[@sub12airgunners]

thank you 👍 i think because i work with raw aluminum a lot it never looks finished until it has a colour on to me, but i do see what you mean 😀

absolutely awesome my friend . just gives that gun a more classy look in my opinion. definitely know what you mean about the mesh think it would look a little better with a finer mesh in there like on my hugget silencer that has a fine mesh and looks very nice . as per usual outstanding machine work and it certainly comes across as something you enjoy doing 👍

Love watching these videos and have just watched both parts over on Airgun101. Have you ever experimented with an air-stripper within a moderator?

[@sub12airgunners]

we have had a bit of a play with the stripper in the mod but not enough to say good or bad, it worked on the one in my FX crown but that mod on my Redwolf was terrible

[@samuraidriver4x4]

That is looking very good. Personally i do like the look of the bare aluminium, it combines great with the mesh. Watch out when milling carbon fiber and brushing the chips away with your finger, carbon can have nasty long sharp splinters and dont ask me how i know😂😂
