longrangesniper1953 Posted October 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 Hi Guys Thank you very much for the kind comments , I put the flyer shot down to the sound mod coming slightly loose on its screw fixing ( I hope I have fixed this now fingers crossed ! ) , on inspection it looks as though a bullet has slightly grazed inside of the last stainless steel baffle ! Thats how it appears anyway.RegardsSteve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
