- You may have seen these "fuel filters / solvent traps" advertised on Instagram, TH-cam, or Facebook...... is that their actual intended purpose? I'm not so sure............ so let's see if they'll make a good airgun silencer!

Would have been nice if you would have recorded the shots so we could hear it.
I did try to record the sound but it didn't come across well on the phone speaker. I will be doing an episode 2 with another "fuel filter" I've ordered which is a wider diameter, larger internal volume, so in theory will be quieter. I'll see if I can get some better sound recording equipment to pic up the differences.
Well pal I'm very surprised what a fantastic little silencer will be good to see how it works out in the field when your doing pest control 👍🏻thanks for sharing dan keep up the great work
Yes mate, very impressed, just ordered 2 more the same, but without the need for the unf thread adapter, and another, also 6" long but 1.5" wide instead of 1" wide, which in theory should be even more quiet! I will of course be testing and making a video 🙂
I tried one of these on my airgun and found that a dollar store hair curler wrapped with microfiber cloth replacing most of the baffles made it even quieter.
Thanks for the comment, I know what you mean, I have the hair curler mod in the original shroud of my Artemis P15 and that is quieter than with the standard baffles. Great thing about these cheap silencers is that you can experiment with different internal to fine tune them...... if you're into that sort of thing ☺️
Really interesting. I wonder if the accuracy is still there too with these things. Thanks for sharing, bud 🙂
Hey, thanks for watching. After testing this a few times now, I can safely say the accuracy was unchanged between using the fuel filter compared to the swift stumpy 👍
You just have to be careful when you drill the baffles anyway they are all punched in the center to help and avoid mistakes.
Forget the expensive Donnie Fl airgun suppressors, solvent trappers work better for only a few bucks.
Great video I was looking for those solvent traps for ages and they were all around 25 bucks or more this one is the only one cheaper. Also have the same discovery scope great value for airgunning on a budget.
*ATF visited me over my Aliexpress order of a Chine Uh Solvent trap!*
Link is broken.
Does this still exist ???
Can find kind of the same but not with exit hole plus the things inside.
If someone can help that would be nice 🙏
Stateside chaps call these little novelties "honey pots". Our less understanding government overlords call them restricted devices with similar possession penalties as your non fac airguns without a permit.
Thanks for watching my channel. Nice video. I will be watching in the future.
Thanks Aaron
I have plenty of those solvent traps even some that are more sophisticated , you'll find out. I also made experiences and got even better results with long ones, replacing a pair of baffles by synthetic hard foam. a bit inspired by the way Hatsan realised its Quiet Edition with integrated silencers.
Results are so good that you wonder how you could make the hammer of your gun any quieter.
That's right the paint job isn't the best but you also can find the same raw alloy version and find a good paint to make it your way.
Thanks for the feedback buddy. I know what you mean, the hammer is the loudest part of this NP-03 now!
I’m not gonna say who charges what, but I own a couple of air rifles and although they’re quiet, I wanted then quieter. So I start the search and with the adapter for each gun + 2 moderators for the rifles I was looking at over $600.00 depending on the company. Bought two of these and even with the adapters I was at about $120. Damn near mouse fart quiet. EXCELLENT for air rifles.
Totally agree dude, I'm glad they worked for your rifles. I've just had another delivered, same length of 6" but with a 1.5" diameter instead of 1". I'll be testing that to see if it is any quieter, in theory it should be.
Need to try AMC Twink silencer have the titch (£40) smallest they do on my NP02 and it's clearly quieter than the HW xlk (£97) can safely say out of the 6 different silencer I use they are the most efficient and best money by far!
Struggling to find them for sale now 😢
Gggmmmm...its not a fuel filter - its a "solvent trap"🤣🤣🤣
3dB is double the power, 6dB is double the amplitude and 10dB is /about/ double the perceived loudness. The latter is not linear because human hearing is not linear - the louder noise is the more dB we need to perceive the next level as twice as loud. For comparison a rock band plays at about 95dB to 120dB, probably dropping to below 85dB and maybe hitting 135dB which is painful.
Thanks for the science bit 👍
I've got two. They're great. Just as good, if not better than some of the expensive ones out there.
Totally agree dude 👍👍
Nice little video as the manufacturer of the swift silencer I must point out that the exit hole in ours is 7 mm so not really a true comparison but for seven quid you can’t really compete that’s why I no longer manufacture the swift moderator anymore because I cannot compete with Chinese manufacturing that’s why my child goes hungry
Thanks for the comment, don't get me wrong, I love the Swift Stumpy, I was looking around to purchase another, but couldn't find them in stock anywhere, I now know why! So nothing against the Swift Stumpy, it was just the only silencer at hand to do the comparison against.
Great video, been looking to get one of these but can’t seem to find one with a half inch unf thread on so far. Can you point me in the right direction please? Is 1/2 inch UNF the same as 1/2inch 20 do you know? Thanks!
Hey, none of the ones with the usual baffle configuration come with a 1/2 inch UNF thread as standard, you have to purchase one with a 5/8-24 thread and then choose the 1/2-20 thread adapter. If you follow this link (if it works) it'll take you to the one in this video, you can then choose the 4th option along which adds the correct adapter. www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001869888468.html
@@k.s.airguns-airgunpestcont4680 thanks for your swift reply. So if I get that one I can discard the the 5/8 24 part and just replace it with the 1/2 20? (The part that screws on the barrel).
@@OCDfish no dude, the adapter is just used to reduce the thread on the one end cap that screws onto the rifle, unfortunately it is not a replacement end. I was looking around for one that you didn't need an adapter for, but can't find one anywhere.
@@k.s.airguns-airgunpestcont4680 thanks. I’ve just watched the video again and it all makes sense now!
@@OCDfish cool, god bless TH-cam 😉
WOW!!! I just bought an NP03. This is something I'll get. Do you surmise a larger one would be even quieter?
Sorry for the late reply. I did test the wider diameter one but it made no difference, it was no quieter on the sub 12 ft lb rifle. It might make a difference on FAC rifles where more air is thrown out so the larger baffles can accommodate that extra air...... maybe.
Thanks for this mate just orded a couple, Cheers
Glad you found it useful mate 👍
This oil filter is good its very cheap on aliexpress 😁😁
I was impressed with it.
Its fuel filter not oil one haha. And its nice to sell them with a hose (suppose for the fuel) on aliexpress :D
Damned if I can find this adapter. Can you share a link? Been looking for days...
I know the rifle threads are 1/2x20 (UNF), I have 24mm (15/16) x 20tpi for the trap. Still looking... 🤣👍
Hi, just watched this video but link to trap doesnt seem to find item ? Any idea where I can source one please ? Cheers, Gerry.
The swift stumpy was originally designed for 22lr
So, it's not going to perform as well on a .177 or .22 air rifle
This may be true, but they are for sale in the UK are air rifle silencers, and it was the only thing I had to hand to compare with. Still, it proved the point.
@K.S.Airguns - Airgun Pest Control I'm not slating the silencer, I have one 😉
I stopped buying supressors as soon as I descovered those and I am also sure they are better silencers than solvent traps.
Agreed, they make pretty rubbish solvent traps 😂, I don't think I'll be buying another off the shelf silencer ever again!
hello again my friend I wanna ask if you tried another designs of this filters? I have seen various design of the interior but not sure if it works better or its the same result and another question this filter fits in all Kral Puncher models? thanks in advance
Hi, I've only ever tried two types of design myself, baffles or cones, like in the video, and one I refer to as the "hair curler" mod, where all the baffles are removed and replaced by a tube of low density foam. I find the baffles are quieter, but the foam can be made to fit any length of silencer or shroud if you're not happy with how effective it is, or even if you want to change the tone of the sound coming from the silencer or shroud.
@@k.s.airguns-airgunpestcont4680 thank you very much again for the answer and I forgot to ask do you use any adapter to install the filter in your kral or just put it in like it comes?
@@hectormanuelmh Hi, yes, you need an adaptor, if you check the video notes there's a piece on what size adapter you need.
Yes i also bought one of these and they do work well , i will look at the bigger sizes and see if they are good also !
Hi Edgar, spoiler alert...... I tried the next size up, same length but 1.5 in diameter, and it was no quieter, in fact, it was 1db louder!?
Like it, looking forward to hearing it when we next meet up 👍👍
or not hearing it ;-)
And where is vid with all 3 (or 2 + no silencer) in action?
I didn't have an extra phone clamp to film it, but as you probably know, the difference in the sound rarely gets picked up properly on a videos. I will try to get some songs footage and groupings when I can get to the range. At the 10m distance I was able to shoot though, there was no change in the POI between the Swift Stumpy and the Solvent Trap.
Always nice to save a few 'bob'😁👍👍👍👍👍😎
Indeed it is mate
Very nice alternative for a suppresor, one questions this results are in max power?
Hi, thanks for the comment, it was max power for this rifle, but UK legal sub 12 ft lb. This rifle was producing 11.8 ft lb.
@@k.s.airguns-airgunpestcont4680 thank you for the answer my friend
Good Silencer 👍👍👍
Very impressed so far, more testing to come.

really you couldn't Prop your phone up and do the test so we can watch to I don't believe those numbers are correct you can say anything
Haha, thanks for the feedback. But why would I make this up, I have no affiliation with the Chinese seller of this product. Watch my other reviews, I tell it how it is! If you don't believe me, spend £8 and see for yourself. Thanks again.
@@k.s.airguns-airgunpestcont4680 no that's ok people are getting in trouble in America buying these things online
SORRY OUT OF STOCK
😟
Absolutely outstanding video!
Thanks very much
Purchased one of these recently after watching your video, followed your instructions and all I can say is Wow,
fitted it to My A.A S 200 which had a sound like a .22 rim fire without a silencer, now all you can hear is the click
of the action as the hammer strike the pressure valve, I really couldn't believe the difference.
Thank you very much for this video.
Hi Tony, that's great, I'm glad it helped
Where do you find the adapters to fit the air gun
Hi Wayne, if you follow the link to AliExpress in the description, that product has the option to choose the adaptor you need, the adaptor you need to choose is 1/2 - 20
@@k.s.airguns-airgunpestcont4680 Is the "20" in the 1/2 - 20 measurement the thread count? And if so would a 28 thread count still work? Thinking of getting this for my flashpup .25...
@@serfillustrated4018 @SerfIllustrated hi, sorry, I'm not sure, I just googled the different adapters and find the one that would fit the standard 1/2 inch unf thread. Doesn't a .25 barrel still have the usual 1/2 inch unf thread? If you order a "solvent trap" with a 1/2 - 28, I think you can get a 1/2 - 28 to 1/2 - 20 adapter.
@@k.s.airguns-airgunpestcont4680 I'm not to sure bud. I get my .25 in the mail tomorrow. I was hoping the adapter would let me screw straight into the end of Hatsans QE shroud where the end cap goes. And then the 1/2 side would thread into the "fuel filter".. Hell, for the price i think ill order and try it just for shits and giggles. lol ..Thanks for the help!!
@@k.s.airguns-airgunpestcont4680 NO!!! a 1/2 is an air guns size, which is perfectly legal here in the U.S.. 1/2 x 28 is firearm size and runs afoul of the regulations unless numbered and 200 buck stamp paid for in the U.S. I was given one of these by a L.E.O. and I immediately threaded the 1/2 x 28 to 1/2 x 20. Easy, peasy, no adapter needed. However, it was in my possession for a day before I could get to it. Fortunately the LEO is my next door neighbor and could run interference for me if needed. LOL! the little unit now resides on the PP-700 and does a fine job of hush-hush as I use it late at night for scorpion hunting with a black light and 3 mil green dot reflex sight attached to the PCP Pistol.

can't find it link does not work
🤣🤣🤣🤣made my day....does a np03 need a moderator? A donny fl is only over £100..... if you can’t afford to shoot buy a spud gun....🤣🤣🤣🤣👍
Hi Andy, yes, the NP-03 certainly does need a silencer, the barrel shroud does pretty much nothing. Thanks for sharing your views 😊
😁
Is best to have a hollow tube more room for the noise more quiet
I shall try that configuration with the dB meter, thanks Luis
