With the goal being a quieter zniper set up,
I tried a variety of cushioning materials.
The best was an Air Gap as discussed. Easiest to maintain too. Then only the ram bottoming out going forward and backwards makes noise.
Well, not quite. There are LOTS of noise sources from the back block area. In order of priority as a NOISE Source:
1. Back block slapping the receiver.
2. The clearance tolerances of the back block-pin-bolt assembly that is rattling away....
The ram connecting rod pushes and pulls the back block from the side - essentially trying to turn it back and forth sideways. Clackita, Clackita, Clackita.
3. The impact of the back block against the cocking rod.
4. Plus the connecting rod from the ram rattling inside the grove in the receiver body. Notice that worn finnish inside the grove about 1-2 inches from the back.
I have inexpensive solutions for all of these written up as a Word Document.
Send me an E mail and I will send it to you.
