[QUOTE="OkieBowie, post: 421388, member: 26507"] I didn't try moleskin, but I did try covering the hammer stop pin with thick heat shrink and a nylon bushing, along with using a modified (carved) nylon screw as a in-line hammer stop. The heat shrink got sliced by the impact and the nylon bushing didn't seem to reduce the noise. The carved nylon screw did help, and resulted in a 6 db drop. Since my TAC 15 has the integrated lower, I am wondering if the Hammer spring could be reduced in strength, the Hammer itself be lightened, and still hit the Loop latch with enough force to reliably release the string. With less Hammer weight and spring strength, the Hammer impacting the Hammer stop pin should be quieter. With some padding, the sound level might be reduced even more. More experimenting needs to be done. [/QUOTE]
