[QUOTE="jon.henry755, post: 499790, member: 29115"] Hi OkieBowie, Please keep in mind that a normal TAC15 does not have the Hammer Block Pin across the frame, above the trigger assembly. That is one of the differences between the TAC15i and the TAC15. An AR15 is completely open above the trigger assembly, so I'm not sure what the hammer hits when the trigger is pulled, because I don't have one, so I can't examine that function. Keep in mind that the TAC15i is a suedo AR15 Frame. It can't be converted to ever support an AR15 Upper Unit, since there's no place to insert a clip, the frame is slightly different and even the Buttstock unit is not the same. This becomes more evident when you go to replace the Buttstock Tube and remove the lock ring and locking ring nut. On most AR15's these pieces require heating due to the "Lock Tight" thread cement used at the factory during assembly. PSE uses no cement at all, so these pieces remove with very little pressure and normal channel locks do the job easily. Also on the AR15's I believe you have some type of a seal or gasket between the upper and lower units that can allow for some movement and noise. The TAC15i uses 6 set screws (3 on each side of the frame to secure the upper and lower units. There are no seals and there is absolutely no slack, movement or noise from this area of the crossbow. The steel frame pin that I originally mentioned on the TAC15i is a uni-directional pin. It can only be removed using a punch and banging the pin out from the side the safety switch is on and tapping it out through the other side. It must be reinserted the opposite way. Beside this major noise producer, using a good set of Crossbow Limb Savers or Bow Jacks Limb Savers or similar product made for split limb crossbows should take care of any sounds or vibrations coming from the limbs. A set of string leeches and a bolt dampener should complete the silencing components needed. I would be very interested in anybody that can come up with any additional elements on the TAC15i they can identify that might be producing any noise? I'm not inferring that there aren't any, I'm stating that these are the ones that I new about when I was working on mine and it is 85 to 90 per cent quieter than when I started. I'd love to find a way to remove the remainder of sound produced. Jon [/QUOTE]
