See I'm in two minds; I thought it would be quieter too but I've heard that's a myth? Is it just a wasp piston/an airbrake making it quiet?
Really tempting; I'd like the 16" Covert, a wasp piston, (looks like a) fast hop (until Maple or similar release one). Bucking and barrel I guess, certainly a bucking would be prefereable - unless the stock one is good (?) and the barrel can wait.
I know I'll end up buckling and getting one anyway, the seed is planted now. Just a case of waiting for it to sprout. lol
