I bought a blunderbuss a few months ago for my color packer(i mainly do b&g)but it seemed to be awesome. i pulled it out the other day and noticed it to be extremely loud. it sounded louder than my work partners coil. it dont sound loud without the tube and needle just when its set u p. Is this normal? Cause i switched to rotaries for the light weight and quitness. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Maybe you've got some harmonics going on with the tubes you are using, are they hard plastic disposables?

no, i use steel.Its crazy,i guess im use to hearing my swashdrives all the time and switching to the blunderbuss there is a noticeable difference but it runs good though.I to get some #8 rubberbands as Cary suggest cause we dont have any laying around.

My blunderbuss is as quiet as a bishop. Silent. Not sure what the problem would be though. Id ask tattooed pirate.

i noticed my Rapier 2's are a tad loud..but i think its the harmonics from the the disposable tubes...i put a lil oil from my dragonfly in the slider..that quietened right up.
