3 Legged Thing

Reservoir Mods XL – Precision Airgun Moderators

Regular price £8999 GBP

The Reservoir Mod is a compact, modular airgun moderator engineered to do one thing exceptionally well: reduce muzzle noise without compromising accuracy.

Designed and built by 3 Legged Thing, Reservoir Mods use a carefully tuned multi-chamber system to manage airflow, strip excess pressure, and quiet the shot at the source. The result is a cleaner report, tighter follow-through, and a more controlled shooting experience.

Available in two profile styles and two lengths, every Reservoir Mod delivers the same internal performance — the choice is simply how it looks and how much volume you want.

Description

Two Profiles. Same Performance.

Wavy Profile (RSV1)
A flowing, organic exterior with subtle contouring. RSV1 offers a softer visual language while retaining the same internal geometry and suppression performance as RSV2.

Chamfered Profile(RSV2)
A sharper, faceted design with clean chamfers and a more technical aesthetic. RSV2 is visually bold but mechanically identical inside.

Profile choice is purely about looks and feel — performance remains unchanged.


XL design for precision and ultimate quiet:

  • 8-chamber modular design
  • 20.2 cm (7.95") length
  • 36 mm (1.4") diameter
  • Internal volume: 95 ml
  • Increased airflow management for maximum suppression
  • The XL versions offer greater internal volume for shooters who want the quietest possible report, while the standard models prioritise balance and handling.

Why choose Reservoir Mods?

Because effective sound suppression isn’t about brute size — it’s about controlling air intelligently. Reservoir Mods are tuned to manage pressure smoothly, reducing sharp crack without over-damping the system or upsetting the rifle.

Quiet. Controlled. Deliberate.

THE SCIENCE OF SILENCE

CHAMBER SUPPRESSION ARCHITECTURE - ENGINEERING DIAGRAMS

RESERVOIR MODS XL 8-CHAMBER DIAGRAM

STAGE 01 - ENTRY & FIRST EXPANSION

High-pressure gas enters immediately behind the projectile. The bore opens into a precision-calculated volume, triggered the first and largest pressure drop.

STAGE 02-07 SEQUENTIAL VORTEX

Air expands and vortexes within each successive chamber. Compressed wool gaskets strip residual energy between every stage - natural, dense, acoustically selected.

STAGE 08 - FINAL ATTENUATION

By the 8th chamber pressure is reduced to near-ambient.The exit report is a fraction of the original muzzle energy - clean and controlled.

STAGE 09 - UNDISTURBED FLIGHT - BY DESIGN

The projectile leaves the bore ahead of the propellant gas. By the time that gas is vortexing through the chambers, the pellet is already in free flight — completely clear of the turbulence. The Mod manages the report. It never touches the trajectory.

Chamber Absorption Technology

THE MATERIAL
THAT DOES THE
REAL WORK

Every chamber in the Reservoir Mod contains a precision-cut wool/polyester gasket disc. They are not packing material. They are not incidental. At 277 kg/m³ — nearly four times the density of high-performance acoustic panels — they are one of the most deliberately specified components in the system.

8 gaskets per XL unit
≥500Hz peak absorption band

The Density Advantage

Standard acoustic fibrous materials operate at densities between 8 and 80 kg/m³. The Reservoir Mods gasket discs are specified at 277 kg/m³ — a figure that places them in an entirely different performance regime.

At this density, the resistance to airflow through the gasket matrix is extremely high. Energy that cannot move freely is converted to heat. That conversion is the mechanism of attenuation.

The Blend

Wool and polyester contribute different physical properties to the same task. Wool fibre has a natural crimp that creates a highly tortuous internal structure. Polyester adds dimensional stability, ensuring each gasket holds its geometry under repeated cycles without compacting or shifting.

The result is a gasket that performs consistently across the service life of the product, not just when new.

Wool fibres perform most effectively at densities above 500 Hz — the frequency range where surface friction increases and more energy is dissipated as heat per unit of material.

The mechanism is viscous friction. As flow moves through the gasket matrix, vibrating molecules rub against the irregular interstices of the fibre network. That motion converts energy into thermal energy.

Mechanism: ISO 9053 / Delany–Bazley model for fibrous porous materials

Three mechanisms. One gasket.

01
Viscous Friction

Flow forced through the fibre matrix loses kinetic energy to viscous drag.

02
Tortuosity

Wool's natural crimp creates a structurally complex internal path that lengthens the effective route and multiplies opportunities for energy dissipation.

03
Thermal Conversion

The cumulative result of friction and tortuosity is heat: energy is progressively converted and dissipated into the gasket mass.

Performance is often discussed in terms of chamber count or overall volume. Those are meaningful numbers — but the material inside the chambers determines how much work each stage does.

A low-density gasket passes flow relatively freely. A high-density gasket forces that flow to surrender energy before it exits each chamber. At 277 kg/m³, this disc is specified to extract maximum attenuation at every stage.

Haven't really had the chance to put it to the test as of yet. Have shot 20 shots through it. It is whisper quiet, looks amazing on my Wolverine and build quality is very good. Also it didn't alter my zero. Would definitely reccomend.

Fantastic build quality, first class machining. Not as quiet as standard Weihrauch mods which was a bit disappointing for the price. But they look great.

It works exceptionally well on a Barra 250z doing 920 with 25gr. Pellets. I intend to use it with the new Northtac Qilin BP-X 28” Bullpup doing about the same fps with 34gr pellets. Thanks for an excellent product.

Super quiet. 2 dB less than an Impulse Air and 4 dB less than a Fox tune. Too bad taxes and shipping added 45%.

Excellent mod, even looks nice; equally as quiet as the weihrauch, using it on my favourite gun and its whisper quiet 10/10

Brilliant moderator. Brought two thinking if i added a couple of baffles it would help with more noise reduction . Didn't make any difference. But still very quiet and extremely accurate. And a thing of beauty to the eye

Well made and so so quiet!

The back that it can be lengthened or shortened to suit individual needs is as far as I’m aware the only moderator that offers this

Brilliant!

Great product its hard to tell yours from the one i have on my other rifle and that one was twice the price so thanks

Its a great looking mod and beautifully finished.
One of the quietest mods I have tried on a sub12 air rifle.
Being modular means you can add and remove sections to get the perfect tune.
Now they just need to make one thats wider, around 35mm would be great.

Mike G.
1/2" UNF / Black / Wavy

Super quality. Love the way I can add/remove sections to fine tune my rifle; with one section removed it is the most accurate moderator I have used on my Anschutz 9015 and it is still whisper quiet.
Look forward to trying it out on my Daystate Red, Black and Alpha wolves. You were right; it was well worth the wait while you battled the supply chain issues.
Congratulations guys, this one is a gem!

Well made and does what it says on the box.
Think my rifle is marginally more accurate with the moderator on.
Need to do lots more testing yet though, only used once.

Beautifully made, fits well and is very quiet. Unfortunately it opened up the groups on my TM1000 so I’ve gone back to the Air Stripper, but the Mods XL will be used on my other rifles!
