Spring Gun Tuning

[Paul Hudson]

Teeth jarring at 12 ft/lbs? Well at about 17 ft/lbs, my R1 has a fast bit of kick.

I found the HW80 to be a bit of an enigma

At 17 to 18fpe they're sweet and smooth; at 12fpe they're "tolerable" but unpleasant. At 10.5fpe they become sweet and smooth again, and a genuine pleasure to use. With the lighter, 7.9g pellets, I was getting the same muzzle velocity as with 8.4g pellets at the higher power, so the trajectory and POI was exactly the same.

Have fun with your tinkering

Paul.

Well, thanks for sharing your HW80 experiences Paul.
Much appreciated.
Few in the USA have experience with the lower power levels.

Nothing different on your side of the pond then either...

Let us know how you get on with the 80.

All the best,

Paul.

Just squeezed mine up to 23fpe and it's fantastic, a real self contained FAC air gun with enough power to be worthwhile. Over 900 fps with light pellets and 800fps with 16g.

whats the accuracy / recoil like at that level .

Hello Everyone


Could you please give me some advice. I have bought a second hand TX200HC and decided to fit an AA master service Kit.
I followed the tuning guide found it very easy to strip fit and reassemble the TX. But now it is only doing 7.5 ft lb.

Thanks Tom.

Accuracy is superb and shoots as well as my 77, recoil is solid and mild straight back. More recoil than the 77 but not much and it's not hold sensitive.

you will have more luck with a reply if you start your own thread rather than hijacking someone elses

Sorry If I have upset anyone but I thought this was the Spring Gun Tuning Guide Thread.
