The shims should be dished and flat and Ive never seen a 'Sport with a leather piston seal.

Phone Dave on his landline between 9am and 5pm weekdays, he is still tuning but has a habit of not reading e-mails and forum posts. He doesn't market the kits he designed, but will tell you who does his kits now.Originally Posted by hollow-point
If you want your FWB's to operate at optimum, get them to Dave, best in the business with springers in my opinion!
You will find his tel.no. on his web page. Shotmastertuning.co.uk

Having just put a Maccari kit in mine it has transformed it. The standard spring has hellish preload & accompanying recoil, its now much smoother.

Maccari kits rock (buy a pot of the tar and lube at the same time). Sports are on the whole are easy to work on (spring compressor aside) and not too much to do. Don't know his work but I'm sure Dave will do a lovely job. Either way worth doing and then you will have a lovely smooth machine.
Woodwork wise I've yet to see a stripped stock done well. I'm sure there is a way and would be interested if anyone has made one look really good. After market ones can be found but are quite expensive compared to the rifle.
The steel holds a lovely blue and can be revived as good as new with a reblue.
Triggers vary a bit and can be improve a little but need someone who knows what they are doing and not every one does. I've never had a really bad one and after a good clean and relube have always come out fine.
Enjoy.
