hw98 home tuned
hi guys as the title says I have just finished tuning my hw98 It was twanging its bag off from new really badly so I invested in a top hat and spring guide from tinbum from another forum, then did all the usual piston polishing spring ends and trigger sears ,this stopped the boinging but put the gun over 12ftlb so I chopped a coil and got the power down but was not happy it cocked lovley but shot like a wild animal to the point of **** accuracy and a very very hold sensitive gun (****) so I purchased a titan spring sanded down the spring guide and top hat to fit the new spring cut it down ,then cut it more and after 6 cuts off a very generous spring I got the power down to 11.3ftlb , I just cant believe the difference it now cocks and shoots like a vmach installed kit ,it is a pleasure to cock and fantastic to shoot and the accuracy is pellet on pellet at 30yd no jumping or twanging it just cost £20 for the top hat and guide £20 for the titan and a few hours of my time my 97 was vmached and now my 98 is honestly that sweet and am very pleased with the results £40 well spent,stokie99.
ps the best tool of the job was my dremil (priceless )for this kind of work
I ONLY SAID THAT FISH LOOKS GOOD ENOUGH FOR JEHOVAH !!!
