    Your best bet is to call them and discuss it with them, saves incorrect info being given and you being misled !

    I was going call him mate but given how busy Tony is when I've called before I thought I'd get an idea of what's done in a stage 1 as only ever had stage 2 before when he did a 97 for me.

    I've got beaten up 77 coming my way with what I am assuming will be 25mm piston given its a made in W.Germany vintage. It's a .22 though sadly so I would only use it for plinking hence why I am thinking just a stage 1

    I shouldn't imagine any Stage 1 tune would include buttoning.

    It's quite a big job.

    I thought buttoning was something done only by Steve Pope and one or two other people, some of whom are members of this forum.

    No buttoning on any of SFS's tunes a stge 1 is degrease , debure and polish internals , size piston seal , fit new spring with custom top hat and spring guide , tune the trigger and relube . A stage 2 is the same but the spring guide is is fixed in to the back block
    A few nice rifles

    Thanks for the info. Looks like I need to find one of the fore mentioned people on here to do the piston buttoning for me then. From that point I could just use a vmach kit or similar and do all the debuting and polishing to the the internals and trigger myself..

    Any ideas who could do the buttoning folks?

    I'm surprised it took until post #8 before someone suggested a tune from someone other than SFS.........The OP asked what options you get with an SFS tune not "Who should I get to tune my rifle?"!

    Why do springer tuning posts always seem to bring out the "My tuner is better than your tuner" posts?

    Depending on one's ability to finish the job properly, quite possibly. How good the finished article really is comes down to personal preference and what you aim to achieve.
