Whats the best piston seel for a 25mm weihrauch hw97?

[vobster]

Thanks!

[Shed tuner]

Personally I'd go LGU/V.

[vobster]

Thanks. Do they fit straight on without modification?

[venoman]

V-Mach.

[MattyBoy]

Defo the LGV seal. The LGU is for central ports like the TX200 so buy the LGV.


And yes I have tried everything out there...

Sweet. Where can I get an lgv seal from? Google comes up with nothing

[Snooper601]

There's a German mail order gun shop advertising them, iirc there's a thread in here with the web address.
Rumour has it that Armex are supposed to be getting them in for UK dealers.

Cheers

I'll ask a gunshop first, try to give some local business.

my 97 has a vac25 shoots really nicely, and made more power than the old style hw seal and the v-mach seal, meaning i could lessen spring preload for an even smoother shot cycle

[bozzer]

Any Vac25 seals in the UK to buy or is it order in from USA?

I'm still convinced that my Powerpulse seal does strange things in very low temps or when range/comp firing ( Snoops has talked about this and it was mentioned in Jim's recent Airgun World article ). Jim suggested trying an old HW seal when the temps drop low and see what happens. I'll report back on that. The Powerpulse seal goes up 25fps 8.4gr and 40fps 7.9gr when the temp drops below 5C. I've sized it as much as I dare. You can actually feel it tighter with the comp tube/piston out of the gun when you are in the warm house compared to leaving it out in sub 5C for 20 mins.

These are a UK Vortek dealer, 12 quid posted IIRC.
The only caveat is that the last few I've had have all needed sizing down, not one has been a fit where it would size after a few tins either, also the material seems firmer than firm, leads to a quite lively firing cycle (I with they would return to the old red style seals with the grooved ring in)
I'm waiting on a pair of LGV seals to try myself, I can't see HW producing the newer style 26mm in 25mm given they only do the 30s in 25mm now which is a shame as those are great seals

V-Mach. I tried the Vac thingys - oversize and rock hard as others have said. Beautiful shot cycle with the V-Mach in 25mm.

[vobster]

I'm not to fond of vmach seals, I run the standard seal in my vglide 97.

Has anyone tried the target tune india seals? I can get hold of one from a mate.

[TonyL]

Beautiful shot cycle with the V-Mach in 25mm.

Ditto!

I like the firing cycle with the V Mach but it's the temp shifts that drove me crazy.
