    Got a 13mm Wonky Donky nose on my '85 piston, it is very accurate but I don't know if I have too much preload or too little or whether I should swap the spring out for another one ... Now I have finished fiddling with my 77 for the time being I will try to get this one sorted.

    The 'loose' bit at the beginning of the cocking stroke caused by this method of short-stroking is not nearly as annoying as I thought it would be. It actually has a nicer feel than the regular break-barrel rigmarole - instead of working against the latch-bolt spring AND the mainspring it is just a matter of tapping the barrel to pop the latch bolt, then a nice smooth mainspring compression stroke.

    An 'old school' 85 is a one of the best Weihrauchs. That 85 was a tack-driver before you shortstroked it!
