HW35 piston change

[T 20]

Was this resolved? I've just got a leather sealed 35 and was contemplating either a piston change or maybe getting the nose turned to take a synthetic seal. The transfer port is luckily at 3mm, so it's do'able.

Just bring the piston to the bash, Mark.

I'll machine it anyway you want it and post it back to you, FOC of course.




All the best Mick

Mick,
Thank you very much.

Mark, I spoke to Colin at the weekend, he had a non original piston in there that was longer than standard. Its all sorted now!

Silly point which I'm saying as a just in case...

If you took the trigger unit out, when you reassembled I assume you put it back in place "cocked"?

(I'm assuming the Rekord trigger assembly is the same as a HW77 here - you need to put engage the sear before reassembling otherwise it doesnt cock).

Yes, and thats the first question I ask when a customer says the gun won't cock.

After that its "Did you read the instructions?" which is invariable followed by a few seconds of silence and then "No, didn't read 'structions."

I would have surprised me if you hadn't of asked it!

It was the second thing I noted about removing/replacing a Rekord trigger. The first being "Tape down the safety catch" !!

In cases like this I always try it without the main spring.

Glad you got it sorted.
