    A pistol possesed by the evil spirit of TonyL. £10 anyone..
    Is the £10 for the gun or evil spirit?

    I don't want to ruin an exceptionally accurate ProSport for the sake a the twang reduction.

    BTW both in 0.177 flavour and only used for tin chickens.

    Any ideas?

    If your happy with the V-Mach kit fitted to your TX why would you not be happy with one fitted in the Pro Sport.

    Prosport

    Hi Guys
    Ive just bought a tidy .177 PS after a good few years without a springer, It shoots ok and the owner says its never been apart, but I want to open it up and at least look inside the old girl, now Ive read loads and heard good things about the 22mm conversion by Mr Leach

    What's the point in spending a damn fortune on a V-mach kit (and make the PS even harder to cock because of the stiffer spring) when all he needs to do is spend a small amount on a couple of Delrin guides to eliminate the twang and keep the spring already in it.

    Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in

    I took the ProSport to the club this morning and although as Accurate as ever.... the twang got to me. I used my HW98 instead and had a quiet twang free completion - with not too shabby result

    I'd forgotten how good that particular 98 is - well its really a bit of a Frankenstein rifle - a 95 action, short stoked with one of Mr Bum's kits, with a 98 barrel and 98 stock.

    As for the ProSport - I'm going for a set of Delrin guides and utilise the original spring me thinks.

    Cheers Steve

    A sensible idea, Air Arms springs are very good quality and if the rifle is shooting spot on already then all it needs is the delrin guides fitted to detwang it, don't even worry about taking the piston out.
