The fact that the original guide would allow the original spring to easily slide up and down yet this new set up was totally fixed, suggested something was different.
10 shot string, 6fps variation and averaging 11.5, not a buzz or twang or anything other than a single ' thwock' on firing! This is how the rifle should have been (and it was still the most accurate springer I had shot!).
I will monitor the power closely as it beds in but what a change. I only wish Umerex did spares in the UK because while it was cheaper than a UK drop in kit, it still set me back £34 to get it here.
I've got the original LGV spring spare if anyone wants it gratis! Drop me a PM.
