We love our guns, and, as I expected, most people who have replied like to improve them, even if it's just some small way.
But I've heard tales of Weihrauchs for instance, that twang and diesel like Billio, and yet are phenomenally accurate.
Does the twang and dieseling eventually go away.
Don't get me wrong. I love my springers and love to improve them, and my question was more academic than anything else.
I replaced and retired my 1986 HW80 in 2008 with another brand new HW80 but Screw cut this time which I still have. Out the box it bounced about, whaling like a banchee and grouped like a design on a plate. Sent to Dave Hall B&C after few months and he made it into a peach to shoot with groups as tight as my wallet.
John Darling JD (1946-2004) was my inspiration to be the best i can and enjoy the sport i love. R.I.P
A dedicated HW80 Fanatic and owner since 1986 to present.
