    well, I stuck a .177 barrel on mine, and it only lost about 0.5 FP

    I think the k would benefit more than the full length, as it's way too jumpy with so little weight up front.
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    OK I'll go for it then - nothing ventured nothing gained!

    if you like a snappier cycle go with 12mm. If you like things a little softer, go with 10mm - will also be a little easier to cock on a K

    Fit the spring guides only and add weight up front, either get a heavier (steel) silencer or do as I did which was to remove the centre hair curler in the silencer and replace it with a metal weight !...

    I short stroked my 98 with the TBT kit.
    Worked well after I re-sized the piston seal. Smooth fast and accurate. Similar recoil to my stroked TX200.
    I removed about 1.5 coils from the spring supplied in the kit
