Early venom 80

[prosport.177]

What were venom offering tune wise back in 1982 83 ish?
What was there stage one tune?
We're they altering the stroke? Offering o ring conversions
Shortening barrels and adding there silencers.
Standard spring guides altered, polished and a far greater taper? Or had they just started to fix them to trigger back block?

I think they offered a few things and you could have as much or as little as you liked and could afford. Mine has a reworked beech stock, oring headed piston and a steel spring guide not attached to the trigger block. I need to measure the spring and transfer port.

Stage one tune. Polish, new spring, steel guide, top hat and a reworked piston seal. Yep barrel shortening and silencers fitted , did mine in 1983. Have a stage one tune and hard to tell from a lazaglide. Please note the lovely lazaglides didn't appear until late 1985. Mach 1.5

Insides were covered in a black tar like stuff, not Moly!

Mine has a 12" barrel. Think 14" was standard cut down length.
