Well, going back a couple of months I bought an HW77 in a lovely laminate stock. Fitted with Nick G internals (alloy piston) it was surprisingly twangy, though very nice to shoot otherwise. So she came to bits and I found a better fitting spring in my spares box to match to the new guide and hat. I removed the trigger and replaced it with a fettled one I had in the man cave and voila! - twangless and still retaining the excellent shot cycle, although as it's a 'K' you get a bit of muzzle bark. Recently purchased an SMK from the sales section. An XS20 (the HW95 clone). I stripped her down for a fettle and re-sprung her with a top hat fitted. I included a fettle on the 'Rekord' copy trigger and I must say I'm pleased with the results (some might say I'm easily pleased). Lastly, I'm awaiting the return of one of my HW30's from Geoff Bullock at Liquid Steel Designs, who has just glided the piston for me and made some new guides to go with a re-spring. I went a bit abstract with the stock finish on this one, so looking forward to getting it back (oh and I had the action Cerakoted tungsten as well). So, what's left... I have an HW35 Luxus to put back together and I'm girding my loins to do something about a hairline crack that's appeared in the stock of my FWB300 .
Recently finished a MK1 HW80 in .25. Loads of molly grease & a humungus OX spring. Currently on loan to Dr Who for wanging Daleks around the galaxy.

Law of any kind only affects those willing to abide by it.
I have now fitted the nice new guide which Mr TB made (to the original Walther pattern) to my Nick G tuned LGU, which is now shooting as nicely and more accurately than it has ever done. The thing that has always bugged me though is the clumsy stock, which doesn't fit and doesn't feel right in any way -so- I now have sitting on my bench a beautiful new Warren Edwards walnut sporter stock (ever the ancient reactionary, the old ones are always best) which I have garnished with a pistol grip cap and have just given its first coat of oil. Another month or so of more coats and sanding, and by Christmas it should make the LGU as good a gun as a man could wish for.
Has the forum stopped people sharing tuning information?
Or stopped the shed tuners from sharing ? Banned or is Mr Tinbum joshing again
Recently got back into my Springers and got myself a nice walnut stocked prosport in .177 , took it out for the first time today and after a session on targets took it for a wander around the fields . Bagged a nice 30yard magpie .
Not sure how the firing cycle of the prosport is supposed to be , but this one has apparently been short stroked and feels snappy ,it does 11.4 ft/1b's with 8.4 grain JSB's . Im more than happy with its performance

I made an o-ring piston head for my Bonehill Britiania. And put a diana 28mm poly seal into a BSA "L" which now gives nearly 7Fp on a weedy TX200 mk3 spring.. technology has moved on slightly in 100 years
Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.
