Park RH93 Strip down with pics

[gc93]

hi , if there was a little interest I possibly could get some made up, either a pair to copy or measurements . does anyone know if they are wound opposite to each other or both wound in the same direction ? thanks gc93.

standard wind. Neither piston can rotate, so I guess it doesn't really matter. I'm measure up when I get some time

hi there, yes have a measure when time the more the better and find a happy medium. im totally guessing but the 177 and 22 springs should be the same so cal and measurements needed

Hi,
I had a pair of spare springs a few years ago made by a chap who used to be on here, I do not recall his full name but I think it was Phil.
These are the measurements of a standard pair as found on my Park RH93 Cal 0.22.

Dimensions and weight of the standard springs:

Short Spring, (pushing front piston rearwards).
3.9mm wire x 19 coils Weight: 108 grammes.
Length: 14.8cm Outside Dia:23.3mm. Internal Dia.:15.5mm.

Long Spring,
3.3mm wire x 29 coils. Weight:94 grammes.
Length: 16.3cm Outside Dia.:18.3mm. Internal Dia.:11.6mm.

I think they are the same between cals... the .177 was generally about 10.5 fp

Hi there I realise this is an oldish link but just wondering if Are they really as good as some make out and what about spares is there still any. All the best Graham.

we had a few at the last springer bash. most were good. spares can be tricky, but not that much is liekly to wear out, except o-rings. welds can break. springs will need replacing, but at a push, HW35 springs will do for the larger one. Reminds me - must get some spare springs for mine sometime.

They are really over engineered, kind of their downfall really since they were expensive at the time due to this.

Spares are pretty much non-existent. Not a lot of them were made. From what I have seen I would guess less than 2000 but I could be wrong.

But they hardly break, had mine almost 10 years and my grandfather had it multiple years before that and I have never needed to replace anything on it, seals and all. So with proper maintenance they last forever.

Of course seals might go with age but they can be bought.


They are a great air rifle to own and always a talking point when at the range since you just dont see them anymore. But they are heavy....and I mean heavy, so can be a pain to lug around if you are hunting with one.

But overall I am glad I have mine and I will never get rid of it. Great piece of British air gun history.

Hi again well I don't hunt are they much heavier than a Walther lgu or the likes, did you record the reassembly by chance they look rather tricky to work on, but I suppose that is half the fun of owning one. Is there any special things to look out for when buying one, is the 0.177 or 0.22 the best to go for. The one I am thinking of going to look at is a RH93 in 0.177 with park silencer and park scope mounts. having not seen many for sale i'm not too sure on pricing. All the best Graham.

Nope the. 177cal struggled to make 10ftlb jon. Thats why i went for the. 22cal.
