Pig in a poke Pt2 The internals. Information please.

Personally, I'd be going with a new spring (yours looks kinky!).

Plastic TH, and steel spring guide fixed in the trigger block (seeing as somebody's already done the work machining it).

And sleeve down the TP to 3.2ish?... 4.5mm sounds a bit huge, doesn't it?



(I don't recognise the seals on those pistons of yours, Jim?)

I'd be starting a bit smaller at 2.5mm, Phil --- then you can drill it out bigger if needed.

Ah, interestingly small to start off with, Mick.

You won't Phil. Just a couple of thin PTFE temporary seals to see how the rifles shot with 70mm stroke.

Many thanks for the support all. I have a much later 55T so may have a peek inside just for curiosity.
On that note Jim what was the stroke before you went for 70 mm?

[frakor]

The early HW55 models did have a fixed spring guide ..
At a later date this feature was changed to the separate guide, not sure at what date that was done though?
I would remove the piston seal adapter and replace it with a leather seal as it should be.

From memory, 65mm. My HW55 does have the fixed rear spring guide, and I'm guessing the one originally in yours was probably deliberately removed because it wouldn't fit inside a beefier after market spring.

Thanks again. Must get on with it! I'm suspicious about the trigger unit. Has wear consistent with age and pre safety frame with stop pin above main sear but
the sear fouls the slot in main cylinder so has to be depressed to unscrew the block. Read somewhere that early 55T had match trigger later became Rekord for 35??

...the sear fouls the slot in main cylinder so has to be depressed to unscrew the block...

I have to do the same with both my HW50 and HW55, Jules.

Thanks again Jim probably correct to the action then.

I agree, think 4.5 TP would be problematic.
