Yep, old seals 25mm and new ones 26mm.
IME the Oz seals are excellent and the one I put into my HW35 was a better fit than the original.
What are peoples opinions on these? Will shooting the gun feel different compared to the standard seals? What other benefits do the offer? I've got quite a collection of HWs and was thinking about trying these out. My latest purchase is a brand new HW77k in .177 so I think I need the 26mm version, is this correct? What confuses me is that they offer 25 and 26mm seals for most of the HW range, so are most older guns 25mm and newer 26mm? Also the design looks different between the sizes, why would this be?
Lots of questions!
Many Thanks as always...

Early days for mine, it's in my synsg (Diana clone). Seems very smooth with it in, the seal was very well made. Mine was the new moly impregnated type which supposedly you don't have to lube.... But I still did, sparingly.
I believe the switch from 25mm to 26mm came at serial number 1446049.

Oz seals are a bloody quick delivery considering how far they have to travel.
But, I found in my TX that HW and Vortek seals work better and feel nicer to shoot with.
All of the above.
whipsaw,
+1 on Custom Air Seals - excellent stuff
Their delivery times are wonderfully random - my last three (3) orders --> 7.5 weeks, 4 days, 4days !!
Have fun & a good Sunday
Best regards

I ordered a couple of seals from them yesterday, so we'll see how quick they get here, then I'll see how good their new designed 25mm Gamo seal goes in project 'cock

Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in
really good guy to deal with, bought quite a few off him, I also had a set of custom Webley seals made off my own drawings for £60 delivered!
And mine turned up in 3 days!
It says that my order has been dispatched, so the clock is ticking.

Ordered one for my Mk1 .22 Wobbly Vulcan on the 16th May, and it arrived today - with a sticker in the pack as well
I will report how it performs at a later date ...

I have a 25mm but found it very tight knocked over a foot and a half power off on the Chinese gun .
I have tried it in the tx and even after lots of carefull siezing just didn't find it as good as the original still less power with about the same push on the piston.
Not scientfic i know but hw seals just slip in no messing about they get my vote.
