Anyone got this information to hand? Just going to compare with the old school HW50, which is 25mm and not sure stroke but will measure it.

Hsing-ee,
IIRC, the HW99S is 26 mm x 71 mm.
Have fun & a good Bank Holiday

I don't know what these bloody shed tuners are doing nowadays I've lost track what's on trend, as long as my teeth don't fall out when fired and I hit what I'm aiming at then I don't care.
I was given a link to a tuning site the other day and they where all worried about their piston seals getting a bit warm and upsetting the running of their rifles, if I was that concerned about that sort of thing then I'd buy a rammer and never sleep again, have my hair go grey and start falling out.......Oh hang about...it is.....Damn you Theoben.

Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in
I think the medieval theologians would label this sort of thing 'the sin of scrupulosity' , like thinking you will go to Hell because you thought you saw a cloud that maybe looked a bit like a lady's ankle. In modern psychological terms it's being neurotic; in modern common terms they should 'get a life' and worry about something more important or even actually go shooting. The solution is to buy a Feinwerkbau 300, accept the low power level and the fact there is NOTHING that can be done to improve it as the FWB engineers 'fixed it already' when they designed it.
Even if they found some thermostable seals then they would have to factor in decay and heat-cycles. I realised that tuning has its limits because unless you shoot in still air indoors all the time, or at ten meters or less, the wind is going to affect things far more than tweaking the last 0.1% of performance out of a rifle. But for some people that IS the fun and having a perfect pitch rifle is the aim of the game, rather than a rifle that can group 10mm or less at 30 yards which is what I like.
No I don't think so. Just do an old-school tune on it, make sure the guides fit and just enjoy shooting it. If you want a supertuned springer, then just get the ProSport out of the cupboard, thats one of the best springers for performance that I have shot.
If you want to tinker, then get an old BSA Cadet Major or summink.
