    I had an early Venom tuned one in .177 the first springer i could hit a barn door with. At one time I had a std 95 bought new when Venom was in Halesowen up the top of Mucklow Hill, I added a s/h 77 in .22 then the s/h Venom 80, previous to that it was old Meteors & then Webley Vulcans. I went like many over to pcp & never looked back but over time I salvaged enough cheap 80 spares to make a full rifle up & dropped in a venom kit. I can't honestly answer why I have it or why I like it, I never use it but one day when I retire next year I'll re discover the joys of the 80 & I'll let you know if I can find this post

    Well in simple terms, Rob.

    A length of 30mm OD X 25mm ID tube is fixed and sealed into the HW80 compression chamber.

    Then a custom piston, or Walther LGV/LGU, or a TX piston can be used in the new cylinder.

    The cocking shoe will probably have to be altered if using the Walther or TX piston and the top sear in the trigger will have to be altered to suit, or the Weihrauch back block can be altered to accept the TX CD trigger unit.



    All the best Mick
