    Thanks for the input everyone, not inspired to purchase from the opinions expressed so far though.

    Bored at dinner time so went and ordered one! It's all good fun!

    Have a theory that the standard seal is so free that it seals OK on the first stroke but not as good after the bounce causing the piston to land a little harder than it might.

    that is quite common with seals that are sized too small...
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    Current seal is an unsized new type HW. I also have an o ring short Stroke head that I could try. Constant seal and friction with this option.

    Friction tuning .

    Can that be wise ?

    Do you employ a frictionless seal instead ?
