I think that rod will be a way too short - have you mocked it up to check ?
Also I think the piston itself will be too short as well - you'll need a nose extension - the problem IIRC from mine (it was a while ago) was when the piston is on the forwards position, the rear shoulder would have smacked into the cocking shoe. Hence the need to lengthen.
Assume you are using the new style "in the groove" cocking shoe ? Any you know about grinding the HW sear if you want a rotating piston ?
Its a worthwhile project though, you'll end up with a loverly gun.
Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.
The 80 is running a short stroked/lightened standard piston....i can pick up some 30mm od 24mm id so might get the gunsmith I use to take it out a touch to 25mm
them there springer's are soooooo addictive
Bloody hell Jonathan, I bought one of those extensions off Neil54 at the last bash, I only bought it for the 25mm Weihrauch seal --- you can have the extension.
I'd have gone with the Walther LGV piston in an 80 --- Bigtoe (Tony Leach) shows how simple the conversion is with one of those on his old Airguntech website.
All the best Mick
yeah, TX piston will work with a nose extension and a new longer rod - but as Mick says, the Walther piston might be the better bet, as the nose extension just wastes spring room...
