    As Nick says, take your time and a considered view. It'll take only a small amount of work and a couple of properly fitting components to transform it into the refined and accurate sporter that it's crying out to be. You'll love it once suitably fettled.

    If you had one previously tuned by Shauny - why didn't you just get him to do this one as well?

    Because funds are tight. I've no details for Shaun I got the last 99 already tuned. i took this one back to the gun shop it came from with a broken spring to be fixed but ended up being worse after he put a titan spring and the current spring he says is a hw one. But looking at how slack the spring guide is I really can't see it as a hw one to be honest.

    I've got 200 in the gun with a webley pro system silencer and nikko 3-9x50ir scope in going to try get it together tomorrow the spring seems 4" too long the full back block piece is stuck out the guide is about 15mm out the back of the gun from how it shot to start to what a dog I've ended up with its sickened me. Won't be using the shop again

    I got my hw for £40 but sin ce have put a new stock on a bl4de shroud and a wonkey kit in it and then wonkey looked at it as was still a bugger gauling but sorted now , they are a lovely gun once messed with , have you got a dremel i used that and a diamond ball bur i got a large diamond bur put it in from the block end then put it in the dremel as it would not fit the cocking slot , i then use it on the low setting and ran it up and down the cocking slot then i used a 600grit polishing mop in the dremel again on low and polished the slot to near mirror , it is worth messing with it .
    i think i have some spare burs if you need any
