    Where to get tuning kits for my Weihrauch rifles.

    I was wondering where should I look for tuning kits for my HW rifles?

    Cost is not a big consideration.. I just want optimal performing rifles.
    I have probably shoot more pellets in my garden this year, then I have centerfire rounds in the last 20 years....

    I would have sent them to a professional tuner if I lived in the UK. But I don`t.
    But I do need somebody who will actually return emails.......
    And sends abroad.

    I currently have:
    HW35E : .177
    HW80K : .22
    HW97K : .177

    What I am after:
    HW35E : Sub 12 ft/lbs
    HW80k : FAC level output in .22
    HW97K : FAC level output in .177 & Sub 12ft/lbs in .177


    Now, FAC doesn't mean anything here. Just to make it easier to get across what Im looking for
    I want the most smooth, best performance I can get...
    And preferably from one source..

    Hi there,

    We are fortunate enough to have some excellent suppliers of tuning kits for Weihrauch springers.

    In no order of preference, have a look at the following:-

    Tinbum Tuning
    Welsh Willy
    Vortek
    Sandwell Field Sports.

    Hope this helps.

    I have Nicks kits (TBT) in all of mine and can’t fault them for the money

    The 35 can be a bit tricky to get good performance from, so that may not be the best gun to spend your money on.
    For the other two, I'd get kits from ARH/Jim Maccari.

    Smoothness can come from a piston sleeve so no cocking lever on the spring, well greased hinges etc...

    When shooting, a good fitting spring guide stops the twang, feels nicer, then match the power to the spring and rifle for performance

    The new Vortex kits look interesting, they had changed the design to steel outer casing sleeves, I've no experience of these kits though.

    AGR tuning are selling them in the UK, it could be worth having a chat with them.

    From my experience TbT kits are excellent vfm and you get a superb after sales service if you ever need it.

    I think at the moment they haven't made it this side of the pond yet. I only ordered one a week ago from Tony
    and it was the plastic sleeve still.
    I am sure it wont be long before they make there way here.

    Great kits, I have a HW97 and 2 HW98's with the kits in them and they are very good.

    All of the other rifles have TbT kits fitted, and there is a lot of them, which I am pleased with.

    Really depends on what you want to do with your rifle and how much you are prepared to pay.

    Another vote for TbT kits and as previously stated, after sales service and advice (should you need it) is perfect.
