    Shoots/feels better than my .22/95k now...
    255g is a good improvement - what are these 27 or 28mm cylinder ?
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    27mm buddy, looking to get the piston down to around 240, the spring is the main issue with these really (Pow-R-Lok F1) as they were well oversprung from the factory...

    I've had great results with only a softer spring in the Vulcan. The heavy piston and the narrow transfer port seem to balance out nicely.
    Too many airguns!

    The shot cycle on the Xocet is quite horrific as standard but as I said I seem to be getting good results just by removing weight from the piston, 273grms is heavy, I’ve also been able to reduced preload as a result, currently running pretty much smack bang on 11, hoping to lose a bit more off of the piston yet whilst maintaining 11’s…
