    If anyone knows of any it would be greatly appreciated.

    Welsh willy produces drop in kits which will transform your hw80 i had one in mine. 18 ftlb is very nice for .22 and upto 22 ft lb for .25.

    Piston liner

    Would you leave the steel piston liner in when fitting a drop in kit ? Or would it be removed as it could make more noise and vibration on firing ?

    The steel piston liner is needed on the older 80/85/95/98 to support the cocking shoe. If you want to remove the liner you should replace the cocking shoe with one of the more recent that rides on the tube.
    Too many airguns!

    yeah, it's a good upgrade, especially on a full power 80

    I messaged him a few times emailed as well but no reply over a month ago.
    a gun is just a tool how its used is dependant on the person behind the trigger .
    This is why constant restrictions on legal users will have no effect on the unlawfull use of guns or knives !

    Just out of curiosity why do we call this work "tuning"?
    Tuning is tweaking the existing power plant so that it runs smoother or more efficient.
    What we actually do is totally customise and re-engineer.
    Like dropping a V6 into a Ford Fiesta or probably more like fitting a Tesla power plant into a DB9!!

    you you are right... maybe tweaking the stroke is about as far as you can go with tuning, or changing the weight of a top hat.. ONce you start sleaving, short stroking, making new pistOn heads etc, it's definitely re-engineering
