    I would like to experiment with a metal top hat to increase weight but don't how much one would weigh. Any rough Ideas for a 25-26 mm cylinder?

    I'll be coy about which gun I'm thinking of.

    Your meteor needs a piston mass of around 180g all up. Weigh it and add weight to suit
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.
