Some tuners re work HW pistons. VMach machined their own and only used HW latching rods. Steve once told me there were 17 processes in making a 97 / 77 VGlide unit. Mach 1.5

I've been in touch with the seller on bay of fleas and his are custom made (assuming it is this one 285824109090 - if there is another I've missed when searching on there please can someone post the item number)
Keen to make simple changes - out of the box the HW80 has been so much better than the 99 and 95 that came before it, power has crept up a little from new, and it is almost 1980's long with the HW mod on the end of it, so there is a DM80 slimtech style 'barrel weight' on order, and while I have it apart to lop the end of the spring off having a thorough clean, deburr and decent grease makes sense.... and if there are fractions to be gained in smoothness by gliding it would be a good opportunity to do it all at once
Just not too sure about the lightening of the piston - shot cycle out of the box was smooth and docile, has become a little less docile as power has crept up (about .5ft/lb with 16gr pellet), see no reason for drastic machining if it's not required

I was told that buttoning/banding etc just helps with the cocking. My 80 cocks really easily so I won't have need of it.
I have no idea what lightening would do, and until I know I will leave well alone.
Don't get me wrong, there's loads of information on here, out there about it, but I can't, yet, understand it.

The venom lazaglide/ VMach vglide systems run 25mm piston. The maglaza they did ran a 30mm piston. Mach 1.5
Would have to agree the VMach reduced cylinder conversion is possiblely the ultimate 80 tune hence I brought a full VMach 80 the other week. Tried it and I couldn't say no to my friends excellent work. Mach 1.5
Is it a genuine one on ? Says old stock...
Halinfax on airgunforums does this, he did my hatsan piston, supplied a spare delrin ring too.
He also lightened (drilled) the piston & threaded the barrel for a silencer
.
Do not sell this man any air guns no matter what he says
