Piston gliding

[tinbum]

I've used a maglaza piston with a nose extension in the past, which worked rather well for many years, however the rifle ended up with a VMach reduced cylender conversion by Steve(RIP) which is possiblely the ultimate HW 80 conversion.

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

One of the most desirable air rifles ever produced imho. My uncle has one, and no amount of pleading will make him part with it

don't lighten the piston unless you are reducing the stroke...

TBH the best bang for buck tune for these is to shorten the stroke a bit.. 8-10mm is plenty.

Seller on bay of fleas is also offering a 25mm reduced cylinder conversion - but it was just a bit too rich for my current budget, and given how smooth it was out of the box if reducing the power slightly brings that back I'll be happy

Will never be as dead as my reduced/sleeveless TX's and Prosport.... so its never say never on cylinder reduction, but just not right now

Indeed. As per the internals of my Predator 80. Simply sublime.
