    Pro sport tuning

    Does anyone know of any serious pro sport modifications? Have you done some yourself or had them done?

    Nice when fitted with a Vortek PG2 kit, and an easy change to make when the original spring washer start to go, when it gets a bit twangy,

    I have fitted tbt guides and shortstroke and am pleased with it. Less recoil and less hold sensitive. The heavy tophat was really difficult to remove and I think it would be quite easy to damage the spring, it also makes for stiffer cocking. Mine is .177

    Just run it as standard to see how lucky you were with the fit of the internals. If found harsh or snappy then what others have suggested.

    I have done the same as the above quote. I personally didn't have any problems with the top hat and found the TbT kit very straightforward to fit. I have done the same with two Prosports and the effect on both off them made a great rifle into a brilliant rifle. My rifle was stiffer to cock but my friends one was no different, not sure why. You can find lots of options to tune the rifle, but the TbT kit has transformed the rifle at what I regard as a cheap but very good option. It fires great from the box but as soon as mine started making noises this was option I chose and certainly not disappointed that I did. It's really case of how much you want to spend on it and what you want done. All the best, Ade

    It's a slightly unnusual pattern (the first and last are to be expected, but the exacts would normally be somewhere in the middle), but if it's accurate with the expresses, just use them, job done. light shed.
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.
