Yes there is, used their seals in 2 x 95s and a mk 1 77, superb results ensued.
Morning all.
Has anyone got some experience (results/outcomes) of fitting Vortek seals? I'm particularly interested where this has been done to upgrade from leather in guns such as Dianas, BSFs perhaps HWs etc?
Also is there a supplier over here in Blighty?
Cheers
Dave

I will be interested to know the result.
I recall reading a discussion on the 'Collecting' section of this forum and a number of problems were raised with regards to replacing leather seals, although I forget what they were. It does, possibly, have the ability to upset the internal mechanics/balance. Perhaps it would be worth sounding out the experts there!
I did a conversion in my old .22 Meteor using a 25mm piston head conversion kit from Vortek, the seal is quite a hard plastic material (compared to the softer Weihrach seals) and required sizing down for a smooth fit.
It worked very well giving a longer stroke (+4.5mm) and pushed it up to 10.5ftlbs but you needed a tractor to pull the trigger so I made a few other mods & fitted a Tinbum TopHat and it's now running at 8.7ftlbs, quite smooth with low recoil.
