sandwell field sports Tuning options

[maz001471]

In fairness I did ask about what you get from SFS various stages of tune but when it was pointed out there is no buttoning done on any of Tony's tunes I asked who from the BBS could do it so I could just go with a vmach kit after the buttoning had been done.

its ok you do not need to explain yourself , i think fok was looking to start something

No he wasn't........He just didn't read the thread properly, my apologies.

I'm surprised it took until post #8 before someone suggested a tune from someone other than SFS.........The OP asked what options you get with an SFS tune not "Who should I get to tune my rifle?"!

Why do springer tuning posts always seem to bring out the "My tuner is better than your tuner" posts?

Its the nature of forums to diverge.

But I digress...

Don't get obsessed with buttons.

Do it the other way around ...

Fit a decent kit, debur, polish piston, size seal. That with decent modern lubes on the piston and comp tube and you will probably not want to go with buttons ( someone like Bigtoe will be along to advise on latest lubes ).

He would probably advise Finishing line bike grease on the seal, Red rubber grease on the spring and guide, and moly on the comp tube , I use these and they are all excellent

I have had six of Tony's Sandwell Field Sports tuned rifles since 2002. Tony @ SFS is my 'Go To' tuner ... I will not go to any other: enough said.

A .22, 25mm HW77 needs the absolute minimum of work to make it feel nice to shoot.
Why not drop TinBum a line, get one of his kits and have a go yourself? You’re in the right place to ask for advice on any part/lube that you may struggle with (which you won’t, as it’s a five minute job) and you’ll save a good few quid...

Yep minimum work indeed

I think a VMach kit s the best in these though personally, and worth every penny

Well it took 4 years for you to say it!

True. Tend not to rush into things, me.

I bought a HW99s Imp from Tony last year, and I agree, I would't go anywhere else from now on. The rifle Is an absolute joy to shoot

Thanks for the info. Looks like I need to find one of the fore mentioned people on here to do the piston buttoning for me then. From that point I could just use a vmach kit or similar and do all the debuting and polishing to the the internals and trigger myself..

Any ideas who could do the buttoning folks?

Saving yourself a heap of squids doing it.
