+1 for the HW45 - Tinbum kit
I though mine was pretty good to start with it is now most excellent
Hi
Have rebuilt my very old HW45 with much help and advice from Nick and one of his kits. it has turned what was a very jumpy pistol that has been at the back of a drawer for several years into a very nice gun.
the gun was running at about 2.9 flb with an fps spread of around 25-30 fps into a much smoother pistol running at 4.5 flb with a spread of 10-12 fps after only putting a couple of dozen pellets through it.
I have fitted one of his kits to my .177 HW95 and was so pleased that I decided to try one on the pistol, will be looking at the old .22 HW35 and .22 HW77
Thanks again to Nick for his videos and for taking the time to reply to my e-mails.

You only have the rights you are willing to fight for
Nick's kits are excellent and the personal service delivered is top notch.. And the TbT website is also turning into a nice, comprehensive resource.
We're lucky to have him amongst us.
I wonder how many springers around the globe will have now been transformed by his kits?
Nice one, Nick. May you continue to go from strength to strength and your guides remain true and stiff!

Excellent!
Although, sadly, some sectors have really struggled, many have thrived. Especially people like your good self offering quality goods backed up with excellent service. Internet and mail order helping, obviously. I guess many home tinkerers will have had more time on their hands to start projects which they may have otherwise struggled to and the excellent value for money of your fine fares make them realistically achievable.

The feature on the HW 45 in the latest AGW is very good btw.
The kits are fantastic but go one step further and add an oz parachute seal and wow! Completely different pistol
Yes, I've heard this from several sources.. It does seem strange that HW persist in the usage of the PTFE seal when all the spring rifles use a parachute seal.
I wonder if any of our more intrepid engineers have also played with the idea of the 'O' in a 45?
Or we could just go for the proper "old school" feel, do a leather head conversion and keep it well lubed for even more diesels!

Just contemplating an upgrade to my HW45, looking at the Aussie parachute seal for $20.50, the shipping is over $26!
Surely there is a cheaper alternative this side of the globe? Mr Tinbum - can you engineer something comparable or bulk-buy some Aussie stock to offer on your website?
Too many guns, or not enough time?
