Operation TX

You could always lighten that piston , by losing the skirt.

Very true Nick but that would bring other problems into the equation such as the spring guide.

The idea is to just keep things very simple at this stage.

Are you coming to the AirArms bash at mine by the way ?




All the best Mick

I am sure Slinger would agree with me here, at Quigley Hollow, we never want to lose the skirt.......

But you told me they were kilts that you were both wearing in honour of your Scottish ancestors.

And I didn't like to say at the time but I thought that tossing the Caber competition looked a bit dodgy as well.

Just tell her you need to come back here to fetch your lucky shooting cushion Nick.

With the amount of items you keep forgetting to take home with you I've had to create a NickG lost and found corner in my workshop.

I think your 3 piece shooting stool is still there!

Absolutely.

On both counts!!

The gun's sounding lovely, Mick.

The gun's sounding lovely, Mick.

I had another little play with it yesterday Tone just to make sure I hadn't missed a trick.

First up I sleeved the transfer port down to 2.5mm which absolutely destroyed the power output, so I drilled the sleeve out to 2.9mm which brought the power back up just short of where I started but there was quite a shot to shot variation in velocity.

I tore the action down again and added the 4mm preload washer back on the guide, while I was in there I removed the two breach seal O rings and replaced them with a HW77 breach seal with a 0.8mm shim underneath it.

So now the power is back up and I have a much smaller shot to shot variation --- in all honesty sleeving the transfer port was probably a waste of time but fitting the Weihrauch breach seal was well worth while.

Don't think I haven't tried..... I've left an axe, a chair, and a trolley without success Mick did sharpen the axe for me though.

Other kind mates returned the rest, at the next bash.
