I didn't realise Vortek were still going, if I remember correctly the piston sleeve was mounted at the rear of the action and slides inside the piston ?
All the best Mick

Shooting Air Rifles is like being a pubic hair on a toilet seat.
Eventually someone comes a long and P's you off.
They usually have a PCP
Pretty sure that Vortek still exist. But they may not have a current U.K. dealer.

Maybe (maybe not, these days) Krale might ship to the U.K.?
Glad you're loving the 98. Love mine (totally standard) and it's a keeper, for sure. Some people go the opposite 95/98 hybrid route, that is, keep the 98 stock but go with a 95 barrel to bring the weight distribution further back. All down to individual preference. Post those new piccies once it has its posh, new CS frock.
I've only ever heard good things about the Vortek kits, but V-Mach kits (some still available from Lyn Lewington?), Tinbum and Welsh Willy all help to transform the manners too and are excellent. Many people have had much success with the Tinbum short stroke heads.

You could buy that combination of 98 in a 95 stock from Sportswaffen Schneider in Germany. I always thought they looked good and that particular version of the 95 stock is also my favourite, prefer it to the current one actually.

I just watched your vid and it made me happy and sad, beautiful gun, I have a spare 98 Laminate and I can see me doing a similar build in the future.

HW95 in a HW98 is also a good combo. Never been a big fan of the 98 until HW brought out the new version with the 12 inch screw cut barrel which brings the balance of the rifle a little more forward and hence making it less barrel heavy on its predecessor. Yes i brought a grey laminate and its vglide of course but thats no surprise. Mach 1.5
