    Hi Tony,
    Have you been inside to see what it has had done? I ask as I have a MK1 80 with an early venom stock (reworked standard stock) and what I have had been advised are early venom internals. It would be good to compare mine with yours for further confirmation.
    Cheers Rich.

    Hi Rich, no, sorry.

    Although I do / have done a fair bit of home fettling on many of my springers over the years, I decided a long time ago that my Venoms (two 80s, the Lazaglided 80 and Vantage 77) remain untouched by anyone other than Venom back in the day and V-Mach in the "modern era". Just seems right to me.

    Now you're talking.

    How do you find the wd short stroke? I'd like reduced hold sensitivity and felt recoil

    I was going to keep standard length barrel but that mod does look ace! Are they available to buy online?

    you would have to shoot it to believe it, i did the usual drop in kit like most do, it does make a difference but the WD tune is something else, its on another level.

    it really does not seem hold sensitive at all, and the recoil, well you just dont notice it.

    I will pm you about the silencer.

    yes please , I love the hw80 , but the stock is so boring and at the same time so simple and vintage looking . either love them or hate them , a bit like marmite ...

    so any pics of re-vamped standard stocks welcomed

    Thank you
