Spring Gun Tuning

[BONNIE & CLYDE]

The top tuners from the past used to recommend the use Silicon oil on piston heads in the form of SM50.

As you advise against the use of Silicon, I thought I'd ask what you recommended instead ?


All the best Mick

sm50 is fine dont have a break down of what it contains but its not just silicon its a mix ,i used it for years on seals but now i coat with anti scuff like gn paste ,then wet with dryslide type lube ,both high molly content this way every time you cock & fire your rifle it buffs itself in no need to put dryslide in compression tube
i can send you a sample of my moly lube (dryslide) but much thicker no charge if you pm me your addy
thanks dave

I would just like to echo many comments about the Bonnie & Clyde tuning kits now sold by Westy.
I can only say that the tuning kit is simple to fit and the lube instructions are very good for the relative novice like me.

The results are amazing. I would encourage anyone who is unsure about their ability to fit one of these kits themselves to not worry. It's so gratifying when the rifle feels so much smoother and the consistancy has you thinking the chrono is stuck....!

Thanks again to both David (B&C) and Paul (Westy).

Here! Here! I second that what an outstanding difference these kits make to a springer, they are highly recommended in my eyes, they need to be tested to believe the actual difference they make!
Top kits from a top fella
