    Hi

    I need to read this article!

    Did you need make new guides or did the spring fit the standard lgv guides?

    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    What kind of reamer did you use, if you don't mind my asking?

    I had read previously on this site that it was advantageous to open up the LGU underlever transfer port but I was not aware the same applied to the LGV. Could you cast further light on this and the reasons behind it?

    I also understood that the LGV was designed to perform at about 11.2 ft/lbs from new. Is this not the case?

    I would like to see the Tyler article. Where can this be viewed?

    It is all explained in the articles (see references above). I think Nick opened up the port of my LGU to !/8th when he tuned it, but it was as part of a radical modification (skirtless piston). I don't know what it would do for one in standard form.

    I bought a new 3mm reamer on the bay, but it was too short to reach the port when in a tap wrench. Luckily I was able to borrow a 3mm machine reamer from an engineer friend, and that was long enough to use in my tap wrench.

    Airgun World, September 2018 (and see July2018)

    The spring is far too loose on the standard guides, but luckily I had a spare tinbum guide made when I was running my NickG tuned LGU with a TX spring
