You could well be right, Jon, but that would be of interest to those with .177" Original 35s.
Everything is prepared now ready for the big build and looking very sexy if I say so myself.
The piston ended up at 276 grams once I'd added a Delrin top hat.
The barrel was only slightly bent upwards but it's dead straight now.
As I had 16mm of preload with the leather sealed piston I've kept that the same for the build up with an O ring seal, having 6mm of top hat/slip washer in the piston and a 10mm stack of Dowty washers on the spring guide.
If it does go over I can simply remove preload from the back end and not disturb the piston which will give me a better idea of what it's doing.
If I feel it needs more piston weight I can simply pull the top hat out and I have some 10mm washers that weigh 4 grams each I can load the piston with, but I can only physically get four in.
If I get some numbers tomorrow I'll post them, but then I'll have to make a spring compressor before carrying on with the fine tuning.
All the best Mick
