A friend and I once did the full Mike Wade conversion on his .22 '80. He's the same FAC holder that I mentioned on a recent Innova mention. So, opened TP, increased stroke and the Mike Wade spring = 21.5ft.lbs with the old Wasps.
When he stripped it, another friend put the Micky Wade spring into his otherwise standard '80 - 18.5.

Better to admit you walked through the wrong door than spend your life in the wrong room
Indeed, Padders.
That standard stroke one with just the spring fitted (obviously the usual polish / re-lube etc.) shot very, very sweetly indeed.
As you say, just as HE intended.

Well, I went out to my permission tonight, got there around 18:30, chatted with the owner for about an hour (all the while chatting I’m wanting to bait out and shoot: but eventually got going). It was effin’ freeeeeeeeeezin’,I baited up with liquified cat food/cooking oil/out of date marmite and a shite load of other smelly stuff in a bottle. Baited 4 areas that I normally see Roland’s in and, waited, moving my position every 15mins or so.
After 2 hours..... not a bloomin’ thing and my whole body was frozen by this time. Still, my spirits were high as I was ‘out there’. Within the next hour I took 9 shots which resulted in 7 less Roland’s and two misses due to frozen trigger finger (hey, it was cold). It was when I went to light up a fag and the flame on my lighter froze...... I decided to go home
Now sitting here with a glass of Merlot thinking..... life’s kind of OK
