    HW99s, Which piston Seal

    Hi all, going to drop a TBT kit in my 99s, spring and all. While I'm doing that I thought I'd add new seals. I have tried to do some research about which to use and now my mind is so addled with colours, and parachutes, , Aussie etc. (there's a bit missing that mentioned another name for the UK seals)
    Any advice?

    Please?

    From what I’ve read they are more efficient than the standard Oem seals enabling you to drop the preload/shorten the spring for a nicer firing cycle without sacrificing power.

    My hw 97 has had new piston & breech seals from Britseals, very pleased with them.

    I thought I had read something about them not suiting 99's, but I'll give it a go.
    Thanks again guys

    I put a br1t seal in a hw99 and instantly got 10 shots within 5fps and it was a perfect fit I rate them.

    I have always been happy with the OEM seal and would continue to fit them, personally. When available, I'd also have gone for the V-Mach items.

    Thanks for all the suggestions guys.
    I know where to find britseals, the Vortek link led to the site that wanted to charge me £36 for postage. For OEM do I go to Chambers?

    Seal

    Bryt Seals - Where do these come from? I haven't heard of them before. It sounds a bit late 90s, is Tony Blair involved? Mixed reviews on the interweb but I am sure it people being impatient and not running them in properly.

    From other site bud, I’ve ran vortek and ozzy seals before and to me these pip both of them especially the oz seals.

    Plus I would guess that most gun shops that stock Weihrauch will stock them / can order in for you.
