The money they are charging these days they ought to at least lighten & glide the piston & fit delrin guides.


Or maybe its like a cure for cancer, if someone worked out how to make the perfect sub 12 springer they'd be bumped off & their work would disappear.

None of the Venom guys ever got bumped off and Nick G is still with us, not sure if you where referring to HW regarding the glided pistons but AA already do it, Venom used solid metal guides in their tunes and kits, it's all to do with the fit and finish, which the manufacturers don't have time to do (well they could but profit gets in the way, so they don't), Delrin is cheaper and easier to machine than steel and the spring doesn't twang as much on Delrin, so if you don't get the tolerances spot on, then it's a bit more forgiving.
