Cheers Mike.
It's going to be a diopter target gun so really a soft cycle is the most important, I doubt it'll be much use over 25 yards with a diopter & my eyes anyway. It was ridiculously hard to cock, I think it would have either broken something in the rifle or my arm left as it was.
If I add steel washers in the piston it'll kill two birds with one stone & it's easy to play around with how many, fortunately it's a very easy gun to strip.
On another note the Hobbys arrived today, I probably should have bought all they had & made a killing on flea bay![]()
