Hey BOG, Your strip stain of beach and other processes are pretty much the best handling of beech I’ve seen. I had a Stormrider years ago with nice grain and hit it with a honey, poly one-step finish, but I prefer the bottom pic with better grain popping out. - Still working on my Fuming tent...

Ron’s comments explain (exactly), the process I went through 6-8 years ago👌.

May I ask who the guy is or is it a problem? Also, what does that cost? He does absolutely beautiful work 🙂🌈🚀🎯.

Great collaborative effort🎯. I can’t tell the difference between the OEM stock finish and the one modified. That means a great job ……

Yeah, I’ve mainly just re-used OEM seals when I do a tune shortly after buying the gun or the green Aussie seals. I’ve haven’t seen an oversized OEM seal and Aussie seals don’t require taking off too much material (on my lathe) for a solid fitment. I just installed my first Vortek seal in a...

Airguns tuning includes many nuances most folks don’t really want to deal with or take time to master. Piston seal fitment is not one of my strong points, I originally walked away from ARH seals mainly because I didn’t understand Jim’s (need to customize) approach. I thought you just jammed the...

Yes .20 Cal🌈🎯🚀, I think that’s the approach I’d take too. I’m sure you’ll figure out another way to shoot in the yard, albeit a pain🤨. I moved recently and really miss being able to shoot in my 13 yard crawlspace. Now I have to drive 10 minutes to go to the range; while a minor inconvenience...

Both ARH and Vortek springs, seals and kits are very nice. I’ve never tuned a FWB 124, but I’d probably give the nod to ARH unless your trying to extract maximum power. Jim Macarri is a gruff old guy, but he is the foremost expert in spring piston tuning.

Great post Steve🌈🎯. About 7 years ago when my Daughter was 15 and my Son was 12, my Son and I were shooting my HW30s or HW 50S in out crawlspace range (12 yards). We teased my Daughter to come down and shoot with the boys, she took three 3 shots …. all perfect bullseyes and left us in the...

Holy Jesus, Absolutely Beautiful Work 🌈🚀🎯. You’re an Artist 🙂. Kirk

Yeah, when you get a gun tuned like that …. and looks that nice. You likely would never be able to replace it🌈.

Hey Ron, can I buy that gun from you :sneaky: ?

Hey Silver, If you use Krytox, first you need to strip the entire gun of all petroleum lubes as they cannot be mixed. Hence, Krytox is the only lube you will use with the guns internals other than for surface lube (Remoil, CLP etc.). - Talk to Ron, he knows about this and believe tunes all his...
