When tuning a R10 with a Vortek kit do you have to replace the cocking shoe with the new style one? Jimmy V

Just radius the edges and polish the underside of the cocking shoe. Or it will carve up the steel outer guide..

Jimmy I am about to send my R10 to Airgunwerks for service...do you think that the Vortex kit was a big improvement over the factory mainspring? What difference did it make in your gun
Thanks!

Why don't you ask Mr. Slade what he recommends? He is a very respected tuner, I would take his advice. JMO

The reason I don’t sent my air rifles out is because i enjoy doing it myself. Been doing it for years. In some of my guns Vortek kits were a great improvement, on others not so much. I contacted Tom at Vortek and was told that he no longer make a kit for the HW 85 (R 10). so I went to my friend J. Maccari and ordered a kit. Which in some guns was a better option anyway.

Just a quick note, I ordered a tuning kit from ARH. When installed it made the R10 seem like a different rifle with a very very nice shot cycle
