The new kit comes with comes with a new spring so you don’t have to cut coils off the factory spring. It supposed to be a lot smoother shot cycle. Kinda hoping someone here has tried it.
www.airgunnation.com I think I'm gonna be the test dummy for it, I have nothing to lose. I might use the original guide/tophat to keep the weight in the piston, of course I will have to shorten it to make room for the delrin guide at the muzzle end.
Yep, I read this post a while back and decided to leave it alone, seemed like a lot of trial and error. Mine is a .22 cal. so light pellets are not an option. I am going to try to use the factory steel guide/tophat to keep more weight in the piston.I know nothing about this kit, but have had an HW 45 for many years (actually a Beeman P1 from the first year they were made) and love it. You might find this thread by expert tuner "Stevoo" of interest. Note in particular his comments on optimum piston weight, which was adversely affected by whatever kit he was referring to back in 2020.
Another key to HW 45 happiness (discussed by Stevoo in another thread which I can't find!), is simply to use light pellets. Faster shot cycle = less recoil effect = more pleasant shooting and better accuracy. Mine loves JSB 7.3 Exacts.
Tuning the HW45/P1
I wanted to share what I believe to be the best way to tune the HW45 pistol after approx 30 years of owning and tuning. First, you can just leave it stock and shoot it. If you resist adding any additional lubrication, it will eventually expel, or burn off the excess lube put into it by the...
I jiggled this up on the inner screen.
I got mine from AOA back in 2019, it was extremely dry, no worries about dieseling. It came with low power only, so I sent it back and they put both power levels in it. Came back that time just as dry. It’s weird to me to hear that some come with some grease in them. I did have to readjust the trigger which was much easier than I expected, probably the best one out of all of my springers.
