Don't over lube it like the person who installed this kit. Gained 90fps on a MK3 just by removing the excess. Went from 10.71fpe to a more respectable 14.5fpe.

Now ya know. LOL
The gun was cocked when I received it, so first thought was that the spring had lost its mojo or it had a 12ft/lb kit.

MY first springer i got at the dump . I was throwing a large projection TV out for a neighbor and a guy next to me had a trailer full of stuff "cleaning his garage " . He picked up this rifle by the barrel and was about to fling it over the cliff into the pile , I called Wait ! what is that ? he gave it to me and i looked it over , Winchester 1000 break barrel , put it up to my shoulder and ,yes you guessed it , loaded and cocked , a pellet hit a pile of tree trimmings .
about 30 yards away . Way over sprung nasty shot cycle thing . The start of my rabbit hole adventure .

The rifle he was about to toss was cocked and loaded? Wow, that's just wild, some people just don't think about consequences.

I say that fited
The bottom... is mad fof resting on flats. / Flat spring guide base or in piston more ti what youd get from arh . Crimped and flattened to rest flat .
Top .. Made to go together tophat and spring / looks vortek kit stuff ( i also seen mk1 had a metal twist in tophat as well ,)

Right, exactly. I prefer the ARH set up.... I think. The flattened spring seems to me to be the way to go, but I'm gonna do lots of testing, with the Vortek just to see what it can do. Is the ARH spring wire heftier like say .125". I'm staring to think I may have some kind of old school kit that my dad installed when he bought the gun from AA. At any rate, I have trued up and polished all the flat surfaces while waiting on the piston seal. I will eventually make my own kit. Will update you all. z
Edit: I'm actually curious to see if the confortability of the Vortek kit will be worth some of the inevitable slop that one picks up by making things more user friendly.
