Fitted a new mount and test fired it on my RWS 52. Love this gun. I fitted a Vortek kit last week so it's got some settling down to do.

I’m envious of your skills!Back into the 97K today after many years without any refresh. I forgot what I had done last time. It's still has Ed Canoles original aluminum o-ring piston seal from long ago. A now discontinued JM QX4600 spring with 31 coils of .120 wire, and it still looks good. My guide set up that I made and spaced to max capacity. Cronied at 810 to 820 the other day with 8.48 pellets, thought it might be time to refresh the krytox and new oring. I'm thinking about putting bearing on the compression tube, possibly the piston and bluing the compression tube like I did on the prosport.

Either way everything will get inspected cleaned
and whatever else I decide. I have new springs, but really don't see why I should change at this point. Breech seal looks good. I would like to do something with the stock, but IDK on that one yet. Touch up any bluing spots..etc.
HW30S/R7 are the same actionAn R7 sounds like fun. Is it equivalent to a specific HW gun? Be Well, B.
It's not rocket surgery, just get in there and experiment till ya find what ya want out of it.I’m envious of your skills!
2300 is getting late on my side of the Mississippi.I’m stuck at work until 2300. No shooting for me, springer or PCP or whatever. I’ll just add this like I’m a part of the group. Haven’t had much time to shoot.

What spring do you plan on using?
maybe tomorrowNone today, Went to dermatologist today and had a small skin cancer removed from the top of my head. They put it( piece removed) under a microscope while I was there and said they got all the cancerous cells. It was what is called a basal cell sarcoma, not the dangerous kind unless you leave it untreated . We had a couple of other things to do in that town and by the time we got back home the lidocaine was starting to wear off so it was/is throbbing a bit, not really painful, more annoying so I decided against trying the new HW95.
