Hi beerthief, I have the Weihrauch HW90, which has an adjustable power gas ram. I can also confirm that it is fun to play with the ram pressure to tune the performance and accuracy. Check out "Best fittings" out of England for an adaptor for air pump attachment...

You may be able to learn some things about the HW90 trigger unit by watching the following videos. Good luck.

Hey Spiral, Groovy. Thanks for answering my questions. I think the MBs you are making look quite good. I do believe I will give it a try. Thanks again for sharing the idea.

Hi SpiralGroove I would like to try making a muzzle break such as this. You seem to suggest the muzzle break can prevent rust, but removing the break after some time to realize the barrel has rusted underneath has been one of my concerns. Have you ever taken one off after a period of...

Wow! That is awesome, Sqwirl57. I am certain we are all eager to see the video and learn what you have to teach us about making spring guides. Your willingness to put in all that work to make a video shows what an asset you are to this community. I have had a hard time finding videos on...

Thanks Bustachip, for weighing in and sharing your experience. I like the tip about keeping the guide material supported in the chuck and extending into the spindle while drilling the interior. I will have to measure the piston latch rod and see if I can get a reamer to match. Should the...

Thanks for your reply above, Sqwirl57. I will have to read it a few more times and may come back with some questions. Fortuitous indeed that you will be doing this very job tomorrow! Perhaps you would be willing to take some pictures of the work and your set-ups while making the guides for...

Hello Airgun Nation I hope you all can help me learn about making custom spring guides for spring piston air rifles. I thought I could reduce my learning curve before the chips start to fly by tapping into the collective knowledge of members here who have made custom spring guides. I would...

I can appreciate the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it," mentality. Unfortunately this one is leaking. Thank you for offering the guidance though. Let us know if you figure out how to sort yours out.

Those are all good ideas. Thanks again for answering my questions and offering suggestions.

Thanks again for the effort to get that information for me. It gives me a better sense of what size the rings should be. (I understood your comment to mean the washers/ rings should be approximately .016"-.025" thick.) Any thoughts on using Nylon washers instead of the PTFE material you...

Thanks, jkingrph. It was your post that set me looking for more information on the teflon alternative to the foam wiper. I appreciate you taking the time to reply to this thread and offer some suggestions about how to proceed. Thanks for the information and help.

Thank you, EmptyTin_Tim, for your reply and the link to the parts. I ordered the valve directly from Daisy, and have a good selection of o-rings from which I am hoping to find the correct sizes when time comes. I was trying to avoid ordering the whole reseal kit just to get the foam piece. I...

Hello Airgun Nation. I am the proud new owner of an old Daisy 717 and am seeking knowledge about resealing it. I have seen some reference to replacing the foam wiper with teflon rings. Can anybody tell me more about this modification so that I can give it a try? I am afraid I am uninformed...
