    N/A Lightened Piston

    Another improvement that can be made to a springer is to have a proper spring guide and top hat. Close tolerance, and as long as it is allowed. My HW 97 did not have a top hat, and the guide could have been considerably longer.

    Gamo Piston seal

    I don't know where Vortek gets its stuff! I only bought a HW97 steel kit, some seals and a spring to size/order. And satisfied! If they get it from China, India or Moon, makes no difference to me. Price and quality is what matters to me!

    Gamo Piston seal

    Easy to make, i did my own. But here is this, cheap and effective, including a cone that helps installing a new seal. And the seals are great. Are softer, more flexible. https://www.airgunup.eu/product/extractor-for-gamo-g-magnum/

    They ARE a American company! Are you sure?? Don't get me wrong, am in no way affiliated with them. Just had a few transactions.

    Gamo Piston seal

    Everything Vortek sells is top quality! Didn't try yet the new 29mm seal for Gamo. But did find the one from Chech Republic to be the best so far. It is a bit softer, and it works great. A bit cheaper as well.https://www.airgunup.eu/product/piston-seal-gamo-29-open/

    N/A Lightened Piston

    A lighter piston will decrease not only the recoil, but also the velocity. That is when a stronger spring comes in. You can order from Vortek the length you want and/or coil dia. you want. I ordered a od sized, and they cut it, flat and grind the ends.

    Right. TX pistons need no locking. Thanks for sharing the picture.

    N/A Lightened Piston

    You can shorten the piston as much as you like and will reduce some weight. But will have to keep the guide slot, or there will be much more involved in this mod!

    N/A Lightened Piston

    Factory piston is 255 g. At least that's what my .22 weights. Adding some slots, i reduced the weight to 205 g. With Vortek kit, shoots 700 fps. with 14.66 gr. pellets. 16 fpe.

    Gamo Piston seal

    Thanks for posting it. I like their products. Bought a spring from them to replace the NP ram that i was not happy with. Much better with spring, JMHO.

    Aussie HW 97

    First I thought it was a custom muzzle, but then there was the note why they have them holes. Here (Canada) airguns are classified as fire arms , and suppressors are prohibited. Not that they make any difference on air guns. Was just wondering if the factory provides the HW's with them holes, in...
