Tell me more about the the Air Rifle Headquarters kit. Is it really that much better than a PG4 Vortek? Thanks to everyone for all the info…
No it is not. I have had both, presently have Vortek kits in 5 HW guns, have had no problems EVER.
ARH kits have pluses and minuses just like Vortek kits.
The ARH kits have better and lower stressed springs. The lack of the outside guide allows them to use a larger OD spring, which usually offers lower cocking effort, and lower stress.
Just out of curiosity, has anyone posted any problems with the ARH kits here recently or ever? There are a few here right now with the Vortek stuff.
ARH kits require heavy tar/grease to quiet them down, this makes them temp sensitive.
I know ARH has a cult like following, but I have tried both, and Vortek kits have served me best.
Just for clarity, they do not require heavy tar to be quiet.
I don't even use it at all.
And piston seal fit has a much larger effect on temp sensitivity than tar. Unless it's packed full, then temp sensitivity is the least of your worries.
Whichever you enjoy is the best kit for you.
