Hornet MK6 for .20 HW95?

[Sqwirl57]

Thoughts on this kit? Normally I would just toss a Vortek kit in and call it a day but I would prefer to keep the factory piston sleeve. I'm shooting for 14-16fpe with either FTTs or JSB 13s. I dont have the gun yet so I'm just trying to get all my ducks in a row before hand.

I use Macarri springs in all my gun with the exception of my .20 cal. R9 &R10. My HW95HY has a Macarri Hornet, but its a .177.

I chose the Vortek Spring (no kit) in my (Beeman) custom tunes to get 13.73 JSB's over 715/720 fps. If your gun shoots H&N FTT best, the Macarri Hornet is fine. The faster you can push the JSB's up to 800+, the better for a flat trajectory.

I go Vortek in almost all of my HWs but I've seen too many reported issues with them in the NEW HW95s. My thought with going Macarri was avoiding removing the piston sleeve to assure I dont run into those same issues

Vortek sells both kits and stand alone springs just like ARH,so if you want just the spring, you can get one. His site is currently down for maintenance and from reading on another forum, John in PA posted a thread letting members know Tom broke his ankle, so things would likely be slow until he heals up.
