I have a HW35L with leather piston seal and I am thinking of changing the seal to a modern one. Would like the input from the members of the pros and cons of switching. JimmyV
HW35L
- Thread starter JimmyV
- Start date
I watched some Brit on Youtube that discouraged doing that and said that the performance was not matched to the new configuration and the gun did not shoot well. Actually, he was talking about an HW30. He suggested putting about 1/8 inch of neatsfoot oil in a dish and standing the piston up in it with the leather submerged for 24 hours. The leather would absorb the oil and restore itself. Mind you, I know nothing about this, just passing it on. You might want to cruise through some of the UK airgun forums.

Hw80 leather piston seal adaptor
Does anyone have any experience with the screw on piston seal adaptors to convert an early hw80 to a modern seal? Also are the screw on hw35 and 80 adaptors the same or model specific. Thanks for your help 😁
