Piston/compression tube buttoning and precision honing of compression tube

[JohnnyPiston]

Earlier this year I sent a couple 97 compression tubes and pistons to Paul Watts to have the tubes precision honed on his Sunnen hone and have everything buttoned up. 

Recently I was surprised to see that Paul made a youtube video showing his work on my parts. Very cool stuff and worth watching if you're into springers. Video link here:

I'm looking forward to the next 2 videos in the "97 series": 97 compression tube buttoning and 97 compression tube honing.

I'll share those here once they're ready.

Nothing better than a Paul Watts full tune. He is performing his magic on a fwb 124 of mine and after 6 months I'm getting quite antsy, good news, i've been told, it will be headed home soon.. Very excited to be able to shoot this rifle with his tune. If you have never shot an Paul watts tuned rifle you don't know what you're missing!

Cheers

Thanks Jonathan,

I found that to be interesting. Appears to be more intricate than that of a FWB 124 tune. Look forward to when its up and running.

Cheers
