Hello all, hoping for some advice on a 'budget' springer I've recently acquired. Picked up a barely used Webley Valuemax .22 from my local dealer (pure impulse buy!) as the price was too good to ignore. It came with a nice Mountmaster scope & a barrel shroud suppressor which secured the deal for me.
Anyway, started using it for picking off the increasing rat population which were helping themselves to our chicken food & immediately started to dislike this gun, accuracy wasn't great & had a terrible spring twang, but after a few more hundred shots & a good lube this thing actually started to grow on me, accuracy improved no end when I found the right pellet that it liked.
Apologies for all the blurb but what I really want to know is...... has anybody replaced the spring for a nitro piston in one of these & what were the results? They're cheap enough to buy but don't really want to go to the effort of replacing the spring if the results aren't worth it. My reasoning for a gas ram is that I can leave the gun cocked for longer periods so it's ready to go when I spot one of those big hairy thieving rat buggers stealing my chicken food!
Also considering the Titan XS spring as I've been told these can be left cocked for longer periods.
