Tuning

[jimtoon]

Hi guys, just picked upmy new w97 undercover air rifle, looking for recommendations for having it tuned, preferably within driving distance of Newcastle-upon-Tyne

Hi I believe you are talking about HW97 before spending money on tuning you should run over the chronograph and see how it shoots

 

[knipescar]

Personally I would shoot it as standard for while if anything it will give you a base for any improvements ...

Good point, how will feel the improvement without firing it as standard

Shooting it for a while will give you a chance to see which direction you want to take with any improvements, without achieving that there is little point imo.
Always try to make improvements that suit your disciplines and style.

Stage 1 is An easy DIY project tbh

I shot mine for 10 years before going inside. Then I realised just what the work i did meant to the gun.
Put a couple of tins through it at least.

Hi Mate lot, can you point me in the direction of a video or instructions on how this is done, we may have something in common, I was 45 in Arbroath

Yeah, I agree, I will give a few tins before looking to tune it

As per Tinbum... but give the ole piston a reet polish and invest in a set of Brit Seals...

Thanks guys. @jimtoon watch the videos linked above and ring if you have any questions. I am against running a gun with the factory grease as it is cack! Strip, degrease and relube it and you might not even feel the need to tune*


* You will though. It’s like an illness!

Once that Bumslide penetrates the skin... you'll be a Full Tune Junky
Just don't over lube the 97 as acts like Viagra...
See...

Ps the all new F³50X MODERATOR Made in England

I’ve just fitted one of the tbt maxi pro kits to my hw97 and I can’t recommend it enough.

I was always struggling with this rifle. Thing jumped in the air when I fired it. Hitting my target at 50 yards standing unsupported with it now.

Hi guys, just picked upmy new w97 undercover air rifle,

It's a TX operating behind enemy lines?

TX SAS Special Edition. Go Claire !

Yeah, I agree, I will give a few tins before looking to tune it

Minor point maybe but......

Dismantling your rifle is likely to invalidate any guarantee.

Shoot it for a while first anyway, I suggest.

Jim, been mentioned to death, but get your " bearings" for a good few sessions & tins of pellets, first. Get a benchmark to go by...what is it you don' t jell with ( if anything) ? A high% of folks ( my guess) use a " tune" ( kit, which is not a " tune") to alleviate/ stifle " twang", which has no bearing on accuracy. Watch a good few varied videos, get to know, in layman's terms, what goes on inside your gun. Oft times, a simple cleaning & proper lubrication application works wonders. Shoot often & shoot happy.
