This is the 22mm kit from Nick gibney for the HW97. It shoots really sweet as you can see from this video which shows the installation of the kit and the initial shots. I will be checking the power and finalising my thoughts on accuracy and consistency once the gun has bedded in but first impressions are very good.

Would have been nice to know the cronny figures and comparisons to the standard and v mach kit

Anton - I would love to catch up but I very much doubt I am going to be able to get there. At best the only day I can make is the Thursday. As for comparisons with my other tuned guns - I want to put a tin of pellets through it to let it bed in before comparisons start.

Hi, The WH97K seems to make less noise than the original version. And the recoil is much more attenuated, and much more controllable. Please indicate the links where we can purchase this type of kits.

AA Express pellets are the best Springer pellet. They work in all 5 of mine! Clean power and flat trajectory.

i think you rereinventing the HQ match springers like the walther 55 .lgv special weihrauch hw 55 match , with the downbuild of the springpiston system

Just had one of these kits fitted by Nick, how long did it take to bed in, I've put over 500 hundred pellets through it, chrono reading low 700 fps up to 763fps with Exacts 4.52, got bit of a twang too, any advice please.

Is there anywhere I can get one of those kits? Looked all over...

True long stokers have the cocking link re engineered so the piston can move further back ,

HI with reducing the swept volume down from 26mm to 22mm [ nick gibney mod ] it look`s like its a sweet shooting rifle , but I think you will be lucky to make 11.5 flb on them mods . with the sound / recoil of that rifle and the swept volume it makes I think 9.5 flb should be about it [ all right for hft though ] atb john

Shootingatdawn out of all the piston and sleeve combinations you have come across and tried which is your favourite and why. Are you also able to provide any costs of each of the kits? Many thanks

Day to day use is the Paul Short titanium kit. Normal parachute seal and great shot cycle. That PS kitted gun is the basis for my project gun with the engraving etc. The NickG 22mm gum is actually a little softer to shoot but no bear trap and o ring seal so in my eyes requires a little more care in handling and maintenance etc - that said, a sublime shot cycle. As for prices - you really need to contact the tuners and ask their current rates.

Chronograph figures would have been a better video, the stuff is probably lighter cos it’s not as robust and engineered to last for yrs , is my guess , but if it keeps you busy and active guess that’s enough , when I buy one it won’t be touched unless something breaks , cheers Shane uk 🇬🇧

A better mousetrap? I reckon Weihrauch know what they're doing. If they wanted to make a 10ft.lb. narrow piston rifle I reckon they would! Nice to know the black art of tuning springers lives on.

@joekelly9369 5 жыл бұрын

Its definately lower on power but thats a narrower air cylinder like an old 77

@sme4969 5 жыл бұрын

the older postons was 25mm the newer are 26mm.. and how can you say it is down on power ? he hasn't chrono'd it and you can't go by the sound 😲 😂😂

I think you should have weighed the Pistons with/in their sleeves

@roberttaylor6075 4 жыл бұрын

Its about piston weight, not comp tube, the lighter piston will travel faster reduce lock time and recoil, the heavier piston will be slower and recoil more due to its weight.
