  5. FN19 Leaking Air!

    in General Airgun Discussion

    Posted

    Hi all,

    My FN19 has started leaking air at the breech end of rifle, probably the cylinder or valve seal. I think it needs a good service.

    I'm up in Yorkshire for a few months, are there any good gunsmiths anyone can recommend around the Doncaster area?

    Cheers...

  6. AA Pro-Sport . 177?

    in General Airgun Discussion

    Posted · Edited by Gaoler

    Well, my mate came round today with his new AA Pro Sport in .177. I had a go and it is so nice to shoot & shoulder from the box and bloody accurate. 30 yards out, 5 pence piece groups, and it's only a couple of weeks old, not even bedded in yet!

    To the point, I'm now having second thoughts about the HW80 .177 (my New Year treat to myself)!

    That shoots so well from the box, quiet, no twang, and definetly doesn't need tuning if it continues as it has started.

    People's thoughts on the Pro-sport?

    Cheers...

    did a brilliant job on my .22 80 a few years ago.full v glide kit,sleeved also.made it a bit to good to be honest and it did not feel like a springer after that and i sold it on.just took away the feel of a springer and made it fell to much like a pcp to shoot.

    Cheers,

    Where is he located, does he do other tune kits?

  9. HW80 .177 Tune.

    Hi all,

    My New Year treat to myself is to buy myself the above rifle. I've had my springers tuned by AGRTuning previously, Tony has since retired. The PG3 Vortek kits have tranformed my 97 & 95 into cracking rifles.

    Can anyone recomend someone to tune to my new HW80 & to put an after market tune kit in at the same time?

    Cheers

    Happy New Year...

    When I bought my HW95 in .177 (Brand New) I shot it for about 2 months before I sent it to agrtuning for a PG3 Vortek kit fitted and tuned, when Tony chrono’d it, it was kicking out nearly 15ft.lb, so it was illegal from factory. I contacted Hull Cartridge and Weirhauch, both did not seem bothered that they had sold me an illegal gun.

    I must say, now the PG3 Kit is fitted the rifle just gets better & better, and is so smooth to shoot & cock.

    Hi everyone,

    I today took the 97K .22 out, I have previously used Weihrauch pellets in the gun with good results. I tried 2 different kind of pellets today as I have finished my Weirhauch ones, the H&N FTT 14.66 gr in 5.53 & AA Field Diablo 16 gr 5.52.

    Both grouped extremely well, nothing really between them with the H&N a gnat’s c***k ahead on consistency, the H&Ns where noticeably tighter seating the pellets. What was interesting was the zero did not need adjusting between both brands, at one point I was alternating each brand after each shot, with good results!

    That’s never happened to me before in all my years of air gunning, even using the same pellets in a different tin needs a slight adjustment normally….anyone else had this?
     

    Cheers…

    Hi all,

    Tony Burton has now retired from AGRTuning, I've used him a few times after being recommended his services from this forum.

    He tuned both my HW Springers and installed Vortek PG3 kits. A very knowledgeable, helpful and all round good bloke. 

    His services & advice will be a loss to us, hope he enjoys his retirement ? ...

    Dry fireing it will not harm it 

    But tell him not to make a habit of it 

    As it will curse damage in the end snapped springs and so on 

    Tell him he can look but not touch 

    ???

    Atvbjimmy ???

    Cheers Jimmy, I was a bit worried!

    He's learnt his lesson me thinks, we went out today again, he got 3 rabbits & 3 squizzers with the 97 for 7 pellets, 2 shots to finish off a squizzer.

    Thanks everyone...
