Rake aboot 4,935 Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 You`d be as well taking the Ox spring, and throwing it at the rabbits ! lol never liked them mesell A good gunsmith will beable to match a spring to the gun,, doubfull you would ever find an original spring.

donnyc 1,203 Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Ox spring will be shite ..Keep the gun standard Quote Link to post
andyfr1968 772 Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 FAC or not the HR81 wasn't really made to shoot over 12 and unless you know exactly what you're doing you'll ruin a a lovely old springer. As above, forget an OX. Keep it standard Quote Link to post
gunpower 0 Posted October 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 i have put a few washers in it and its never shot better i love it even more now thanks guys Quote Link to post
barrywhite 282 Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 I dont think the air cylinder is big enough to get more power than 12 ftlbs .A stronger spring will just make the gun recoil .The extra powerfull ox spring will just cause wear and tear on the gun .If the spring gets to strong you will lose power because the piston will bounce back before the pellet has left the gun .If your gun is shooting better with washers it may be shooting at the max power now .The gun was made to be a 12 ftlbs gun . So to get the gun to shoot well at 12ftlbs is the best you can do .To get more power you need a different gun. Quote Link to post
andyfr1968 772 Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 What's this thing with washers in springers? It's a load of old bollox. You've not changed the amount of power in the spring in any way, all that happens is that the pre-load is increased and that does not affect power at all. What does happen very often however, is that the trigger doesn't engage properly. If it's shooting better it's down to the fact the gun's been stripped, cleaned and re-lubed. mate. Quote Link to post
Rake aboot 4,935 Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Oh dear !! You`ve fell at the first hurdle mate,, Don`t tune a gun above 12 ft lbs without an FAC,, 5 yrs standard sentence,, instant expantion in arsehole circumferance Don`t talk bollocks about washers etc,, it shows you do not really know what yer on aboot !! hahahahaha 1 Quote Link to post
gunpower 0 Posted October 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 well it was shooting at 10.5 lb now its shooting at 11.7lbs so yh the washers DID work and now its never been better like i sed before Quote Link to post
