Marksman 934 Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 I don't normally "tune" other people's rifles but I've done a couple for Jimmy namely his 97kt but more famously the "Crowsport" and he has been more than pleased with the results which could be why I got a message from him asking if I could do anything with a .22 BSA Lightning. When he brought it it was rough cocking, twanged, recoiled and only doing an inconsistent 6-8ftlbs with a trigger that Arni himself would have had trouble with. I immediately thought the spring had snapped or there was damage to the piston seal but on getting it apart it was like a new rifle inside. Anyway I set about de-burring, smoothing and polishing the internals, & sorting the trigger took a few hours to sort completely. Power was set at 10fpe to allow for bedding in but with a much smoother cocking action, trigger release & firing cycle with as little recoil as I'd hopes for is still returning a very consistent 4fps spread as witnessed by Jimmy himself when he collected it yesterday.....If he's happy I'm happy!! 6 Quote Link to post

Marksman 934 Posted February 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Cheers Steve.... I've still been about just not really had anything to comment on mate, although it's great to see new names etc, posts have been a bit repetitive, I've gave up on most of the other forums altogether as 90% of them people are "always right" and get the hump when they're proven wrong. I get most of the banter from the various Facebook groups and have personally met and shot with a good few guys through those too.... But anyway I'm still here and will always help out where I can!!

Marksman 934 Posted February 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 I've not released any photos of the 98 I'm busy with just yet but you've seen the stock so far and it's only had 3 coats of oil..... I'll crack on with the action this weekend hopefully it will turn out the same as the 77 Darryl 1 Quote Link to post
