Short Stroking

[threelander 81]

i would go with the 15mm short stroke fitting myself

[threelander 81]

what calibre is the gun

[tomburras 2,730]

.22 the short stroke I have is 11mm.

 

Would you recommend fitting short stroke first and leaving it at that?

[threelander 81]

i would recomend fitting s stroke yes and leave it once you got it right.Do you know Nick at TBT if you do he will advise you

Hi no I don't know him but we have spoke through email. I'll aim to short stroke it get it right and then leave it. Thanks for your advice!

i just spoke to Nick and the biggest short stroke he does for the 26mm piston is 12mm so if you have the 11mm stick with that but he says it will make a big difference to the shot cycle.(for the better )

Thank you. Iv looked into it too and was going to order your reccomended stroke but found same on the tbt website. Im going to finish polishing and wait for the delrin sheet to arrive and put it all together. The kit is great! The short stroke kit had a bit of play but fitted the snap ring then the short stroke back on and bingo. I'm going to put the piston in a drill chuck and gently take it back a tiny bit and it will be perfection. What an awsome bit of kit they make well happy!
