andy s410c 61 Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 The Relum Tornado,memories,memories.My hunting mate in the mid ,s had one what i can remember it was ok It will (probalies) have a leather washer piston head which may need replacing & a new spring maybe's??. I owned a HW35 at the time & i can remember the Tornado being accurate,reasonably powerfull & my mate used to pour 3 in 1 oil into the cylinder so the smoke spewed out of it after each shot & he'd say "see my gun's more powerfull than yours" the joys of dieselling .
