andyfr1968 772 Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 HW do not use choked barrels, they never have. Pretty much any competant engineer will be able to do the work, it's really not black magic. So long as the barrel's cut square (as said) and there are no burrs left, it will be fine. Re-crowning's as simple as putting a 45 degree de-burring tool to take out the crap left by the cutting on the rifleing. It'll take 5 mins to take it out, the engineer won't charge more than a few quid then 5 mins to put it back in. Job done! Quote Link to post
targa 5 Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Simple solution without recrowning and other problems: Pull the barrel out off the breach and cut him of on the other side Did it with mine and works perfect, You can also keep your front sights intact that way. easy.

Ratter 0 Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Ive got an here mate, same prob as you.. had all kinds of work done to mine apart from getting the barrel chopped and recrewed, check forum just put a topic up.. id leave it.. it spoils the balance and will make the rifle very pellet fussy.. its more hassle than its worth mate. all i do is remove the silencer if i am going to use it.. hardly do but mines tuned.. and take the allen key with me.. or your can just buy a logun mat.. biggest feckin rifle case ive used and its a b*****d to lug in and out of the car.

T78 4 Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 it won't spoil the balance if a silencer is still on,in fact i'd say it'd return balance to it. i can't see it being very balanced with full barrel AND a silencer! Quote Link to post

Huh? when i put the silencer on my its balance shifts.. i dont use it for that reason and also because it doesnt need it.. most of the noise comes from the action on a springer, it makes it sound even louder than it is because your ear is right next to it qaurry 25-30 yards out wont be non the wiser.. getting the barrel cut will still mess with the overall balance, because your removing weight, adding a silencer wouldnt nessersery balance things up again, depends how heavy the silencer is amongst other things.. l Quote Link to post

Them 95k are nice arent they mate.. i had one in .177 v-mach s1 tuned.. prefer the myself because of the weight.. but them 95ks are good for the dosh. pic of my old one Edited January 16, 2009 by Ratter Quote Link to post
