I did some accuracy testing this morning, and dialed in the trigger. This trigger is better than my TH, and the groups are just as good. I'll have a report up soon.

Going to have to look into some of the coatings out there and see what might work. Hi Paul, you mean your going to re do your stock finished coating on the 125th, the bed liner is super durable and looks good far as all the ones i ever seen, I am going to do the 125 sniper,.25 i just received today, in that, possibly if the cool black doesn't grow on me more.

Hey Mike4888blues, I did put in a polished washer for the spring to turn on to reduce torque. I also polished the spring ends using my 2X78 grinder and a course, medium and fine scotchbright. Then I polished it to high shine using black, then green buffing compound on my buffer. I made my washer using a piece of 3/32 O1 tool steel that I heat treated and tempered back to around 58rc. I then hand sanded it up thru 2000 grit and polished it out on the buffer. I got it perfectly flat by taping my sandpaper to a granite block that has been machine ground. Then hand rubbing the washer up thru the grits until it was complete. Over kill since I didn't do anything to the inside of the piston but it makes me fell better knowing it's flat. Finished up by using Macarri lubes when I put it all back together. By the way I used your post for my tear down guide, I certainly appreciate you posting it as this airgun is unlike any I other tore down before in so many ways.
