The HC had a JM tesla seal. Fit was not too tight. You can size them down a bit but got to be careful on your dia or it will start to fuel from the lubes. Also need to check tube dia runout. These are high end guns but it can vari from one to another. Fixed honing is the only way to make it perfect.I can do this for anyone who would like it done.

I agree!I should buy another tube and send it your way The way the TX is designed, one can buy a tube without having to buy an entire action unlike most other gun designs.

It is a nice design. Gladly do it for you @ no charge. After all were all family. LOL
Thats what its all about
I have seen the same thing Rob. Last few kits have been under powered.I'm going to send Tom an e mail.My TX has a brand new HO kit and she's getting 11.3 fpe.An SHO kit in my Pro Sport is putting out 830 FPS with 8.4 JSBs.
Both my TX and Pro Sport were slinging the JSB 8.44 @885fps out of the gate with brand new SHO Kits. I haven't Chrony'd them since so who knows if they dropped like Joe's. I'll have to bust out the Chrony soon to see where they're at.
Sent an e mail to Tom at Vortek in regards to low power numbers today.Will post his response.Good day Vortek dudes!!In the past 2 years I have ordered about 10 PG2 kits and have been very happy with them!I have a question in regards to power numbers.I have an SHO kit in a brand new Pro Sport and am getting 830 FPS with JSB 8.4.HO kit in a TX is producing 11.2 fpe.I have an HO kit in a 97 that has over 40,000 rounds thru that is producing 860 FPS with JSB 8.4.It seems to me the HO kits that were installed last year are getting higher power levels than the newer SHO and HO kits......kits purchased in the last 6 months or so.I'm also finding a loss of power as the kits break in....pretty substantial losses.All the kits purchased have been installed by a pro that many shooters swear by.I'm a member of the GTA forum and there are a lot of us experiencing the same thing.Thanks in advance for your response!Joe
