Neat tip! Thanks for sharing.
Sounds like my coil spring powered Hatsan Mod 125 super magnum would be a perfect candidate.

Just finished this up on an XS46u. All I can say is WOW. What a difference in the smooth cocking stroke and feels like lees recoil. Smooth stroke and very quiet. Haven't chronied it yet but it feel really nice. I would assume I lost a little fps from the spring being snug in the piston now.

Don't know if this will help, but the spring actually expands when you cock it. If you cut the sleeve so the edges just touch, (or not), you don't need overlap when making an internal sleeve. I like the idea and would like to see what the long term "rubbing" damage, to the material is.

I didn't over lap any material. Left about an 1/8 inch gap. I'll tear it down again after a tin and look things over. Just shot about 100 at my indoor 10m range with no problems.

What I do with these is cut the top in a saw tooth pattern and then tuck the ends in between the top hat and the spring so that the top hat holds the plastic in place.

A tin is okay, but I'm talking like at 2,500 or better, to see some real indications of the future wear... If ya know what I mean.

This trick was passed along to me by Mark 611 back in the late spring 2013 and was jokingly called a ghetto Tune and the name stuck don't have time to find the original thread to post since I'm at work now and just popped in for a second

Thanks for this tip, I did it to my Gamo, Big Cat 1200. It was easy to do and I am very pleased with the reduction in noise and vibration.
