Just another +1. Great work. I'm cleaning the garage to decide if I enough space for a lathe.
Great video. Both the before and after. I’m in the process of taming my “beast” as well.
Very nice job Kevin, good explanations as you progressed, and only 2 try's to get that guide right is excellent in my shop and experience.Your results are impressive.Looking to seeing more of your work and videos,steve
Great video & nice job, Kevin!
Very nice job. Glad FWB changed the design of the spring guide from the old sporters. Wish they would have stayed with replaceable front site apps. Happy that your Sport is shooting much more to your liking.
Nice work Kevin! Your rifle turned out great, well done👍
I found a picture of the OEM piston seal in these rifles. I pitched everything I had for these so no real pictures from my shop, however if you look close, the I.D. Of this seal lacks the button machining interface, and is just slightly tapered to grab the button in the piston. https://www.pyramydair.com/product/piston-seal-for-feinwerkbau-sport?a=8503All 4 rifles I went through had the same seals, cup faced boot which has issues with oversized and out of round tubes. All rifles of mine, the piston would free fall and not hold air.I ran the ARH SS Vulcan seals in mine, parachute style. They now offer a dedicated seal that is oversized 30mm. These will seal better. One other item one can address, the piston skirts rattle in the tube and can benefit from buttoning.I do wish these were offered in the 25-26mm tubes, 750-825 FPS, and I think they would have been a home run. As a lifetime shooter, I continue to struggle with the “power hungry” market here, or perception of. And I think the designers made an attempt to satisfy what they thought the market here would want.Jason
Sorry I'm a little late but great video and post. I'm new subbed to your channel Kevin. This thread needed / deserved a bump. I'm learning to work on airguns for fun and self reliance. I'm gonna try to get my Dad's old Turnado lathe up and running. It's under a tarp in the barn 30 miles from me but my gears are turning in my head.
Great video that I have already book marked. My 124 Sport has these mods in it's future. Maybe by then someone will offer Delrin spring guides for it.Thanks again!
