Title: One more gun going to Will Piatt.
Post by: Nomadic Pirate on October 19, 2020, 11:08:23 PM
I wasn't planning to send this one out, but after the wonderful job he did on my other .30 I have changed my mind  ;D

I had to look back and found that I got this gun exactly 4 years ago, all I did was cut the spring a couple of coils and put a depinger in,
This gun had zero problems, not a leak, nothing,
she killed several pigs and has been wonderful since day one, here a link to the history

My other .30 I got Will to give it a hot tune, this one I'm looking to get the 44gr JSB to shoot at 900 fps for a mellow shooting gun  ;D ;D

I like that 900fps range with 44.75 JSB. My Rainstorm clone Kral Mega conversion is doing 21 shots 870-900 on a 3000psi fill  with a 26" TJ barrel and a modified Rainstorm magazine.

Beautiful gun Manny. I pulled up some energy and velocity on ChairGun on the 44.75 @ 900 fps . I didn’t know if you have ChairGun?  I ran some different pellets/bullets I’ve been shooting so they are on there too including the 50. I found they are not as consistent in weight as the 44.75 and have to sort them out. I have yet to get time to shoot the new 48 hatsan brand.

Yeah Daniel, no I don't do chairgun.

Yeah my other .30 is tuned to shoot the .50 at 100 FPE, this one I'm looking for that mellow 80 FPE tune :) :) ......at the moment I have her for a few mags at 85 FPE, but Will does other things to make the package real sweet

Is Will the oldest tuner still working? He’s been around a long time and I remember calling him back when I was just getting started

Little story,

Back in the Day Will's go to gun was the FX Cyclone,

I sent Will the 1st Rainstorm he'd seen and worked on,....after that he sold the Cyclone moved to Rainstorms and as far as I know still compering Bench rest with them :)
