Greetings all!
Just getting back into air guns as a way to teach my kids good marksmanship. Gunpowder and lead have become sooo expensive! We have been having a ball with a new low priced nitro crosman so I decided to tear down my old RWS 36. The seal was a mess and the spring was in three pieces. The guy I bought it from years had told me he'd dry fired and that it had lost some power. Heh, when I tried shooting it last week, three pellets piled up near the muzzle before I realized I wasn't simply missing the target :-) So now it's in pieces and I'm looking into which spring or tune kit makes most sense. Vortek and Marrucci keep coming up; are there any I have missed? Any advice from you experienced shooters is most welcome.
I've enjoyed reading your posts and am looking forward to adding to the group in any way I can.
Thanks for adding me as a member,
Bob

Greetings, Bob, and welcome to the GTA!! I can't tell you which spring kit is better but I bet a lot of the others could.
