Critter99 and your M48 w/ vortek

[ray in wi]

Hey Bud
If you don't mind me asking, did you put the regular kit or the Soft Shot EZ cock kit in your 48? I plan on trying one of them for something different, having used the JM kits. No problem with JM stuff just wondering "what the buzz is about".
Thanks
Ray

I used the regular full power kit.  Its a .177 so it still under 20 FPE.  Barracuda Match right in 880s with a fresh seal in breech and compression tube.

Not sure how old yours is but a spare breech seal is good to pick up at same time since you are paying shipping. 

I like it enough that I ordered another kit for my D54 last Thursday...waiting on it to ship now

Thanks for the reply. I haven't heard of any one using the ez cocking kit yet so I will probably order one of those at the end of the month. I just bought it used and although it feels just fine, the new kit  makes think Hmmmmmm.....

is that the 22 cal T01 recently on the yellow?  I would go fullpower on a 22 unless you need to restrict it to 20FPE for target use

definately get a breech seal in tne order

I wish my 11/1994 T01 had been a 22 cal

Just a different thought......my 48 t06 was a very powerful and accurate 860 fps 22 with 14.3 CPHP.....with my tuning, I asked John in PA to detune it....it now fires CPHP at around 730......like a tx or 97......a pure pleasure to cock and shoot....and can kill anything within 100 ft.......

I'm detuning everything to make it a pleasure........

Nope it's a .22 w/ the TO5 trigger. Shoots very nice as it is. Stock I believe. I was thinking more like Escondido1 as far as how sweet this one would shoot  with the ez kit. I have a few hammer AR's so a tune to make it shoot like a TX, hmmmmm. Never shot a TX but have heard of their reputation. Has me thinking about it.

JM soft kit in the 350 .177 classic make the gun more manageable and still is a powerful gun at 810 fps with the 8.5 gr. Even smoother with the 10.5gr close enough to 700 fps. I think you will like the soft kit very much. Some may think the detune is a waste for the 350 but I like it. Still not like the light weight rem npss or the trail.
