hw95 vortek kit install

[stevemag]

bought the vortek kit for my 95.
out of the box the gun was smooth to cock and shot well, but VERY buzzy.
Thankfully Tom (docky 454) said he'd give me a hand with it.

Pretty much Tom did everything i and i stood around like a little kid watching him. Maybe i handed him a tool once in a while.
Tom knows what he's doing and has a great shop. I would have never been able to do this on my own.
The 2 issues that would have stopped me were ,
 1. the seal was a little too big. Tom had to size it down a little to fit into the chamber.
once that was done we came to the next  problem 
2. now I'm not are what its called but its a small black plug or guide i guess ,on the forward end of the spring. it should slip into the piston but was about 2mm too big.
Tom made a quick rig and chucked it into his drill press and shaped it with  a file.
after a couple try in went in perfectly.
Now, the best part. The smile on my face when i pulled the trigger.
BUZZ? GONE!  shot cycle?  smoother, less recoil! AND it gained about 3 or 4% fps. And its a little quieter.
Im really pleased with it and if it were not for Tom's skills  i would  never have done it .
THANK YOU TOM(docky 454)
