It feels so good to get that off my chest. ;-)
One of the symptoms is constantly searching out ways to improve the performance, and accuracy of the airguns. In that pursuit, I've come across a design for an O-Ring sealed piston cap. Someday I'd like to make them myself but for now I'll need to find a talented machinist to make one for me.. the finished cap will look something like this
Or this if done in Delrin or as is the case here, in Moly filled 6/6 nylon rod.
This is one of Ed's shop drawings for a similar 26mm piston he did some time ago.
The gun I'd be working with, an HW97K has a sliding compression tube and piston which I could send to whoever feels like tackling the project... the compression tube looks like this:
and the piston looks like this:
Looks like a challenging prospect to me but as I said, I'm not a machinist. What say the collective? Thanks for looking.
