I’ve recently acquired two beautiful air rifles a boxed Walter lgu and last of the Birmingham made air rifles the Wembley longbow both mint con, I’ve put sights on both and had a little plink in the garden and I have to say that the quality and finish on the longbow is beautiful I just cannot put it down.
I adjusted my first stage on my Walther lgv and it's very short and lightweight pull but you have to tinker with it for a while but you can get them right, and I'm sure the triggers are the same, great video
Hi thanks for the video , very good . you make it look easy to strip and do it . looking to buying one of these from sheffield air Rifles . and getting the tuning kit done like you have . very impressive rifle . thanks
I would never risk doing this with the scope on.secondly the missing piston skirt would affect and lapse accuracy over time though it may show accuracy initially.third,loss of specific mass and weight in the piston will make you shift over to lighter pellets now.would like to know how this AR is doing now
I love my standard LGU so I will be hard pressed to fix something which is not broken... the long travel first stage is just something to get used to and I don't think it hurts accuracy. I will consider a spring-piston Mod if you tell me it improves power by 20% or more (I live in the US) without hurting Accuracy. Thanks for the information.
I wouldn't know about power improvements as these mods are all designed to improve the shot cycle. For a 12 ft/lb rifle, the shot cycle is astounding. Virtually no sight picture movement on firing.
Hi can you please confirm if there is any kind of Oring or seal inside breach. In my case there is an oring just on top of barrel where pellet is loaded but no seal inside breach. Is it normal?
Would he be able to do my bsa lightning xl tactical in .22. I took it out of the stock yesterday but the spring inside looks under a lot of pressure and I didn't want to take it apart incase I broke it lol. But I was trying to see if it had a top hat delrin etc but all I could see was a really thick spring. I was going to get a vmach kit. I think it's the 1st model. Any help from anyone would be much appreciated. Thank you. Mark.
hi can someone pls tell me is this rifle more accurate at 60yrds than the nickg 22mmpiston hw97?and also how did this lgu compare on the recoil testing graph ?
Is there a way to grease the o-ring with out taking the gun apart .Is there a liquid lube you can just put a few drops in the hole where the air comes out of .
+justliketolook I would imagine the quick answer to that is no. If you were to put liquid lube through the transfer port, then it would end up in exactly the place that you don't want it. It is oil in front of the piston head that causes a springer to diesel. There would be smoke galore (at best)....
I have a rws with a leather seal right now but I was going to do the o-ring conversion . the way I lube the leather is to drop 3 drops of beeman chamber oil into the transfer port. That is the way I keep it lubed. and I have had the gun since 1987 and it still works great . They call it chamber oil. www.amazon.com/RWS-Chamber-Lube-Needle-0-5-Ounce/dp/B00H7KZJO8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1449829996&sr=8-1&keywords=rws+chamber+oil. I thought you could do the same thing with a rubber o-ring seal . I have never taken my gun apart to lube the leather seal so I figured I wouldn't have to take it apart just to keep the o-ring lubed . Beeman has on the directions to put 3 drops every 500 shoots . Are you saying you can't lube the o-ring the same way? Are you saying after 500 shoots you take your gun apart and lube the o-ring ?
Wow! Well thats a new one on me mate. Every gun I have ever stripped and rebuilt - if I ever got any lube whatsoever in front of the piston seal I would have to strip it and clean it out because of dieseling and smoke. I have only ever stripped Weihrauch, AA, Walther and Theobens though...
Even If you put the lube on the oring when its apart doesn't the lube coat the cylinder walls all the way to the top after the first shot ,then once the piston is compressed back the lube is still on the cylinder in front of the o-ring and not just behind it ? Don't you want the cylinder walls to have lube in front of the o-ring so when its going about 200 mph the o-ring won't burn into the cylinder? How is it possible to keep lube behind the o-ring ?
Good point - I keep thinking about parachute seals.... To be fair, the grease that Nick provided with the O rings is thick white stuff so it will certainly act how you describe.
+emiliano echeverria - Hi mate. The only way to contact Nick G is either through facebook on groups such as the Weihruach Tuned and Modded springer group or via airgunbbs.com
@@shootingatdawn thanks for replying. I've got the 5.5mm 20 joule/14.7 fpe model (I live in the US). I'm getting about 13.5 fpe with AA 16 gr and the trans port seems to be ~2.5mm. I'm thinking about opening it up some but was told that I shouldn't. I was told that I should champher the tp from the inside. I really don't know what I should do at this point. I think I have piston bounce due to the small tp but don't really know how to determine for sure if thats what is happening. What I do know is that pulling the trigger sets off all kinds of bucking bronc in my hands. Advice is welcome.
+Paul Moorhouse - I have to tell you that you couldn't be more wrong. The Nick G piston in this gun makes it far superior to the standard gun. Everyone who has shot it is shocked by the difference!

I had him tune my .22 for me. BRILLIANT and well worth the £180.00.
Hi rjw rac, would you happen to know if Nick G could tune my LGV Master Pro with the new cylinder/piston? Any ideas how I can contact him?
Who do I send my rifel to please.
Hi thanks for the video , very good . you make it look easy to strip and do it . looking to buying one of these from sheffield air Rifles . and getting the tuning kit done like you have . very impressive rifle . thanks
Thank you for a nice video. what is the brand, model and specs of the scope?
Mtc mamba lite
It is an mtc viper.

Hi great video ,what is the benefit of a short stroke ?
Changes the shot cycle. You get a faster, happier shot cycle. Feels totally different.
I love my standard LGU so I will be hard pressed to fix something which is not broken...
the long travel first stage is just something to get used to and I don't think it hurts accuracy.

@@shootingatdawn hi,I am thinking of having my lgu tuned by nick gibney ,could you tell me how I can contact him please.enjoyed your video.

Hey. Very nice video. Like watching your other vids too.Please can you tell me something about the spring an the piston stroke of the kit? Thanks
Hi can you please confirm if there is any kind of Oring or seal inside breach. In my case there is an oring just on top of barrel where pellet is loaded but no seal inside breach. Is it normal?
Thanks for showing the tuning kit! Too bad I sold my LGU and probably this kit will not be available readily.
2lbsTrigrPull all you need to do is contact Nick Gibney mate - or Bigtoe on the forums. They both do skirtless piston conversions :)

I accident dry fired my walther terrus do you think any parts are broken?
+Tec Tyler probably not - just try it again with a pellet in. It will be obvious if something has broken.
transfer port is reamed out to 3.6 .Is this gun .22 or 177 ?

Nick Gibney. You can find him on the airgun forums
Hi would you share a link as to where to find the people or company's that sell this tune kit?
+emiliano echeverria - Hi mate. The only way to contact Nick G is either through facebook on groups such as the Weihruach Tuned and Modded springer group or via airgunbbs.com
HI AGAIN
WOULD YOU KNOW OF ANYBODY ELSE THAT DOES THE SAME TYPE OF MODS AND TUNE?
IM INTERESTED IN A TUNE LIKE THAT FOR MY RWS 460 T06
Sorry mate - no I don't
Nick G does not have a company - he is a hobby tuner. He can be contacted via the Weihrauch groups on facebook
i suggest you remove the scope before doing all that work (so it got not damaged).after the tunework you have the adjust the scope anyway
Good suggestion. But let the man do it his own way lmao. His way is ok too.
@@DocMustafa sure its isn own scope and gun
Whats scope?
