Well, after getting the 99 shooting mint I decided to take it out for a roost shoot. The first time using an airgun hunting since October! I arrived in north yorks exited as hell and when I checked z

No I'm just gonna bring the stuff in and have a go when on night shift this week. Theres a base clamp to secure the piston so It can't move so I'm sure it can't be too difficult. I'm just planning on

Tom a quick tip on polishing the piston mate stick the piston in a drill use wet and dry paper with a smear of auto glem on it   then set the drill away and use the wet and dry to polish it back onc

Just an update - iv got the 6mm milling bit on the way and sorted permission to use a propper drill press. Just been polishing the piston ready for the bit landing. Hopefully if it arrives this week I can get the button recesses drilled in. If not it will be in 2 weeks time until I can do it.

I'm just planning on sinking 6 shallow 6mm recesses for the buttons to sit in then carefully polish them down until there's a nice smooth fit. Theres not a lot of room to play with so the buttons will be very shallow I bet but ill give it a go anyway. If it goes wrong I'll just order a new piston.

Well apologies for another change of direction! I had it all polished ready to send off so I put it together with tbt bumslide and the wonky donky drop in kit and wow its just amazing! I highly reccomend the tbt bumslide and a mega polish! As my 85 had 100's more shots through iTS just getting better and better. Tbt bumslide is my choice of lube from now. I really couldent reccomend it ebough.
