My New Theoben Evo .177 (Converted To Spring Power)
mattybugeye replied to mattybugeye's topic in General Airgun Discussion
Bit of a update Been to Aaron wheelers today bought a beasty whierach round coil main spring was doing 19 ft lbs in a .22 hw so power should be good in my .177 may need trimming / pre loading will see when all built up Had no joy on cocking shoe it's not a part that he stocks so he is machining one up today should be done tonight / tomorrow morning Fit new piston washer and polished piston up All greased up and back together now looking forward to testing it. I've cleaned up all the damage to cylinder with dremal and reblued that bit Pics -

I've hit a few snags on way though the cocking shoe is kaput it's fallen apart and dumped metal shards inside everything so needs a full polish of everything New cocking shoe A hefty spring as the spring I've fit pushing no power at all not even bothered to chrono it lol Getting the spring in then fitting the sear clip in position going to be fun with it been .177 going to need some poke Pics below The black ram plunger I'm going to trim and use as a spring guide Got a delrin rod I'm going to sit through the gold ram plunger top with seals on to seat spring central in piston and pre -

Haha couldn't resist very nice light rifle build quality is unbelievable From what I gather it's quite straight forward (he says lol) but time will tell it's far too hard to cock and very snappy but guess gas rams are nice titan xs spring and delrin guides should see it right -
Well just picked this up a .177 evolution was offered it a while ago but decided against it as gas ram can be bit touch and go but cudnt help thinking a spring conversion would make a fantastic rifle and sure the trigger can be improved on with a polish up so went for it!! I've read about a few gas rams been converted and vice versa but anyone done one? It's hard to cock which leads me to believe it's been overfilled at some point and firing at 11.9 (tad close for me) But it's a tidy one to convert give a fair price for it so can't moan looking forward to doing this Any others using

Nice job mate looks good now was you to tempted to blue it? -
Yes they are stiff little buggers I've noticed some will only go 1 way some will go both newer ones 1 way. Get a heat gun and get it nice and hot then a big wack. Get heat gun on the threaded block on back too as will no doubt b stiff too I always grease the threads and pins when re asembele to make it easier for next time. Once stripped they easy to work on
