Guest waldorf Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 ox springs are they any good or are there better ones these days Quote Link to post
Guest waldorf Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 thats the gun ive got a hw 77 i want a new spring for it and the only 1 i know of is the ox spring what spring did you end up putting in the gun ??? Quote Link to post
mad al 146 Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 Do a Google on V Mach, Venom or Laserglide and see what that throws at you. Another really good option if it is available for the 77 would be to fit a gas ram, now that IMHO, would be awsome ..............Al Quote Link to post
Guest waldorf Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 ive looked at the gas ram but the dont make them for the hw77 now ive herd of venom are they good springs Quote Link to post
J Darcy 5,871 Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 Waldorf, get a venom kit and fit it yourself..... good , quiet springs and right up to the legal limit. we used to throw OX 's into the 's and they wrecked the guns... Quote Link to post
woodga 170 Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 i had ox springs in my for years the power was there i stopped the clang with some moly cote and some dry slide and gave the gun a complete make over even with out drilling the air port the gun was hitting 17ftlbs i killed a number of different quarrys with the and an ox spring fitted with a sliencer the gun was a dream to shoot the only down side was the gun was heavy a lot of people fit a spring and dont work on the internals hence the twang when shooting but a tuned gun is a different storey Quote Link to post

Guest waldorf Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 is there another spring better without spending £65 as the ox spring is about a tenner OX Accelerators These springs are furnace coated with Molybdenum and PTFE for rapid acceleration, up to 40% more compressed poundage than conventional main springs would this be better than the standard ox spring ???

Guest waldorf Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 or how about these Titan black mainsprings Quote Link to post
ChrisJones 7,973 Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 or you could just get a replacement 77 spring. Quote Link to post
Paul in North Lincs 15 Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 oxsprings have been around around for an age..and I haven't heard many bad reprts as yet...... ................can you get gas-rams for HW's nowadays???? Quote Link to post
Guest waldorf Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 ................can you get gas-rams for HW's nowadays???? you can but not for the 77 Quote Link to post
dougie_s410k 1 Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 have a look on the airgun BBS , venom kit will transform your hw77 alot,they reduce the lock time tremendously and come with a new piston seal/washers etc everything you need.Then you have a kit supplied by a member called BONNIE AND CLYDE they are half the price and good kits also, another good spring is a POK spring, yet again a member on the bbs known as POK.OX springs can be quite shite,had one snap in a rifle once now that was bad LOL if your going to upgrade spend the extra dosh and make your springer a goodun, Quote Link to post
