Robo46 40 Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 just got my hw 97 back together .its got Welsh willy spring kit fitted all polished internals.what can I say it makes a Right row when it's fired .only fired it a few times I've got to get power checked but I don't think I will use it much .think I will stick to the airwolf it's like a Bentley and the 97 is a tractor.i know I am missing the point with springers but after using a pcp a springer is like going back to the stone age . 1 Quote Link to post

villaman 9,980 Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 No offence ,but I think you have become a lazy shooter with the PCP and don't for get the 97 needs 1000 pellets put down the barrel 1 Quote Link to post
risingfriend 1,042 Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Most of the noise from a spring rifle is what you hear when your head is on the rifle get someone else to shoot it when you are 10yrds away Its never going to be as quiet as a pcp with silencer attached though. If you have a new kit fitted then the rifle needs atleast 2 tins through her just to bed in. I would suggest you get it over a chronograph also if you do not know the power Stick with it and it will improve your shooting technique and keep you honest. 2 Quote Link to post

bigmac 97kt 13,736 Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 RIGHT , if it is making a right racket when fired after you have fitted a new spring kit then some thing is wrong iv got a v mach kit fitted to mine and a welsh willy trigger and she is so sweet to shoot and next to no recoil and next to no noise at all im not taking the p*ss but did you use a good grease on the spring and some times to much grease or to little will make her noisy you have to get the ballance right with this . Its just a case of taking her apart a few times to get her right and as vm has say,d put 2 or 3 tins through her and give her a polish to Tune And Polish Springers Or Not have a look at this hope you get it sorted bud atvbmac :thumbs: 2 Quote Link to post

Stick to the Bentley and I'll take the noisy old tractor off your hands for £50!!! As above, either something wrong or run a few tins of pellets through it and let it all settle down. 3 Quote Link to post
barrywhite 282 Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 they are different . if you can shoot a spring gun they can be better than a pcp sometime , in different situations . 3 Quote Link to post

tillylamp 1,810 Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 hi, I don't use my spring air rifles any more they just sit in the cupboard, as I only use my pcp now, for me personally I have no reason to go back to the spring, I just love the pcp's, a pcp has so much more quality's over the spring now, there quitter, quicker to load between shots, 10 shot mags, smaller gun, bolt action, no recoil, and so accurate, its a no brainer for me, I know a lot of people are going to disagree with me over this, as to keep up the good shooting with the spring, but when they switched to the pcp I've never looked back. tl 1 Quote Link to post
villaman 9,980 Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 2000 thousand tins of pellets @ £9 = £18000 for that you could pay for a tune 1 Quote Link to post
Robo46 40 Posted February 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 £18000 that's some tune haha Quote Link to post
Robo46 40 Posted February 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 One thing that really does become apparent when you have been used to pcps then shoot a springer is how the gun moves about .from the age of 15 I always shot springers didn't give recoil much thought but now I can feel all the movement the gun makes.i do take my hat off to all the guys that can shoot springers well 4 Quote Link to post
