Air Rifle Tuning - Why the Delrin

[@Curious-x8k]

Nice explanation, much better than so much metal to metal contact.

Cheers for the simple, matter-of-fact explaination of the reason to 'glide comp. tubes (pistons too) Geoff : - Sadly, my 4 x Weihrauch's are still running as standard, metal to metal..... aside from delrin guide kits + other tweaks, de-burring, upgraded spring + piston seal, trigger unit/sear and pin polish etc. etc. If I had a lathe - that I can operate - they'd have been done years ago..... But I'm a Northern skinflint who a) has no room for even a hobby lathe, and b) I'm too tight to get them professionally tuned by a high-end fettler like youself. Finally, on the workshop temperature front : - I hope you're referring to 14.2 degrees F?. 'Cus, 14.2 degrees C is to me - pretty comfortable (my house is currently 12 degrees C, and seems fine, albeit with 2 fleeces on!)..... I though you were/are a hardcase biker??. *Only Joking Of Course*, and, I would be wary of saying that to your face (I don't fancy having mine rebuilt !). Spring is now close around the corner biking-wise = warmer/drier tarmac imminent, and, longer days : Thank Feck!.

Hi Geoff!! How do you attach the delren bands on the compression tube? Did you also machine a slot in the compression tube for them to set in, or are they just pressed fit and then machined down? Keith

Not sure if I liked and subbed because of the air rifle content or the comment at the end about the dog, LOL!
