Shooting & Country TV | Gary Chillingworth | HW98 strip, lube, short stroke and TBT kit fitted

[@tbtairrifletuning1520]

Great video, but it really isn't as hard as that looks!😁 Here at TbT we are always ready to answer your questions, but we draw the line at re-glazing your conservatory!🤣

[@alantippett7602]

Oh my, oh my..... Nick, people must watch your videos. Good to see the gun back together and shooting better than standard though!

[@johngreen8693]

Wonderful comment!! The look on his face at the crash was...I thought he was about to turn it and look at it!

[@michaelmclaughlin7328]

Excellent video thank you! This has to be the most enjoyable video that I have ever watched on KZbin😂 I used to write magazine articles for Military Modelling magazine, for my first commission I was given a new plastic model kit which had not been released in the UK and I set it on fire(!) I documented this and other mistakes that I made and how I rectified them and it was all published in the magazine. The feedback from readers was that they loved it, because no one had ever admitted to making mistakes in magazine articles before. Nearly taking out your conservatory window illustrated the danger of the spring removal far better than a glib "Be careful, because the spring in under pressure" ever would! I hope that your wife forgives you eventually and that you allowed back into the house.

[@brianreeder8653]

I wouldn't change anything about your video. We can learn what to expect by watching you. It is very helpful to the average guy. Thank you sir.

[@alanmullock381]

Nice one Chilly,leave the "oh 'eck!" moments in, we're all human!🤣👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😎😎😎

[@krisdabrowski7482]

Another great video. When I saw the screwdriver going in to free up the spring I did think “oh no!”, and was right. But I’m pleased you left it in the video. It demonstrates to people the preload that these rifles can have and the danger they can cause. Better they see it on your video than experience it themselves. I guess it’s a reality video. Take care and stay safe. Cheers 👍

[@garychillingworth]

Cheers Kris, that's exactly why I left it in. If my stupidity can save someone making the same mistake, then I'm happy 😀

[@Happy-Me.]

The more I've watched the video the more I've enjoyed it! Thanks Gary. 😎

[@doktora211]

Gary, you made me smile there mate, at 13.11 with the spring bursting out, the look on your face and 'fiddley dee' exclamation were superbly funny, yer a good man, great video 👍

[@iancameron2569]

Keep your video's as they are Garry, great entertainment and well worth watching. Excellent video.

[@chrisstreeter71]

That's the funniest thing I have seen for a while. Well done Garry great video! Keep them coming.😂🤣😅

[@glynnewton5293]

Keep it real mate. Nice to see issues we could come across, although I haven't got a conservatory.

[@OffGridMadMan]

Speaking of muzzle weights, I hope I can help someone. I have a HW95K and although it's had a TBT short stroke dropped in, it still flipped and twisted terribly. I was gonna get rid. Anyway, I found a chunky 3" bolt and wrapped it in leather. Then I used camo tape and finally electrical tape to solidly fix it underneath the very end of the silencer/moderator. It weights 125g and doesn't get in the way of cocking or closing the barrel. The results were phenomenal. It went from a load of garbage to a tack driver that almost rivals my TX200. Like I say, this is just what I'v bodged to make the rifle infinitely better and I hope it helps someone 👍

[@roseybut]

Really enjoyed the TX200 video and this one as well. Most of us can shoot a gun fairly well but, like you, are not great at fettling them. But you've shown how most of us would get on if we did it ourselves. I'm going to have a go. Thanks.

[@mikesharp4033]

I can recommend TbT products. I have installed in both my TX200 & Prosport. They have been transformed from bucking bronco to pussy-cats. Be sparing on lubrication, I used the optional MoS2 Paste.

[@sunXsun40]

Again me Gary, thanks to your video I just fitted the TBT kit and *TWANG* is gone. Awesome!

[@andybrown8293]

Short stroking doesn’t increase power as it reduces the space in front of the piston(swept volume) hence reducing the power as well as the lock time. Short stroking is great for the hw80, webley tomahawk, Diana 52 and similar magnum rated air rifles.

[@lightscameraactionletstryt5132]

Thank you, I enjoyed that 🤣 There were lots of lessons for everyone to learn 🤣 I fitted a TbT tuning kit a few days ago, fortunately there were no ‘near misses’/comedy moments 🤣 The only real problem I had was getting the new spring guide into the spring that came with the rifle - it was a very, very tight fit. I found a sash clamp (about £15 from ScrewFix) was just what I needed to compress and lock the spring it in place. P.S. don’t forget the safety catch, that needs to go back in before the trigger mechanism is refitted.

[@darz3]

Enjoyed the vid, looking forward to part 2 barrel weight

[@bigwill4284]

Please keep going with this we all have to learn and the way your doing this is 99.9% the way most guys would do it don't be to hard on your self 👍

[@garychillingworth]

Cheers Will, that is my plan. I'm a shooter not a gun Smith so by watching this, hopefully people can guage if the job is within there abilities.

[@nigelhutt9921]

Keep as is, much truer to real life and the trials and tribulations a lot of us encounter. Great video, many thanks

[@jonathanpowell9180]

was considering having a go at my hw95, that wont be happening now!!! ill be paying the postage some ware really enjoyed watching your efforts👍

Brilliant video and I loved the honest approach. ATB MMMD

[@russhumphries7283]

Keep that up mate ... many people - myself included - could trip over thin air and yet think they should have a go .... lol

[@theodoroseidler7072]

So much more complicated than striping the TX200. Excellent video as always. Love the elderberries in the background.

[@neiledwards8931]

what you can use is an old piston-seal place the cylinder end on it then depress the cylinder / the seal will give you more grip

[@Happy-Me.]

19:36. We're really glad that you did put the video out Gary. 😎

[@Happy-Me.]

It's worth looking at the 2 lbs trigger site on KZbin for HW95/98 strip! I used it to strip my HW98. Very easy to follow! 😎

[@garychillingworth]

I'll check it out

[@Happy-Me.]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/apeXfq19YrqieLM He's done a few of them and it's worth looking for them on his site!

[@michaelparry9377]

Nice

[@garychillingworth]

We will have a part 2 in a few weeks, in part 2 we will shoot the rifle and test its accuracy and then take it to M.A.D for a real world test.

[@alantippett7602]

Looking forwards to that.

[@sunXsun40]

Thanks Gary, great video I really enjoyed watching it. Cheers from Slovakia!

[@robnelson840]

@@ShootingCountryTV It's great I'm new to air gunning and have started with some backyard plinking with a Remington express compact .177. I've been watching "the airgun show" with Matt and he never misses or it's edited to be like that....all well and good but I prefer the way you show it ....that even seasoned shooters miss and cock up now and again. It makes me want to keep trying. Great shows and keep it up

[@MisterBaker5]

Great vid this one. Couple of questions come to mind. 1) increasing the length of the piston would reduce the power as there is less air to compress in the chamber, yes//no? 2) no silicone grease on the piston seal..?

[@redauwg911]

great video!

[@davejohnson7178]

Great video Gary had to pause a few times as I was laughing too much. Will get the kit from TbT doesnt look to hard to do.

[@markrichens6893]

Thanks Gary. I was waiting a long time for this and I don't know how I missed it (subscribed). Bit of a comedy one. I'm glad I had my 98 professionally tuned as I would have had even more "fun" than you :) .

[@ianstinger2776]

Leave the mistakes in . Does a spring guide really quieten it down . I have seen people on utube putting kits in, but nobody lets you hear the difference of before and after . Obviously it doesn’t change the Accuracy, just the noise . As my unaltered 97 is very very accurate.

[@alantippett7602]

Yes, a well fitting guide can quieten a gun and make it smoother.

[@MudMaxMetalDetecting]

@@alantippett7602 But if it's smoother, surely that does help with accuracy?

[@alantippett7602]

most entertaining. thank you

[@rcchronicles25]

Brilliant video, very helpful and even had me laughing. Question, you said 'we set the trigger' then you went ahead and set it, but how do you do that, what did you do. Is it just pushing that thing in at the back until it clicks?

[@aravec]

Thanks for making that. Most useful.

Warts and all Gary. Makes for a humorous watch and shows we are all human. Gives me confidence to have a go at my 98. How about the same for the 77. Might of already done one doh!. Great entertainment with learning.🙈🙊🙉🙏

[@stuglen3734]

Funny as that Chilly, sort of thing I would do that lol

[@Meloncholymadness]

Do you not find the gun front heavy as it is without a muzzle weight?

[@garychillingworth]

If you are not going to watch the whole video, just watch from 13.05 and see me make a huge mistake :-)

[@DepakoteMeister]

Rather than remove the barrel, punch out out the cocking link pin and just remove that. Then fit a removable cocking link pin to make the job easier in future.

[@oldmanonamotorbikeinbucks7604]

watching others make a pigs ear of a job, is probably the best way to learn... lol great video, thanks for leaving everything in...

i don't have a conservatory to stop the trigger housing is a spare room strong enough to stop it or should i just save some money and get a conservatory ?

Spare room is fine :-)

[@berademir10]

I just tortured my hw98 with a spring change… man my 1 week old rifle has got scars like wwII mausers

[@robbanks1797]

Use to have a hw ,98 in my opinion doesn't need a barrel weight ,sone has you pick it nose dive,s , fitting a tbt kit should smooth the action out.

[@Happy-Me.]

I've been waiting for this for so long. I love my HW98 but yes it has a tendency to flip even with that heavy barrel. Great video Gary. Many thanks! 😎

[@jody01582]

Short stroking should lower power hence the longer spring to compensate

[@garywilson6146]

13:12 in. What was that on the chrono.

[@garychillingworth]

I dread to think :-)

[@hanial-kiwi503]

Can i short-stroke a FAC hw95? the recoil/kick happens while the pellet still traveling down the barrel causing inaccuracy unless I hold it hard like a fire gun.

[@ShootingCountryTV]

Drop TBT a message, I think they do a short stroke for a 95 - Gary

27:10 I hate all the tapping!! t's a shame that Weihrauch don't update the trigger block like the TX but I guess it's all about tradition!

[@6lr6ak6]

Totally the wrong way to remove the barrel, correct way is remove cocking arm, then break the barrel and remove the screws as there's no resistance it will be much easier, also when stripping any gun always use a hollow ground screwdriver that will fit the slotted screw perfectly, normal screwdrivers can very easily slip out and scratch the bluing.
