Bigjimknickers Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 His tuning list is very very long! It sounds fantastic all the things he does to the rifle for what seems not a lot of money! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigjimknickers Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 The tune includes the following: The rifle is stripped down to its component parts; they are inspected for any wear and overall quality. In most cases parts can be machined or replaced if needed, and are not charged for. The rifle is worked through as follows: Hammer mechanism • Ensure the assembly is free of any oil, grease or debris which can cause consistency issues • Re-finish hammer spring to a higher accuracy • Polish the bearing surfaces in the hammer • Hammer/trigger sear mating face is modified if needed • The Hammer spring is considerably shortened to reduce the power after the regulator is fitted, this makes cocking effort much less and puts much less pressure on the trigger sears, allowing a much crisper and responsive second stage. • Loading assembly • Loading probe modified for pellet feed and smoothness • Bearing surfaces polished • If you include the magazine in with your rifle they are also modified to remove any loading issues such as jamming whilst cycling • Lubricant is added to parts of the assembly to allow a smoother action • Bolt lock up mechanism is usually modified for more responsive and smoother movement, also increasing the rifles consistency. Exhaust valve, transfer port & barrel • The exhaust valve stem assembly is modified to run more efficiently • Valve is refaced and modified for a faster flow • Valve body is modified for better airflow through the firing cycle increasing efficiency • The valve pressure is reset to give a better performance between heavy and lighter pellets • The transfer port is modified to give a higher degree of air flow efficiency • Crown of the barrel re-cut or polished if needed to increase the rifles accuracy • Transfer port and barrel are aligned correctly • The Adjuster in the transfer port is set with minimum restriction to allow a much more efficient use of air, 90% of the power setting is done with the hammer spring shortening. Only the final setting is done on this adjuster, which also helps with the FPS variance. Trigger assembly • Sears are polished to a smoother finish if needed • Hammer engagement sear modified if needed to smoother let off • Trigger let-off is set to a comfortable and safe amount. Some parts may be chargeable although I do replace many damaged parts for free as standard. O-ring seals are replaced as standard throughout the rifle and refitted with the correct lubrication.

My dilemma is that I have a 12 month warranty so I’d like that replaced ideally & still be covered? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I never asked, but mine will be sent for a service back at Rat Works every 12-18 months though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supersavage Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 I've decided that providing that there's nothing major with my mums car (hasn't been looked at yet) I'll be sending my HW97 to The Rat Works for a strip down/service and a tune as it hasn't been shot for year or so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supersavage Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 If it's as good as the R10s tune was I can't really go wrong and Phils a great guy to deal with. I do have a TBT tuning kit for it that's been sitting on the table for best part of a year but I'm not brave enough to fit myself, plus I don't have the tools to do it anyway so I'll probably sell it on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 I’ve got a TbT kit and upgrade piston seal for my HW45 I haven’t fitted yet, I’ve heard a few funny story’s about springs flying across rooms and skinned knuckles, but I will get round to it soon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigjimknickers Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 I’ve got prices for both my S510 & the boys Phox, Phil goes into great detail in what he does to the rifle & what’s included I really like that, I’ll be sending mine off after the new year though as I want it here for when I’m off for Xmas! as for Toby’s Phox, I can’t wait to show the RaT works logo on AGF, they’ve all said tuning one of them is a waste of time & money, from Phils email to me that seems utter bull crap, he can really get the phox/coyote tuned very nicely & can sort the trigger, ok he said it’ll never be AS good as a rekord or a CD unit, but it’ll be a worthy vast improvement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
