these are my first springer tunes , the b3 turned out ok , i may need to do a bit more on that but it shoots way better than stock , it has been re crowned lube tuned ,every thing was debured, and has a thin metal washer on the spring guide and the piston . also painted the receiver od green and have started redoing the stock .
now the air hawk shoots like a completely different rifle from stock . the spring was bone dry , and it had a lot of twang and twisted when shot . it was lube tuned , spring ends debured thin washers on the spring guide and the piston . spring guide was rough so i smoothed it up . shimmed the breach seal added a gamo scope stop , cut off 3 inches of barrel re crowned and custom built a barrel shroud for it .the trigger was good already ,about 3 pounds i would guess .cocking is smooth , and tuned it has by far the best firing cycle of any springer i have ever owned no twang or twisting just a nice thunk when fired and a loud smack of the pellet hinting its target . i cant believe it shoots so good for a $100 gun and a bit of tweaking . now i am seriously pleased with this gun . it so far likes crosman premier hp , but i don't have much of a variety of pellets to try yet .
edit :: forgot to say that i beded the action or the ruger with jbweld (used some grease as a relase agent so i could take it out of the stock )to get a better fit , the factory had a plastic shim to keep the action straight .
