Bill, I was determined to get the Longbow to shoot like a $400.00 air rifle..:) I was lucky and only paid about $300.00 plus shipping but still I was stuck with it the way it was and would not sell it or trade it to someone like it was. Now I canhonestly say after all the work it shoots like it should now..:) Next to see if I can hit a target with it..:)

Thanks Anatoliy. Glad to pass on some good results so others can fix there Turkish Webley/Scott air rifles. First did you take the trigger out of the trigger block or did you just slide the pins back enough to pull the safety linkage out? If that is how you did it then more than likely it is sensitive because that safety acts as a spacer as well. If you notice the trigger probably has about a 1/4's side play in it as it is now. Also the safety acts as a stop for the trigger blade. It will only allow the trigger to pull back so much. I used a die grinder and took some off of the contact point of the safety just below the top piece of safety. With the stock off you can see where the trigger hits the safety arm when safety is off. My Safety still works as designed. Not only the trigger is the same but the piston is the same one. They cut slots in both sides of the piston in order to use that piston in other models of Webley/Scott air rifles. Yes I did resize a seal but you have to be very very careful when doing this. Process time took me over 1 hour until I got the right fit. Yes I did use a new JM spring.

Note: Seal resizeing: I would only perform this on my air rifles and not a clients air rifle tune. You have to make a jig in order to do this correctly. It has to be on the money and no runout or you will end up wasting your time. Most seals are of the parachute type with exception of a few. The finished seal has to be percise.

Hope this helps

Sounds like another great project.  I'm hoping to hear similar results from the Beeman Vulcan I sent you.

The trigger parts look the same as a Walther Falcon Hunter (Hatsan). Never noticed if the Falcon had another slot milled into the piston. it did have the cheezy plastic guide/breech block assembly! It also had a HEAVY tophat. The gun was dropped prior to my tuning it and won't shoot for beans! So I don't know if I flubbed it or the gun was buggered before I got it.
