Hi Everybody,
I am an air gun enthusiast ever since I was gifted a Tommy airgun by my uncle, at age of six, which I loved plink with until it broke. I bought myself and son an air rifle each in the year 2002-03. They were IHP 35 and 25, both in .177" calibre. I also got into tuning of air guns. Tried my hand at lapping, crowning, shimming, spring replacement, delrin spring guides, honing, synthetic seals, top hats etc. I am lucky to have a friendly neighborhood lathe machinist. I have been moderately successful in my tuning endeavors.

The image below is of piston modification of my IHP 25, teflon washer, PU seal and teflon piston guide. I also did some tuning on my Baikal IHZ 61M. Will show pictures later if anyone is interested.
