- A V Glide, A Paul Short stage 3 and a Nick Gibney hybrid piston gun compared. Standing shots with videos sideways on plus I suspended the guns and shot them. Slow motion of the shot cycle. All 3 guns are lovely to shoot.

Nick G action in the wooden stock of the Paul Short gun ...what a combination that would be. Great videos as always Neil :)
I like your vids sir 👍🏼
Enjoyed watching this thanks id like to get my hw97 tuned
I've got a black line STL like yours ,noticed you've a custom thumb stock on one .would you.prefer the wood over the tactical black line stock and what's the shooting cycle like between the wood and tactical .? thanks
No 2 looked smoothest to me , cheers Shane uk 🇬🇧,,, from the start of the video that is
I know that this excellent video was some time ago, do these tuning kits still exist? I have had no luck in tracking them down?
one more i see profiles pictures paper target, how far that shoot 10x shooting ?
i am from Indonesia, how weight piston ideals....for hw97.
I just bought a new HW97KT WOOD stock with Stainless barrel in 22 caliber from AOA. Is there any tips you can give me please. I also love the gold under lever on your wooden stock HW97kt can you let me know where I can purchase cool looking aftermarket things like that my friend I live in the U.S thank you very much.
how many energy Joul at the rifles?
what scopes are you using?
Would be interesting to see the fp of all 3 ,the last one looks like theres not much effort in cocking it ,is this because its lost power from the tune?
What calibres are they 177 or 22?
ih great videos on spring airguns do you knowhow i can contact nick gibney
thanks keep the videos coming
+Bruno 452 groups on facebook such as 'lost volume' is the easiest way or the springer tuning groups.
Hi neil
I have also got a paul short stage 3 hw97 centenary which i love shooting, but after watching this video im sure the v glide 97 is the quietest out of the 3, have you tested then noise wise by any chance?
Regards
Lee
+lumphammer66 the simple answer is no. The V glide has one of Andy Smiths moderator inserts in so it obviously works!
Yes that defo works neil 👍🏻
have you tried welsh willys kit .ive had my 97 tuned by him and cant fault it
+nick54021 what does the kit consist of? All my guns have received engineered internals not just new spring and guides.
That was incredible! How many ft.lbs do you tune them at? Pretty well sold me on them. Thanks for sharing.
+Donald Harwood - they are all just a fraction over 11ft/lbs. That's where I like them :)
@@shootingatdawn hi I'm grant do u tune them I have sum that I need doing
@@granto6712 I just work on my own guns mate.
How can i get in contact with you !
Hey mate, I'd be interested in chatting with you about your views on 97 tuning. I am trying to build a competition gun.
By all means mate :)
Onde consigo uma dessas no Brasil?
Hmmm they all sound different, as for recoil that would vary depending on the weight of the rifle the synthetic stock moves more because it’s slightly lighter. So it would down to lock times which is a problem to measure and demonstrate.
My view is the amount of recoil doesn’t matter if it does disturb the sight picture too much. Trigger setup and lock time are more important to minimise movement before the pellet has left the barrel.
Which of the three tuned 97's do you prefer and why?
+loopoin - they are all great and the differences are very minor. Personal preference would be Nick G for shot cycle followed by Paul Short. Stock on the Paul Short gun makes it the nicest to use. V glide is a great all rounder. Love them all :)
Impressive. I've a 97 blackline, trying to get the guts up to tune it myself.
richardwales
it's easy!! Go for it
DO IT! I tuned a RWS 54 to fantastic effect. My HW97 is next.
Very informative video. I have a question about the HW97, as I am not sure if mine shoots at the right power. This is regarding the rubber breech seal.
When I cock the rifle, then return the lever back home.. just before that, I can't feel the transfer port seal pressing onto the breach. I don't know if this has to do with a low power output of 10 FPE average. Do you feel this tension from your rifles? Maybe someone else would also advise. Thanks.
I can't honestly say that I have ever taken any notice of whether I can feel the breech seal crushing up as you close the breech. If you are not happy with the seal just change it and be on the safe side - its only a 2 minute job.
Does it not shoot good out of the box? Do you have to tune it?
They do shoot pretty good out of the box but my personal live of these guns is just how much difference you can make to the way they shoot through various tuning methods. None of my 97s feel the same to shoot and all of them are excellent in different ways.
I have a HW 97. Where do you buy the action parts?
If you mean where do I buy the tuning parts, I buy them directly from the people who make them.
Can U give a list of where U buy them from.
Hi! Nice guns ! I have one 97k with vortek pg2 kit and its impossible to hit and the rifle jumps and i cant shoot the gun ! Need help !
Pinnkong Use artillery hold
Detune it is it the full power vortex kit.
Number 1 gun sounded smoothest and quietest to me.
Lovely rifles mate! Which hw97k variant do you prefer? Cheers
I like the synthetic stock as it takes bumps and bangs well. Other than that I like thumbhole CS stocks.
@@shootingatdawn totally agree mate, the synthetic stock feels lovely definitely a joy to shoot with
Hey mate quick question I've fitted a vmach kit in the .177 97kt and its very consistent 11.3 only niggle i have is still quite a crack from the action. Anyway i could numb this down to more suitable thud? My standard 99s .22 is quieter if im honest. Cheers bud appreciate it.
@@davt8615 the v mach kit should quieter down the action itself and eliminate twang. Make sure you have a piston sleeve to eliminate all sideways spring vibration too - I thought they were included in the V Mach kit. You could always install a baffle kit in the "silencer" to try and calm down any crack.
Yeah mate gota steel shim sleeve in the kit, might make a ptfe 1 see if makes any difference, there's no twang but defo a crack, will try baffles matey see how i get on. What you reckon of the new HW98 laminate? Its certainly a looker
Hi, I'm writing to you from Portugal in that moment, I do not have the HW77, now I have a TX 200 MKIII and recently I bought it from a friend of mine who gave up the FT a Nick Gibney kit with aluminum piston and titanium spring. In the first few shots I was disappointed with the size of the groups, now that I have given about 250 shots I am already enjoying it more. However I would like to know what you think about this kit for TX. Congratulations on the channel and also on this particular video.
+Carlos Canoa I have shot a TX with one of Nick's alloy pistons in. Very very quick! I am going a different route with my TX - video soon ;)
I must have missed the part where you show us the grouping of each rifle, or do we just take your word for it?
I think you missed the whole point of this video. It was only to show the recoil effect of each rifle tuned by three different people.
Which HW97 stock material do you prefer or think is best out of the wood and the synthetic? Is there a noticeable weight difference between wood and synthetic? I currently have wood but am considering changing it for synthetic.
+Baboon McGoon - feel wise, there is no competition for the CS stock. However - my guns get used and lots of people try them. I would probably cry if the CS got damaged but the synthetics can take knocks and bangs in their stride.
OK, many thanks for the info.
Have to say i prefer the second rifle the most, the 3rd seems to twang and that alone would send me mad. I cant stand twangy rifles i know its hard to get rid of completly in these hybrid set ups.
what about accuracy
I prefer the V glide gun
Wonder why someone never show the target he shoots ?
You seriously want me to show videos of spinners spinning?
which pellets do you find best on your hw s
+Chris King I generally use H&N FTTs - I find them a general good all round pellet that suit my guns.
cheers ,was wondering after the tune ,if pellet had changed
Be more gentle with the cocking lever😉
If I had 3 hw97s I wouldn't care if any got damage. I would still have 2 more to use and probably a lot of money to fix it or buy a 4th hw97! That being said, If I would ever get one, I would defenately, be more gentle with it!
3 gun is the loudest
Your lgu is better then all your 97s... Cant beat a rotary piston
+silverbackdp there is something about the 97 I love. Size, shape - I can't really put my finger on it. My LGU is a bigger bulkier gun - I just prefer the 97 in the shoulder.
