V-Mach.

Hi gang.

With my new gun purchase on hold for now

, I have decided to spend some of my savings on my 97k. I've already bought a new scope, I think the old one had a problem but that's another story. I'm now considering changing the internals of the gun and have thought about either getting it tuned or fitting a V-Mach kit myself. It's not so much a power increase I'm after, the gun is already powerful enough without being illegal but I just want to make the gun a bit more user friendly as it can be a bit of a brute in the field. I have to say though, it has 'calmed down' a bit this last 100 shots.

Anyway, what are the thoughts on V-Mach kits? I once (many,many moons ago)had a HW80 tuned by Dave Pope and the transformation was remarkable.

Ta.

Dale.

Well the V-Mach kit is probably only rivalled by the Maccari kit imported from America, I don't know the exact costings but personally I would pay the extra and send it to Steve Pope and have it fitted by the man himself

Thanks for the reply mate.

I believe it's around the £160 mark to get it tuned by the man himself, which I'd gladly pay for the transformation.

How would I stand sending the gun through the post though, given the VCR bill?

As its not a firearm you can send it through the post and receive it. Its owned by you and not being sold so the VCR bill doesn't apply in this situation

Excellent, thanks for that.

I did the same on my HW97K a year before.
Velocity increased almost by 10%.

Dale · 11th Jul 2008, 10:50

Not so much a velocity increase I'm after but more usability. Something definately isn't right with my gun, I missed 3 rabbits yesterday, not even I'm that bad a shot

. I decided to get some scope work done in the end and I couldn't even hit a Post It size piece of paper at 35 meters. So I've done the evil deed and parted with some cash (rare for a Welshie

) and sent for a V-Mach kit from BAR. I also sent for a scope maximiser.

I'll keep you posted, over and out.

V-Mach has arrived, now to fit it.

Please pardon my ignorance as I am newly back into the game after more than 30 Years :-( so am out of touch somewhat.
So what is a V-Mach and a scope maximiser? Ta
