Air rifle vibration after spring replacement

Post by Jassim313 » Wed Feb 20, 2019 8:01 am

Yesterday I changed the piston seal and spring of my ihp 35 .22 air rifle .But the gun has become quite loud after the replacement also there is considerable vibration .I'm using a precihole synthetic seal and TAS spring ( only Cherokee and tas were available, so I opted for TAS which is shorter than the stock ihp spring). There is increase in power but the vibration has made the gun less accurate. Can something be done to minimize the vibration ? Thanks

Cut three coils of spring and check whether the Piston seal and breach seal is properly working

Don't worry , it is usually happens when replace with new little powered main springs, confirm proper lubrication with moly Grease , after few 100 shots you can feel stability, unless you can try what VSRaja sir recommended,

The spring takes few (30 to 50) shots to settle. Thereafter you can take further action. Else enjoy the power it has to offer. The vibration Vs IHP will be higher but you will get accustomed to it as the new spring settles.

Whats your feedback on TAS spring.
Hope you settled in after the initial roughness.

New spring vibration and sound need at least 50 shots to settle !!!
