AIRGUN TUNING
Lotsa tuners present themselves as soucerers, as people with wisdom seldomly seen and to be kept as a secret.
The airguncommunity has Tuners and the unworthy shooters.
You trust your measly airgun to the magic hands of the Tuner and for a lot of bucks your airgun has been transerred to a great airrifle, something to be proud of. The Tuners grinn when he collects your money is hardly noticed for you are in awe.

There are these guys on the shooting range, shooting and having fun and when you shoot thei marvellous gun you ask what`s been done to it. You fellow shooter tells about a transferport, or that mainspring wich was shortened three coils or some other thing he did and he offers to do the same thing to your gun.
Tuning is any modification to your airgun. I don`t want to write about the new stock or tht great bipod you just enchanted. No siree, what we`re talking about here is about the technique of the rifle. More power, less power or just smoother shooting.

Sietse is a bloke with a great technical mind. His ideas become reality. That differs him from most other people. Sietse doesn`t just talk, Sietse`s hands do some talking too.
In the pic above is a valve he made for a Shinsung 201. This valve is doing its thing in a 201.

Another great tuner is Hanzerschreck. He made some of the hardest hitting guns i`ve ever encountered. I had the honor to shoot lots of them. Pictured above and below is the Airforce valve from Hell. Never seen any bigger valve. Because of the size the valve just wouldn`t open without an extreme heavy hammer. When i put the valve in my Airforce Condor with the .223 barrel the valve would only open at 75 bar. There was an enormous blast and the .223 solid prolly went into space.
