General Comments

I bought my raider a year ago, had lots of problems with it due to low power level. I sent it back to webley (twice) but finally came back at 11.7ft/lb. A couple of weeks ago decided to have a go at tuning the gun......... I dont think you will see this anywhere else (now pay attention!!!!!!!)
You have a few routes you can take if you want to tune your gun

1) You will need to try and find a new stronger hammer spring (which isnt easy. If you do find one well done!!!. If you cant (like me) you will have to get one with a narrower diameter that will fit inside the original spring. Please remember that the spring will have to be a little longer and a little stronger too!

2) Next step! you will have to increase the weight of your hammer. I used some lead which I fitted inside the hammer (dont touch the hammer adjustment screw!).

3) After you have done this you should get in the region of 18ft/lbs. I dont beleive the people who say they can get 28 ft/lbs as I have tried to no avail. Oh, I almost forgot please remember that the uk legal limit is 12 ft/lbs. and therefore if you convert your gun it is classed as a firearm so you will need to obtain a FAC.
