detune kodiak
i have a beeman kodiak, it is a .22, the old style(english). i bought the gun when i was dumb and just wanted more power from a springer. well more power from a springer sucks!!!! i was wondering what i need to do to tune it down to about 20 fpe. i have done a tune already to the gun just smothing and polishing and synthetic greese and it helped but i think i need a weaker spring but do not know if that is the best way. i guess i was power hungry befor i got into pcps and to me springs and power above 20 fpe just do not go togeather.

yea i know it is about how you shoot them but the firing cycle is very harsh and i just want to tune them down. i can get about 3.5 inch group at 50 with cps, i have a extra spring and piston seal for the gun from beeman so i might trim it i do know it has alot of pre load unlike my r1 witch has about 1/2 inch. i just feel now if i want a shit load of power i just get out the condor
Just learn to shoot it properly……
Magnum springers CAN be very accurate, but you have to practice with them, know how to shoot them, and use the right pellet for them.
I’ve got a Patriot in .22 and a Kodiak in .25….. I do well enough with them.
It can be done without neutering your big springer!
Contact Air Rifle Headquarters and see if they have a spring that would be appropriate for you.
If it where me I would cut a coil off the spring, chrono and see where it is at. Then repeat if necessary.
If you screw up you can always buy another spring.

If you cut off a coil of your spring, remember to file the sharp end flat with a bastard file or a dremel. If one coil doesn’t do it, try another coil. There’s no reason to spend money unless you don’t have a spring compressor to get the dang spring back into the rifle.
Careful and don’t rip off a finger or put out an eye!
