I'm toying with the idea of putting a Maccari Tesla
piston seal and high output spring/guide kit in the
B26-2 now that it is broken in.

Anyone have any experience with either of these
products? Thanks.

When I did a re-lube to my TX I used a Tesla MK2 piston seal, it's had about 1000 pellets through it so far with no problems.

I have a Jm seal in my B26. I am using the stock spring with a Tivar spring guide and tophat. The setup is soooo smooth! Goes thunk with no twang. Read Macacari's site for fitting the seal. Remember to deburr all the holes and the cocking slot or you will damage the new seal on installation. Measure your old seal and turn down teh new seal about 10 thousands of on inch over the stock size. Try it in the gun and fit it so it is snug but not hard to move the piston. If the seal gets stuck as you push the piston in, see where it's cathing and push down with a small blunt screwdriver or similar. Good luck! Jm products are the best, you can't go wrong!

Why did you elect to go with the OME spring
instead of a Maccari product?

The stock gun after just a lube tune was shooting 935 fps with CPL's. Didn't wanna mess with that. With the tight seal and a hair less spacing than stock, she is shooting 850 fps now. I will add some washers on the piston side and refit the seal to bring it up to 900 fps, but she shoots so nice now and with no real kick....probably going to leave it!
