The FWB 800FT at 15.5 FPE (20.4j). About as close to perfection as I will ever have. ART

The muzzle brake and the set screw are loaded with a red thread lock. I had to use a propane torch on mine to get it loose. After I got the set screw hot enough to loosen, I still had to drive-off the brake because it was also full of the red locking agent.....they absolutely didn't want the...

I would not mount the Mueller 8-32 on the D48.....the Mueller is a very good scope but I don't think it would survive on the 48. Stay with the Leupold scopes on the 48's and 54 Diana rifles. ART

Last year I called Sightron to see about getting several spare elevation knobs so I could "tape" them for different power levels.....the Girl said it would be about 4 months to get them, I didn't order any. What I did do, was put tape on the Windage knob and then I could swap it to the...

I can't post the link to the CSLC(Consolidated Sportsmen of Lycoming County) web site. There is a map and directions to the Club on the site. Very large club with a lot of members and activities. We shoot airguns on the indoor range during the Winter and outside FT style during the Summer. Drop...

I live in the North central(Williamsport) PA and there are a few of us get together and shoot airguns at the local club nearly every Monday morning. We also travel around to shoot Field Target in PA, NY, and MD. ART

I have a couple of my 34's set-up with Pyramyd's Mantis 4-12 scope and a Hawke adjustable elevation mount.....works great! The Mantis 4-12 is an AO, 1" scope with Mil-Dots and it is about $89.00. I've got BKL rings on it. Very clear glass and the clicks give true vertical and horizontal...

Ain't no such thing as "too shiny". ART

Dale, I used the same general method as used in firearms. I used Clover brand Silicon Carbide Compound Grade #2A. I have a small (4"x4"x 1/4") cold finished steel plate that I put a dab of compound on and smear it thin over the whole plate and then roll the pellets around under my finger for 30...

Hi Pete! Welcome aboard. Haven't talked with you in a long while. ART

I have recently "fire lapped" a new L/W barrel for my USFT, it worked very well and the barrel is very brilliant inside. It also brought out the last little bit of accuracy! This was a lot quicker than the traditional way that I have been polishing barrels. ART

Joe, Shoot me an email at a_deuel at Hotmail dot com I'll see if I can send you some pictures of my compressor and some assembly pictures. I have been unable to post pictures on the forums for the last 6 months.....lousy phone connection! ART

Very important....The inner springs must have the closed coils facing outward toward the bottom of the pistons. The open coil ends of the springs go inward on the center guide with the open end locking onto the swaged index in the middle of the guide....one end on each side of the index. If the...

Really a great little pistol and a superb platform to build on. The triggers can be worked into something pretty decent when compared to the older Crosman triggers. You can install a Marauder rifle trigger assembly and make a neat stock for it and it will become a nice carbine. You can even fit...

I've done all kinds of measuring on the D75HV stock.....the normal D75's have the butt stock hollowed-out to much to be able to cut one to the exact dimensions for the adjustable cheek piece. The stippling is a little different at the pistol grip on the 75HV than on the regular 75, but it...
