Ken, Sorry for the delay. That's dye from Keda on the stock, I have a couple of threads with some stocks I wound up doing. The dye is in powder form and you mix it with alcohol or water. Mixing the base colors, will get you just about anything you want. The issue is that you have to keep...

RidgeRunner, I was surprised that I got a notification for this thread. I haven't been active on the site for some time and haven't kept up. The funny part is that I wound up getting a Diana 10 and had to do the same thing. It was a time capsule, but the seals had long since expired. Good luck...

I still have one left. If interested, PM me.

Just had an excellent experience with him. Deal with confidence. Mark

BTW, I just looked up the invoice, shipped, they cost me $250.00 USD for the pair. Mark

I bought two new ones out of Portugal. I can see what they cost me and I'd be willing to sell one. If you're interested, send me a PM. Mark

Again, acetone should be fine, or you could just flush it out with brake cleaner.

Augie, Loctite usually doesn't play nicely. Acetone might break down some of the milder types. You may have to be satisfied with what you can remove mechanically. Hope all is well for you. Mark

Okay, it's been a productive day. Tore the rifle down, found a used Lothar Walther blank and made a new barrel. Only trick pony was grinding an internal grooving tool for the barrel O-ring. Not a big deal, but it was the only tooling item I had to make for this. The bolt was hardened, which...

top, Great suggestion for potential donors, but I already have a few barrels that will be donor material and I'll be spending money on the Huma unit and a bottle. This is one of those typical projects that you invest way more than is sensible, but you get what you want. In my case, an act of...

vmaxpro, That's great to hear that you gave that a try. I'm not trying to convert the masses in favor of lobbing .25's along, but having at least one set up just for giggles is nice if you have a gun that you can set up easily that way. There is an odd satisfaction when that big pellet lumbers...

Juan, I had one and it was a great rifle, it liked pellets and slugs in the 47-53gr range, excellent accuracy and decent power. Many current models can make greater power than the R3, but it's no slouch. I traded mine off because I didn't have much need for the power of a .30. It's an Edgun, so...

Serdac, Sounds like you have had fun travelling the slow road quite a bit in the past with some of your .25's. I love how easy it was to drop the velocity in my Leshiy, just a matter of hammer spring tension and no other mods. I'll wind up making it a bit more complicated with a build like this...

top, Nothing new to deal with a rainbow trajectory. I once lobbed 3 pellets out of my Leshiy into a group that all three touched at 50yds. THAT WAS A BLAST!!! I know normal people are always questing for more power and accuracy, but I'm telling you that I love what you can do with low power...
