Good morning @pwcosol and welcome to the forum. I started with a Sears 'Ted Williams' rebranded Daisy 880 pump gun from the 70's. Now I have a few too many, just like most. You'll find what you need here, and much more. Make good use of the search feature, then post remaining questions with...

I added a chamfer to the breeches in my p17s the same way that @Vana2 described. I chucked the bits into my small cordless screwdriver with a drop of oil and checked the fit of a pellet periodically to be sure not to chamfer the breech too much. I took it one step further and also very gently...

Have you tried a magnesium supplement? I find that as I age I need magnesium everyday for my mood and to keep my muscles relaxed. I take both magnesium and calcium. A good chelated form of magnesium such as Magnesium malate, magnesium glycinate, and magnesium taurate are all good forms. Stay...

As far as the prosport goes, I found one post in the following thread that mentions a linkage in the prosport that prevents the trigger from being pulled unless the cocking lever is all the way closed in firing position, preventing decocking 👎🏻...

It's not a bother, it's an intelligent question that needs answering. I suspect the quotes from the manuals you have found are meant to prevent newbies and uneducated gun owners from damaging their rifles. Decocking such rifles requires pulling the lever almost to its limit and grasping it...

Proper operation of the trigger: you feel distinct 1st & 2nd stages while pulling, fires only when you pull the trigger. I've never handled an HW97. They are highly regarded. I have trouble believing it can't be decocked. I wouldn't own a springer that can't be decocked. Decocking a tx200mkiii...

@dormitionskete , It sure sounds like your first stage screw is turned in clockwise too far. I would start by backing it out a half a turn at a time until proper operation returns. Also, I would never choose to keep my gun cocked and on safety while transporting it. If I don't take a shot, I...

@dormitionskete , It sounds like your trigger has been adjusted too light by turning one or both of the adjustment screws clockwise / inward too far, limiting sear engagement between the bottom and middle sear. As you pull the trigger, the first stage screw pushes up on the bottom sear and...

@oldguyfla , Hello Dan and welcome to the forum. Enjoy the resources and good luck with your repairs. Why don't you make a post with pictures showing how the repair is done on your goodie to add to the knowledge Banks here? Use a descriptive subject title so your post can be found by the next...

@Snead360 , Hello back and welcome to the forum. Enjoy the journey and education. Don't get in a hurry to buy stuff until you learn more about what you want. There's so much to choose from out there, coming from places you never thought to look. Regards, Feinwerk

@Vsudude , Thank you that was very kind. And welcome to the forum by the way. I had a long career as an engineer and I learned that you are a failure if you can't remember, document, and articulate things that you did and learned to solve problems with equipment. I'll be delighted if my notes...

Thanks for giving us a chance to say goodbye. RIP Thomas 😔

That rifle is beautiful with very nice lines. I love the look without the front sight. Reminds me of the FWB 124. If it's anything like the TX200 MKIpII, it must be a dream to work on

It's an aftermarket special laminated stock one offered by Air Rifle Headquarters

@fishing43 , Okay, here's the one on my Feinwerkbau 124S. I don't have any photos of my r1 available. Feinwerk
