Havent seen a diagram. "two stage" trigger ? Did they get rid of the spring loaded ball plunger? Thanks, John

Rather like original thought, not likely anymore. Maybe the hammerless rifles (Huben) come close to new innovation? John

Beeman labeled MPT with Sheffield stock (agree most came with something from Sheffield). One of only 3 (out of 200+) I SHOULD have kept! John

No. But if you happen to be an ebay person (I know nothing) there are a few still in box/claimshell & used -seems not a good idea?- there. Not for nothin, I sold off a number of 70' new in the box (untouched) crosman pistols for a friend and it seems all was fine. Used I too might think...

Accident, lowball bid & not much use for huh. Trade ya different rig you likely not much use for, as new DAQ .452 pistol. Well a poor boy has to try (and the misses liked her old bulldog, opps almost in the doghouse over that one). John

Ppsiumps vary slightly. Have filled a Career Uttra many times. 490cc from zero to 3,000psi , an even 500 strokes (not counting bleeding & pressurizing the fill hose every 60 strokes. Pumping is very easy, technique is Everything, dont use your arms, pull handle all the way up, back...

Yes um, QB. I cant see it too well but your valve stem doesn't look Too good? Possible mick or dent at 10:00 (and as old as the rest) that may well not burnish out. Might want to source a new one. Last I knew Mountain Air sold nice nylon (other?) valve stem for them. Also give it a little...

Hector is a nice guy (with funny shoes) to shoot with or talk to. Ask me how I know (no , on second thought dont). Things in the airgun world used to be different. Everyone knew everyone - one way or another- , your word was your bond ...... . Just because YOU don't recall history does not...

Likely just me but for (no need or desire for tacticool here) I would grab a DAQ .45 or .58 for the same money. Yes a single shot but such a nice traditional kit. Every part made & finished by Dennis including the single cut rifling barrel. About the same price. John

Have you checked to see if the barrel is full of pellets? John

Perhaps use the wrench? And tighten it just a much as it possible. John

Shucks. That will make it a bit more hazardous to work on. Dry fire isnt good and loaded is dangerous , your call. Surf up "adjusting hatsan quattro trigger" , lot's of diagrams, video's .... . Post up when you get it fixed. John

Excellent choice, both the rifle and having Mike tune it! Now if pistol appeal at all The one (for a springer shooter not wanting to invest in air source.... ) is the crosman 1701P . Under priced for what you get, actually Very easy to fill with a $50 hand pump, only downside is every time...

Is it cocked? If cocked barrel will have no resistance when re-cocking. IF it take normal (lot's of) effort to break the barrel it is not latching. Perhaps check the trigger adjustment. While be careful. John

Complied bu ChrisK book of bam: https://the5thshot.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/The_BAM_B50_book_by_ChrisK.pdf Yes all parts Would be interchangeable with the same Daystate model Except the B50/51 is metric. John
