    Coil bind on the spring

    Had something interesting happen a while back during install and testing of a poly guide tube and top hat kit for the stock spring in my AA Pro Sport .22. I used the new top hat and extra washers provided to get the same thickness of the stock metal top hat as instructed. Worked well. Then tried...

    Stubble Pull

    So does this happen to anyone else? When shooting my walnut stock AA Pro Sport, if I have any stubble on my face, it gets caught in the pores of the wood as I take a cheek weld up to the scope and yanks it out by the root. OUCH !

    Homemade Pellet Trap

    Got a good start on a pellet trap for the backyard today. 24" x 48". Shooting a Pro Sport .22 springer for now. Haven't decided if I'm going to cover the back with sheet steel and/or plywood and just stuff some bags of rubber nugget mulch in the back. I've seen folks hang that 1/4" thick rubber...

    Expected Pro Sport Power

    So, I've seen specs from various retailers that rate a AA Pro Sport .22 shooting an 11.x grain pellet at 750fps. I've been wondering if mine is down on power. What would you expect FPS to be like with a 14.3gn that I shoot? Or if you own a Pro Sport and shoot a different weight pellet, what...

    New Piston Seal Break-In?

    Hey all. Does a new piston seal need break in time to come to its potential and best sealing with the piston chamber wall? I just replaced the stock original seal on my Pro Sport with Vorteks moly impregnated seal and lost 50 FPS muzzle velocity.

    How to sort pellets after using PelletGage

    So, I just got a PelletGage. I had several piles of different weight pellets from a single tin before and now those several piles are sorted into even more piles by head size for all those different weights. How do you guys manage, consolidate and store them? I don't competition target shoot...

    Scope mount stop pin depth

    On my AA Pro Sport, I've noticed that the stop pin for scope mounts can be screwed down far enough to lock against the trigger housing. I don't know if you're supposed to do that but I don't like it. It causes you to have to remove the scope to remove the trigger housing so the gun can be...

    Dovetail base torque

    Hey all. When tightening my dovetail 1 piece or 2 piece scope mounts to my AA Pro Sport I've just been elbowing it, to what feels right. Is there a torque figure on the base screws I can use to confirm my elbow that I'm at least not over-tightening it? These dovetails are pretty minimalistic in...

    Sling for Springer

    You guys got a favorite 1 inch sling that you like to use with your springer? I just put the hardware on my Pro Sport, now looking for a decent sling.

    Missed possum opportunity.

    I've had a pretty good size possum living in my backyard somewhere for years, or at least shows up back there periodically, late at night. Have tried trapping it but it's too smart. I have a motion activated yard light that I noticed was on about 1am this morning. Look out the kitchen window and...

    Pellet profile

    I have some 18.13 AA and JSB pellets that I've washed and weighed/sorted. They look to have the same skirt and inner profile but the domes of the JSB are "slightly" more pronounced, meaning that the AA are slightly flatter. Does that slight difference between the two dome heads make enough of a...

    Springer barrel seal o-ring

    Other than running pellets thru it to see what FPS it's shooting, I'm still waiting for a scope and rings for my "new to me" Pro Sport that I bought from a forum member, before I can actually do some shooting. It apparently spent most of its life in the case. It has occurred to me that an under...

    Springer grease

    Anyone ever tried using the Aeroshell 33ms Lithium/Moly synthetic grease in their Springers? It's a high quality, sliding surfaces grease. As greases go, it ranks up there with greases like Krytox. I was thinking of trying it in my Pro Sport since I already have some. The Moly paste I have...

    FPS question

    I'm getting an average of 569 fps with an Air Arms 18.13 gr pellet out of my US model .22 Pro Sport. That's 13 FPE. Does that sound about right for this gun? Thanks

    Pellet pouch

    Do you folks use any kind of pellet pouch to carry your ammo in out in the field. I've been putting mine in a jacket pocket or the like and always pull out lint and other crap with the pellet. Something like that isn't really necessary at the bench, as you can just pull them straight from the tin.

    Pro Sport sling

    Don't know that I will, but I'd like to get ideas on how to equip an Air Arms Pro Sport for a sling. I'm guessing a screw in stud for the rear. What about the front? Any pictures of your own? Recommendations of hardware? Thanks

    Pro Sport factory parts

    Hey all, Where are you getting your factory parts for the Air Arms Pro Sport? Or even aftermarket that are just as good or better. Wear parts like the piston seal and such. I see orings can be had from the o-ring store. Thanks

    TX200 and Pro Sport ring height

    You folks that have either the TX200 or Pro Sport......I'm trying to determine what the proper height scope rings will need to be for a 50mm objective, 30mm tube. Confirm my thinking.....I'm looking at the Sportsmatch, High, Adjustable dovetail rings that I've found a reference saying, at their...

    Strelok Pro use with air guns

    Anybody using Strelok Pro with their air gun/scope setups? All the scopes I would use are in its database. After setting all the parameters for 2 different air rifle and scope setups, the app will not calculate turret adjustment or holdover and the target on the reticle page is skewed all the...

    Pro Sport twist rate

    Can't find info on the AA Pro Sports barrel twist rate. Or is it a smooth barrel? Thanks
