Chambers….but maybe not for 1770.
Of course the new compression tube would cost more than the rifle is worth.

Ooops.... That would be an early model indeed. I think that I've got a way to repair it. I was just hoping that someone had come up with an easier way.

Just found out Johnson Paste wax that I have used on the metal and wood of my guns for years has been discontinued. Such a great product stopped with no reason to the public. Not advertised for guns but one of the best gun finish protectants on there. Was sold in a big can at about $6 in stores. Now leftover cans going for $100 on EvilBay! WTF!!!

Been discontinued for years..........
I have a can of McGuires Gold Class Carnuba and Trewax. I use the Trewax on the inside of my barrel. Seems to work very well.

I love the 35e and it shoots pretty dam smooth....tk me a while to find a almost new groove stock version .

Just ordered 2 tins, I hope the TX likes them. Thanks for the replies.

I have a can og Maguire pure carnuba wax and use it for everything from acraglass release agent to protecting metal on guns.
I hate to see Jwax go away, but there's plenty more and likely better products out there.

Generally, @Motorhead would be right on this, but I bought the Huma reg for mine and it refreshes plenty fast enough for good semi-auto shooting - I practice double and triple taps sometimes with mine and there is no issue or loss of speed. Note that mine is a .22 shooting at about 34 FPE, so it might not be enough for a .25 at 70 FPE.

One thing that Huma does on the regulator for the Huben (at least on the reg they sent me) is they leave out any restriction screw to give a faster refresh rate. It works great, but it does lead to the delrin disc wearing out (leading to some creeping) a bit faster than on my other slower refreshing Huma regulated guns.

I am very happy with it, and it solved the issue I was having - my K1 shoots great at lower pressures down around 100 bar, but the factory regulator is not as stable as the Huma regulator down there. I get less ES with the Huma regulator than I do with the factory one, but I had to give up the external adjustability to get it.

If you order one, I'd definitely order some spare discs for it as you will likely need them eventually. You can turn the disc over and use the other side, but eventually you will probably want to replace the disc.

I wish I could get some of those discs made out of PEEK . . . .

It’s interesting that you slowed the action on the MP40. I hadn’t noticed that mine seemed unusually fast. The M1A1 on the other hand definitely is. When it’s on auto I’d guess it’s firing at around 1700 rpm.

The firing behavior of it is what makes me like the MP40 more.

I’ve got the Umarex M1 carbine too and while I’d give that top marks for realism, it’s not half the shooter of either of the others.

That old Johnson's wax was intended for people to wax their wood floors in the old days. No requriement for that product anymore. For gunstocks, I use Renaissance Wax: $18 for a 65ml can.

But...but .. it adds new elegance and expence to the guns .. why a 350$ gun is now 550$ of course you can go walnuts for 650$ or anniversary at 725$ . That why we discontinued the standard models to better serve your needs . Ya, seems all this took place when hw's grandson stepped in..

It's called marketing. The older European style rifles never appealed to me. They were too utilitarian, like a fence post with a gun on top.

Ok, just finished testing multiple pellets. Each pellet was shot 5 times at 4 bulls at 10M off a sandbag rest. As you can see, my TX200 seems to like everything except the JSB 7.33 gr. The AEA 8.72 gr shot as well as the others, but the only thing I didn't like about them was that the head size seems to be a bit larger making it difficult to insert the pellet into the barrel. AEAs shot 779 fps and 11.8 fpe. FX 8.4 shot 809 fps at 12.3 fpe. Take your choice.

The FTT 8.64 head size 4.52 you have to push a little harder than the JSB 10.3. Could be the harder lead, both H&N and AEA are harder than JSB.

Good shooting @rut, love the opening scene, all those beady eyes shining… Inviting a pellet…
