Tuning  Do springs age out?

Bear-of-Grayling
I just replaced the breech and buffer seal on this newly acquired FWB 150. 1968 model. The gun, spring and piston ring are like new. A lot of new springs these days seam of lesser quality. Why chance it. I’m not sure why you have spring twang. Won’t know till you get inside it. Congratulations, you have a beauty.

Spanish vs US made .22 CPHPs

J
I was at Walmart earlier today biting oil for my pickup and looked at what they had for pellets. They had Spanish made 22 CPHPs for $8 a tin so I bought one. The American made Crosmans I have are domed but I shot a couple groups with both to see if the Spanish ones are usable in my 22 caliber Bullshark. My conclusion is that they are. I think the domed are a little smaller groups but not a lot different. The two top groups are domed, the ones beneath are the hollow points. The flier to the right on the 2nd hp group and the top hole on the 2nd domed group were both going faster than the other shots. Over 920 when the other shots were more like 915. So maybe light pellets. Still for plinking or short range pesting I think both will work. The outside of the 5 ring is 1 and 3/8 inches. Range is 30 yards.

Dry air definitely helps, I spent time in SC also, way back in my Paris Island days and the heat + humidity was no joke. I'll take 95 and dry over 85 and humid anyday....but 105+ is a bit warm

Areas of the Corn Belt are probably a bigger hell than much of the SE now that Ive thought on it. They get a combination of extremes plus tornadoes. It's not called flyover country for no reason.

Taipan  Taipan Slash - Accuracy tip.

MACTEN
I had an interesting day last week where I couldn't get a good group with my .22 550mm no matter what I did. It would start to group and and seen as I would adjust the scope the good group would vanish.
Then I found the scope was very loose. and tightened the thumb QR screws. (Eagle Vision rings)
But that being said, I took it out again yesterday and found I was having a hard time getting a good group with the scope tightened like it should be.
The rifle jumps.
When I hold it down the groups go back to very accurate again.
Tip.. Don't let the rifle jump as I believe the pellet, at least at the speeds I'm shooting, get flung out of a barrel that's moving from recoil.
It's a very light weight rifle and I believe this is the issue (if you can call it an issue)
I'm having great success with AEA .22 25.3 pellets at 915 fps.

Pictures and Stories of our hunts with Springers/Gas-Ram Rifles.

I live in a small town of about 2,000 people, about an hour and a half east of Phoenix.. small mountain mining town but there is actually a river just south of town within walking distance. Thing with the river is the vegetation around it is so dense you really can't see anything so if you're going to hunt around the river you got to find a ridge and just glass and catch them moving towards the water. As far as roots and stuff I'm new to the desert I'm still learning.

It surprised me, so you have a lot of water going around, that's good news for everybody in that area.
Check around the river at night, I think you'll find many games. Night takes less energy for the desert creatures to graze and walk around.👌

The interesting thing is, I'm pretty sure we have the same tree in the desert here, look:

Air Arms  TX200 Breech Tube crushed

Nitrocrushr
The transfer port insert pops right out with a drift punch. I may even have one in the shop. Easy fix, but the head space will need checked as that steel port should not be close enough to make contact with the barrel.

The concern is the barrel breech surface and the lead-in. Hopefully Air Venturi will respond and cover it under warranty.

Are glass optics becoming obsolete?

This fellow is probably hoping you have a digital scope in need of a software upgrade or a dead battery about to quit. He is also probably thinking of how tasty and crunchy you might be.



Of course, electronic optics are being used in combat. But the refresh rate, that bear is moving really fast and needs a pretty good and precise hit even with a .45-70 or more. Optical scopes refresh at my brain speed, slow as that is, digital scopes blur and drag and lag. All I have seen do anyways. I would not want to hit where he was, I would want to hit where he will be and exactly where I would need to, Lord forbid.

Even if you're 70 yards way, no scope is your best bet. The charging bear can cover 70 yards in 3 sec and I'm not going to pullup a rifle and have time to look for my target no matter what the scope. If I'm going to hunt in brown bear country, I'm carrying a .44 magnum 300–340 gr hard-cast lead and at least 1 month of under pressure practice before hand!!!! Thank GOD I live in N.Y.

Supply Tank certification

Aside from owning 4 SCBA'S for airgunning (15, 30, 45 & 60 minutes) I worked for over 30 years with them including being licensed to hydrotest. NEVER had, seen or heard of one violently exploding. Only one of my tanks is within the 15 year window yet, knowing what I know, I feel perfectly safe with them. A healthy fear of High pressure air in general keeps me on my toes but the fact that our use of tanks is nowhere near as extreme as firefighters use I feel confident in the margin of safety with D.O.T. or European tanks.

Thanks for the reassurance. I somewhat got laughed at in another group for asking... You would have thought I was trying to make my own tank or something. Most comments were coming from countries outside the US. Which I found funny, being their tanks were most likely CE and not DOT...

Umarex  Zelos bottle mod

Dstrac
You can order a pack of shim washers on eBay , Amazon or McMaster Carr. The bottle threads are m18 and the neck of a carbon fiber bottle is 30mm. So a washer size of 18 mm ID X 25MM OD Would probably work fine. .2mm thickness , or .4mm thickness. Then you use a stack of washers to make it clocked correctly. As long as the OD of the washer is less than 30mm it wont stick out past the neck of the bottle.

Those would work if you were trying to clock the bottle, but you are trying to clock the adapter. So you need to verify what size the threads on the adapter are, and order a package of shims to fit.

My GK1 V1, Carbine in a holster! A sliding stock is so much easier to manage and can be carried in the holster. I am looking for a top Pic rail to bring that scope back.

I read the thread on the persons making the holsters to fit the GK, have they started making them again.
