Discovery HD 2-12x24 magnification ring question

Got one of these for my older Discovery VT-T because, it too was stiff. Made a big difference.

If the one you recommend @Gerry52 is available in a diameter that fits the OP's scope it is a better idea than the one I recommended

Springer vs. PCP

Basically, IMHO, the only advantage springers have over pcp's is that no extra equipment is needed- just take it out of the box and start shooting(if you have the eye's for it, you can just use it with iron sights). In my opinion, pcp's are a superior breed to springers-you can leave them cocked for as long as you like, they are repeaters holding 10+ pellets/slugs in a magazine, they are way more powerful and way more easy to shoot precisely, they have zero recoil, and there are a lot more scopes to choose from that will not get damaged by the funky recoil of a springer. Yes, pcp's have to have a pump/scuba tank which adds to both the cost and amount of accessories needed(which may or may not be a problem depending on your personal preferences/wallet size). I have both a springer and two pcp's, guess which one spends most of it's life in the safe?
I. Bought a Springer for only $40 from pawn shop
Just to have back up if compressor breaks down.
Then when I seen Crowskis targets under
What Springer did you shoot today. Damn I want a nicer springer now.

Beeman  HW30s in 22cal is awsome

I just bought this new last year and had it tuned by John Thomas. It has a Vortek spring and seal in it and its throwing JSb 14.3 gr express pellets out at 525fps. The 13.4 RD at 545fps and get this . The JSB Predator GTO 11.9gr domes at 600 fps!!! accuracy is HW legendary. What a super light rig for all day carry. ID think small game up to 25 yards would be very doable. I have a peep site on it.

Tuning  Do springs age out?

Here is a FWB from later '60's that looks new condition wise, almost unfired, but the breech/piston seals are shot and lots of spring twang. Do I need to replace the spring as well as the seals? View attachment 582742
Beautiful gun. I got two of those earlier this year. One had documentation where it had been resealed and new spring a couple of years back. Visible seals are of proper blue color. The other needed resealing so I sent it out to a reputable airgunsmith and he did the seals and said it needed a spring. Kind of hard to argue from 500 miles away.

Flubbed on my Foray with Burris XTR Signature Scope Rings

@EEzana4CE I have used these rings for a while now and have found that removing them and reinstalling doesn't ever hsve them as centered as the first time instslled. It's because the two floating wedges don't always align good or consistent. I found that a bit of lube or wax on the steel wedges and wiggling the scope mounts side to side as I initially tighten them up helps to center their alignment.

What did you do airgun related today.

I’m still plinking away this weekend with my PP750. Ripping 8.4gr after 8.4gr. Two squirrels this morning. One with my Notos and one with the PP750.

I used the metal pp750 baffles I accidentally got from Wes at AAF , And put them in my tactical Gauntlet SL 22. There metal , fit better have a smaller hole work better. I also put some clear plastic tubing on the Gauntlet barrel. Much more Quiet now. OV.

Other  Market value of Aeron B96 CO2 match pistol?

so, here is some info
all the parts that any of need are still around in a building in the Czech Republic under 20 years of stuff
it took me almost a year to get a complete rear sight
the new owner of the company doesn't care about the parts, so they stay where they are
i went back to try to get some other stuff and i got zero response and gave up
and that is where we sit nowhere

Taipan  Taipan Slash - Accuracy tip.

Depends on your tune. High power tunes kick more than lower power. I agree with your tighter hold on the gun. I noticed when my Vet 1 was tuned to 920 fps with 18 gr pellets it had a decent little kick and was not as accurate with a lighter hold. When I tuned it down to 860 fps it jumped less and seemed to be less hold sensitive.

Wonder how much tuning the Slash can handle and still have enough air to cycle. If the bolt has a decent amount of weight you have that moving back and forth in the shot cycle.

Diana  Diana scope rail loose

they look like Phillips screws but they are not
for any of us that has tried to remove a Diana scope mount----ME----you just screw up the screw top
the gun would have to be taken apart as far as i know to get to the back of the rivet and then what spin the back of the screw rivet
now this is a 48-52 tube and what you are looking at is the rear most screw end at the right and a locator pin that is on the mount
you can see that the screw has been worked over to peen it
and every screw has access though the tube
now i would assume your is similar
