I put in your settings and it wouldn't even push the 13.43g JSB knockouts out of the barrel lol....I do want it low power for just plinking in the backyard, like 7fpe was the goal but here is the settings I ended up with, just over 8fpe. I wander why the huge discrepancy in settings. Do you have the redwolf or the pulsar and actually i thought cpu was the same.
Got it resolved! Same way you suggested in this thread. All is good now and the gun is filling normal again. Thanks!!Just saw this reply. I’ll have to try that and see if it works. I have to find that screw you are talking about.![]()
i believe it is older than i am ?. I do not remember . SN#3997Knock me out. So cool. One day. Crow
Knock me out. So cool. One day. Crow95 desrees /62% humidity , not to bad . did some shooting with the BSA break barrel .177 Tenex 4.51 8.2 gr , i should take this hunting squirrels . Very light weight gun and accurate 20 or 30 yards Irons sighted in @ 25 yards. If i sighted it in probably could do 40 yds . easily .View attachment 586632View attachment 586633 if i sighted in @ 40 . ( see the lake way down below this is my back yard range )
I wouldn’t fly Air Canada. I would rather fly pterodactyl dinosaur with the Flintstones. Or even walk.Since Bob & Doug Air is shut down and I’m not picking Kim up at airport today I decided to peruse estate sales. First one had a pic of what looked like two Blue Streaks, a Daisy underlever carbine, and an unmistakable HW breech block. Couldn’t tell which model from pics. First time I’ve ever seen respectable air rifles at estate sale here. 33 miles away, was rolling in less than 5. The Benjis and Daisy had sold on first day of sale Thursday, but this little HW30 was still there. And it was half price day too! Some wear, some surface rust, trigger guard so loose I’m surprised it didn’t fall on the floor, this girl was used. But, rifling looked good and Rekord trigger on it. Pre-safety. Paid and ran. Got home, tightened trigger guard, grabbed some AA 8.4 that were already on table. Not only did it shoot, it shot great! Beautiful shot cycle, NO buzz, NO twang. Trigger was crisp. Will chrono when it’s not 98 degrees and 110 heat index outside but my guess is it’s close to spec. Date code puts this one at 1967 according to The List so assuming it’s a leather seal? Looks like the metal cap on the end where safety would be on a new one just pops off to fit on a spring compressor but someone correct me if I’m wrong. Neat little rifle, glad I found it. Just hope Bob & Doug don’t expect a thank you, because they’re definitely not on our Christmas list this year.

love the rounded pistol grip on these old ones , wonderful find worth twice the distance .Since Bob & Doug Air is shut down and I’m not picking Kim up at airport today I decided to peruse estate sales.
