Just a quick update as i´m heading out..

Moved the sear point on the hammer them 3mm. Then used a to "mellow" hammer spring (on 1.25mm dia wire vs 1.4, which is what i´ve got in mind for starters) and with a reg pressure of approx 140 bar i´m seeing approx 75-80J (55-59fpe).
To be honest it´s as i regard it to early in the tuning process to make any real assumptions as such but we´re no doubt heading the right direction.

It´s auto reloading too from what it seems, at least as output power goes up.

Want to play around more with both reg pressure and hammer spring asap.

Considered the tm and the mini. Wanted clarification on the carm mags for the mini in 20 cal.

Finally got my hands on one of these mythical air pistols. Is it as good as everyone says or did it disappoint? You will just have to watch to find out.

No movement of the package.
No updates or calls from a representative.
No delivery attempt was ever made ..the package went on a trailer and was never unloaded
I would think they would start to look where last reported, but zero effort has been made
Fed Ex will close the case soon ...will use other carriers in the future
Replacing the rifle will not be the same
It's like losing a friend i kave known for years
Have to hold on the a string of hope, but it is gossamer thin
Thank you to all for the well wishes and helpful suggestions

Mike....again....so SORRY! You had that cut rifle barrel RAW for a long time built by Martin......sigh.....

Oops, wrong thread!

Looking for a 12"-14" barrel for my new Crosman 1322.

Where are you planning to get .25 magazines for the Notos?

Is your shooting going to be mainly in the back yard? How close are your neighbors? A .177 Cal is cheaper to shoot and uses less air per shot . It also doesn't carry far so if you are shooting at a squirrel and miss you don't have to worry about hitting someone or something and damaging them or it. You need to take into consideration how much hand pumping to shooting is acceptable.

IMO, If your backyard is in a more suburban area then a .177 is cheaper, quieter, and safer. A Gamo Urban in .177 would be ideal.

Karma and DonnyFL have the same owners, great quality, great CS, for 100 yds, get it in .25 or .30

Curious on what caliber, grain, and velocity you are shooting with those settings. I want to set my low power to about 9fpe, shooting .177

Now that you know what you’ve got, please use the search feature within the Classified forum to determine a fair value.

I would find that an Umarex Gauntlet 2 get the SL22 You can generally find them on Amazon for ~400$, get a compressor (avoid a hand pump for frustration's sake), I got a ToAuto 4500psi for $180, get a couple of extra magazines on amazon for $12 each, but personally I'd go on eBay and look up QD Fox and get his aftermarket mags (they are better and tougher), then get a Gamo Combo Pack of 22 pellets (1000 count) for ~$18, Get a scope and rings, I'd recommend Discovery Opt 2-12x, look for a review on youtube and you can find a 10% discount code from their website.

I wonder if it could shoot slugs in 177?
“Synthetic walnut“ LOL

Slugs, probably not, choked barrel

Synthetic-Walnut
Dash is important
Tactical butt stock is Synthetic
Stock is Walnut

I've got a couple of Flambeau hard cases that I bought on sale for $30 each, a pretty decent price for a reasonable case, but nothing special. I would guess that a manufacturer could find a similar case for $20 or less. That seems like a very reasonable amount to spend on protecting an expensive and somewhat fragile product, especially when you consider that even cardboard boxes cost something.

I've had three guns sent to me now in decent cases. My sidewinder came in a tactical soft case, my GK1 came in a hard case with molded foam and my limited edition Umarex SAA came in a hard sided double pistol case, which IMO was the best of the bunch.

Recent purchases from AOA have had excellent disposable packaging, being double boxed and packed in eggshell foam that was cut to fit. My only complaint about it is that the foam padding seems too good to throw in the trash, but is just slightly too thin to use in a hard case.

I just ordered a Diana Two Fifty from Midway USA for $99.99 with a $100 free shipping , so I got a tin of .22 cal pellets I don't already have , and beat the Tariff tax
for now. AD selling it for $179.

I'm agreeing with Motorhead 100% on the Bar Oil. You want a lubricant that well, lubricates without dispersion or adverse effects to the materials of the 0-ring. A good synthetic, I just happen to have Mobile One laying around. I use it in my shops machines, high speed embroidery machines. My lubrication times have gone from every few hours to monthly. The Belleville stacks have a range, a minimum and a maximum, need more, use thicker, want less, use thinner. By having them uniform you spread the compression force equally between them all. It matters not one bit if you have one reversed at the top or the bottom of the stack if you have an odd number stack, it just needs to be fully seated. My thought on synthetic oil is, if it's good enough to keep a F1 car engine running, it's more than good enough for my air gun. Plus I have a very bad experience with silicon, may have been a one off but not taking any chances. I want things slippery, if it moves or slides, it get M1.

You might want to read and follow forum rules about selling in classifieds instead of trying to sell in a round about way on forum.

Makes sense. I did not go into classifieds yet, as I don't know what I'm selling. Was hoping to get a ball park or some additional guidance before I put it up for sale. My father-in-law gave me a spring Remington a couple years ago and I still have my 40 year old Crossman. I'm not interested in having all 3 and I rarely use any of them.

Just so you know.. those guns that are spelled out are Chinese guns rebranded by Diana. I have the Two Fifty. I like the gun but it has a heavy trigger and a harsh shot cycle. I had to put a Hammers scope on it. They are NOT German made Diana guns.
Might want to question Midway on that.

I haven’t shot them yet. I just got the mold last week and finally tried it out yesterday. I’m hoping they shoot well out of my standard Challenger 24”. After I did my preliminary sort, I ended up with 240 of them for an hours work. I’ll get them washed and lubed today. I’m thinking of using the same 10w silicone oil as I use on slugs. Anything else I should try instead?

sounds like you got a good plan....let us know how they perform

At the very beginning of my post I wrote , Chiana that's what another member called them , so yes I knew they were from China which is fine they are German design that can't be taken away , and I whish they were real German made. Once long ago the USA sent some small drill bit's to China , so they could see how well made , and nice they were.
The company in China drilled holes in those drill bit's put there bit's inside , and sent them back.
