Good job.
Salvaged wood and off cuts, or leftover lumber. Jobsite dumpster lumber. All stashed in the trusses of my large carport. I sided my garage with salvaged vinyl siding that was piled in the back yard of my friend's rental property. I scrounge scrap steel for my home machine shop projects, there's probably at least 200 lbs in the corner and under one of my lathe benches.

Before I start a project at home I look through my scrap lumber inventory. Saves money and time going to the store.
Very gratifying to me.
My door casings, header board, plinths, and trim parts are mostly salvaged wood

The oak threshold was salvaged from the old door frame. Stripped, stained, and spar varnished.




Pro job

I'm pretty sure Yong Heng stopped using ISO 46 oil, years ago. It stinks and builds up carbon.
SECO 500 is a better option.

I was still charged shipping

It doesn't seem to get harder, but all pumps seem to be the same anyway. When I pump I can see a bit of air come out the hole it sucks it in. But yea hammer only, no air.

Anyone else get charged for shipping? I thought it was free today, but was still charged $17 for fedex shipping

If that's the case, I guess I'm running a little hot. I don't think I will change anything though. For me, that's a damn good group for a gun with a 5lb trigger!

hmm sounds like a valve issue. Is it building pressure and getting harder to pump? When you cock and fire can you hear the hammer hit the valve? Then no air comes out?

Thank you! So the bullpup kit I finally find will end up on a bolt action. Anyone have a clue where or how I can search the most effectively for a used one? Even if it costs money.

Hmm… I’m not exactly sure what the above mentioned jabberwocky is but if a bullpup Marauder is really what you truly want you just have to be on the look out for it and be ready when it shows up.

I’m not vouching for the seller. I have no idea who they are.
Good luck to you.

As of last night there was a great deal in the Zulus. 5-20 with lrf for just under 500

Still there

Tonight I got more time on the range. HW30 black .177. Such a nice shooter if you can get past the plastic stock. Great garage gun. And a HW98 .177. Naturally accurate. Beautiful break barrel.Bit of a drag with it getting dark earlier. What a vicious circle. Crow

A warm day did some digging in morning and shooting in the afternoon. HW97 .177 is the weapon. View attachment 576979This gun is serious for accuracy. Crow

That's an awesome looking led slinger Mr. Crowski

This listing has been renewed

Did you ever find an STL or make one. I’m interested in lowering the weight and texture for holding the gun easier.

Did a little testing with my new to me Crosman 2240. 13 grain Crosman pellets and I was getting distance of over 75 yards which impressed me. I expected less.

I just got a refurbished 2240 locally and it had a gas leak but that was a 15 minute repair from the shop that sold it to me. It seems to shoot well but I need to put a red dot on or some white paint on the front site so it’s easier to aim accurately. 40 shots seems about right and shooting across a pond this morning I was getting 75 yards or better from 13 gr. pellets. Not a competition gun but so far I’m glad I bought it.

Got an response from AOA regarding the O-ring size for .22 cal. It's 5.28x1.78 or an AS009. The daystate chart missing the 5 before .28. I've also edited the original post to limit the confusion.

I am having trouble de-gassing the gun currently- I can’t seem to find a safe way to do it. The burst disc wont budge with the nut

Not sure Tony will know. He tests with mostly the AEA Centerpunch 21.9g,

Won’t hurt to ask.
