Crazy New Gun Justification

“Barrels are interchangeable between these two so if I buy the other one in a different cal it’s basically like buying one gun and getting 3!”
Ask me how often I swapped barrels between them

N/A Aigunsmithing Tools - Advice and Suggestions

I'm pretty minimalist. Cleaning barrels is almost always done with it on the rifle, using a pull-through, the gun either lying on a memory foam pad or in a basic rifle rest.
For light bore work such as sweeping felts with J-B back and forth to knock down surface fretting, I simply clamp the barrel lightly in my woodworking clamp. The jaws are wood so no concern about damaging the surface or even disturbing bluing or anything of that nature. Example clamping the thin tube of a old Crosman 310 pumper, preparing to resolder the barrel and tube:
Recrowning I usually do with the barrel clamped vertically in the same vise. Brass screw method described in my how-to guide.
A set of soft jaws for a bench vise is handy for other operations:

Sorting and weighing pellets for vertical accuracy improvement:

I agree! If you have time to sort, you would probably see a benefit If using the most common pellet manufacturers. But if you buy the brands known for better quality control and consistency out of the tin, sorting is not all that practical. Time + Benefit = ?As a plinker and casual shooter I shoot mostly straight from the tin but I do use sorted (weight and head size) pellets when testing, tuning and serious target work.
I'm seeing similar sorting results as mentioned above and am not surprised. Tins are filled with pellets produced from multiple swaging machines, with dies that may be slightly different do to tolerances and wear. Tolerances in the lead wire feedstock alloy and diameter can have a bearing on the finished product. Thermal change as the swaging machine comes up to temperature after starting a new production run or vibrations from external sources can impact consistency.
Outliers and damaged pellets aside (literally) the average shooter, using common airguns, at typical ranges, is not going to see much difference with shooting straight from the tin. Skilled shooters using finely tuned precision airguns at longer ranges will benefit from sorting pellets.
All considered, I think most decent brands of pellets are pretty good for typical use. Serious competitors would probably disagree with me.
Cheers!

extra plenum made by Raw

I have one that was made long before RAW offered them for sale but it's almost exactly the same. It was made by a friend of a friend that works at Utah Airguns. There are a quite a few posts about it here on AGN. Yes, they do work and will increase velocity. If I remember correctly, I gained 35-40fps when using the .25, Varmint Knocker 32.8gr or Zan 33gr slugs without having to crank the hammer spring or regulator. I made other internal modifications too, so your results will differ, but I went from about 945fps to 980-985fps. It's a great accessory for a terrific airgun. You'll love it!
Have a great weekend!

I attached a photo. Even with a 700cc bottle, it Doesn't look out of place.

Does anyone have any experience with it or can tell me what to expect..
Thanks ahead of time

Got 3 today with the Ghost 30cal SUB MOA barrel
It's absolutely amazing how much they know about the new phones and how to use them, and with some it's not just with phones. When my granddaughter was about 5 or 6, she set up YouTube on our TV.
