Experience With Quick Release Mounts?

If your picatinny is in one piece and screwed on it is easy to shim the back of the Pic rail to accomplish the same thing as a 20 MOA mount. I find 5-7 layers of coke can aluminum work well. The material is about 0.1 mm thick. This does not stress the scope at all since the shim just tilts the picatinny rail
Interesting. Kinda like the old feeler gauge trick. Then the trick becomes not losing them between mountings, and mounting them the exact same way when remounting the scope...

Daisy  Loading CMP 853M

853s are singleshot. The 953 is a multishot(5) with auto indexing. I have 2 853s from CMP and a 953 I purchased from a member on another forum. Plus I have a loose 753 upper laying around that has a LW barrel. There is a manual that CMP sells that goes over how to fix/adjust them that I highly recommend. I think it's on one of the sites for free as a pdf, though I believe it's a pirate copy.

BSA  BSA Scorpion

for the owners of the Scorpion the gold lettering can be redone with a Gold tire pen you find on Ebay
fill in the Scorpion and let set overnight clean extra with rubbing alcohol if good you are done if not another coat

Hatsan  Has anyone got the EKOL Carnivore .30 Caliber (7,62mm)?

Time ago boght a major f .25
Its was rubbisch.
It didnt get the vo specs by miles.
Shot 100+m/s below spec with 20.06 gr pellets.
When opening it, full of grease.
Piston seal wash good.
The demension of airchamber where
25-26mm diam. By 100mm stroke.
Way to small to get a .25 pellet around 250ms. To little swept volume

The metal finish is paint not even blueing.
I Removed the barrel for project and dumpped orther in trashcan.

Dont spend money on these junk
Buy better brands like weihrauch -
Air arms
Thank you very, very much for your sincere reply! I totally believe you.

About a month ago or so I have seen a review done on a .22 caliber KralArms N-11... The story with it went exactly the same as with your MajorF. The gun was under performing and not delivering the advertised velocities by far, but at least the bluing was much closer to some actual, or otherwise proper coating (it certainly wasn't just painted over). The stock was nicely done, even though it was plastic. I guess most these turkish budget airguns (perhaps with the exception of Hatsans) are just like their shotguns, under performing, but cheap. At least they don't blow up like some of their shotguns.

Now, regarding the grease... I kind of understand why they grease these guns so much, it's because they're also sending them across the world by cargo ships and that's why they don't cheap out on stuffing their guns with grease - in order to prevent any possibilities of the guns catching corrosion. When I got my Hatsan mod. 125, the first thing I did was to clean every last bit of grease from the bore of the barrel and the port in the cylinder, and once that was done I got to shooting it and it's accuracy still holds up to this day - it's quite accurate actually for what it is... And boy, was there a lot of grease in the barrel!

Sheridan  Sheridan/Benjamin/Crosman rear sight removal

After looking online, I found only solutions that meant beating the sight off with a hammer. Not a good idea for a soldier joint. At least to me. So, I came up with this solution. Two identical tiny drill bits and one Buck Rail mount. Could use the Sheridan mount or make a stop out of wood. Removal or install would be the same. Did both my nickel finished Benjamin’s without a hitch.View attachment 513201View attachment 513202
Brilliant! Im putting a williams peep on mine and I will be using your method to remove the iron sight1

FX  FX BOSS Fill inlet sealing problem

I had to replace mine once in 6 years. Had a a correct size but harder material, used it anyway. No problem. I used emery cloth & super fine steel wool on contact surfaces before put on o-ring with some synthetic lube. (Silicone)
Hey Gerry52
Thanks for the hint
I ran a very fine Cratex stick around the id where the Oring has to pass.
Then cleaned the fitting and put in a 90 DURO polyurethane Oring
It worked
I filled slowly in 3 steps bleeding the line between each to make sure the plunger sealed
100, 150, 225B
No problems
And it has been holding air for 6 hours

Now I can finally get to sighting in and running some chrony strings
WOO HOO!

Thanks, again. Gerry

Future of NOE bullet moulds?

I just got an email that some NOE pellet molds are back in stock:

250-27-RF-CC3
a classic diabolo in the lighter weight range
I cast in tin metal and they give me some more options between the Predator GTO 16.5gr. and Baracuda Green 20gr. They shoot well from my Hatsan Mod95.

300-68-FN-BI3
a boat tail "beer-barrel" slug
In tin they fit and shoot well from my Hatsan Mod30 over-compensating breakbarrel

356-84-RF-CC5
also looks like a classic diabolo shape, haven't tried it (don't have a .35)
saw that as well. nice.

Other  Quick release coupling... Standard?

The one thing I do is to check the female fittings for the number of ball bearings in the collar. The more the better and at least five. The cheapie have four, the really good ones have six.

I have notice the GK fittings can be tight, which is good, but too tight can be a pain.

Looking for QR lever mount for the Thermnight.

This Company has reinvigorated my digit ness in air rifles.
I am looking for quick lever attach, detatch for two scopes. the DNT Thermnight is probably really hard to find but I also have their 7-5x56 scope so I would like to have a quick detatch for that huge scope too. Need it to be light as well. Tried AD. My shaft was too girthy for what they wantend in their stock. Not caring about pricing just identifying if a solution exists. Thanks.
