I have a delta and would love an alpha. I would pay shipping for both of ours to go to derrick Wall to swap out both of our guns, ut I got no response back on my message. Lol, i figired no cost would be better than 2-300$.

I've managed to round off the regulator screw on my gun.

It's hard to believe FX made this adjustment screw out of brass. Hardened hex keys don't treat brass kindly!

I've been using a ball nosed hex screw driver to adjust it. I have to avoid the trigger when adjusting so the driver is always at an angle. This appears to be a recipe for disaster even though the popular tuning videos show it being done that way.

Top-Gun Airguns is sending me a replacement but I'm not looking forward to removing the trigger mechanism to get to it.

Has anyone replaced one of these... any help will be appreciated.

Thank you.

Is your avatar AI generated? I clicked on it to get a better look and it's fascinating!

I created a short video the other day, my first AI video, to honor the "first internet meme." A dancing baby in a cube. The original was a computer generated (I believe Flash) movie, and just a baby dancing on a black screen. The good old days...

I made it a GIF. (Soft G. Not like the Peanut Butter...) I am pretty sure this doesn't violate the rules, and it'll work (If you click it) ...

I am not sure, some of the members here created it for me while they were attacking. lol
So I took the idea and ran with it.
I practice wildlife photography. Many years.

I'm glad to here you got your rifle fixed !

Awesome. That’s exactly what I was looking for. So seems ref pressure only plays a minor role in overal fps tuning.

Seems like hammer has a much larger potential affect.

Great data.

Well, those are some great suggestions but if country of origin is important to you, McMaster Carr gets the metric 70 durometer o'rings from Thailand.

Just do a search for USA made o-rings for the USA manufacturers.

If you want "better quality" o-rings, get fresh ones. Formulas and compositions are very close to identical to each other, no need to shop big stores, they may have old -rings sitting on the shelf.

I have found AliExpress to provide fresh and good quality o-rings, others may not have but I'll continue to order from them until I find they don't.

If we were worried about country of origin we wouldn't be buying so many air guns. Just a thought.

Ok, so I got my Guage in and installed!! I use the x-ring per @Ta-Ta Toothie advice and got the guage perfect! Thanks everyone for all the advice!!! This thing is absolutely amazing! It has so many features and is so user friendly!!!!

You are very welcome. I appreciate any and all opportunities to obsess over old springers!

I would add that both have been around for a loooooong time - the 35 born in the mid 1950's; the 30 the early 60's. Both have seen a ridiculous number of changes and variations - for example, this French brochure from the 70's shows the 35 available with five different stocks (standard, thumbhole, Monte Carlo beech, Monte Carlo walnut, and Export):

Think I need the Thumbhole stock version.

Excellent work! I don’t think most realize how difficult it can be to make a swage die set that actually works. I have made several and I am still learning.

What do you use to machine yours?

I have a cnc mill. When you have a hammer everything looks like a nail...same thing applies with a cnc mill. Everything seems like a cnc mill project

I completely forgot phone browsers can do that. I usually select a text and then automatically translate it at the bottom of my phone.

I picked up a Talon P 22 last week.

The thread written by Franklink a few months ago ago plus some Pasadena Mike pushed me over the edge.

I have two set ups with it so far. The 123 top hat makes a nice 22-23fpe with CPHP and AAFalcons.
Swap to the .145 and I can run 18s at 33-34 fpe.

The 12” barrel holds it back for sure. If I put the .166 top hat in it just wastes air.

Accuracy seems good indoor, with the exception of the Daisys, but no gun I have likes those.

It is a very light gun with the power of my AA 500, which is what I was after. As a light gun it is hold sensitive but not hard to figure out. At either power level it is very quiet. Should be with the giant can.
I really like this one.

So now I need an 18” barrel for more power that I don’t really need LOL

Yeah this passadena Mike character helped push me to. Damn enabler
Then I find out my ole friend Mike Leonardi has 4.

Hi I'm also new to the PCP airgun community I have a vevor hand pump and it was working great then one day it got so hard to pump that I bent the feet trying to bump it back up I took it apart completely cleaned all the old grease and everything out everything switched the filter at the head and it's a lil better but it still feel like it's hard to pull up any suggestions on how to fix

Once you get enough posts to use the PM function here, there are options to be found in the Classifieds. Right now, there is a Hatsan Flash, scope, moderator, and hand pump in the classifieds for $200 shipped. I'm not a huge Hatsan fan, but for $200, that leaves a lot of $$ left over for pellets. That Hatsan will take any of the critters you listed above.

Hand pumping it will be a pain, but if used for the occasional pest, shouldnt be an issue.

Welcome to the forum and the rabbit hole.

As the guy with the Flash (THANKS), it is a very good starter and the pumping is a workout.

You can text me at nine two five seven zero eight six five zero four if you are interested.

I don't shoot the Flash anymore but it holds air, has an adequate scope and a moderator to quiet things down. It starts pretty quiet and the Belita is enough to make it very backyard friendly. I can send it full of air.
