I'm pretty sure there's no oring in there, but not positive. There certainly is no groove for it, unless there's a ring in there that I can't see. Anyway, for the first time ever, I gave up and sent the Impact to AOA for a reseal. I've got too much to do right now and I just couldn't see what it should have looked like. So, 4 weeks and it'll likely be fixed, and I can move on to other stuff.

My reg looks different than most, it has two tiny internal orings in the "house", one for the piston, and one for the adjustment screw. They looked hard to change, but turned out really easy. There is one on the piston, easily changed. There is on on the outside end of the "house" also easy to change. I did all that and it still leaks. There may be a flattened, hard oring in the action, but I couldn't tell and didn't want to go digging, not knowing for sure. The "house" does have a black mark/ring on it, that looks like it has been in contact with an oring, but for the life of me, I couldn't make it out. Anyway, it's their problem now.

you know i know nothing about these rifles but i am a quick learner
so the seal that makes these rifle run is the part group 360ab but in that group the seal is called an Abutment and a new word for me
now JG airguns show them, and the price is fine but there shipping can take the fun out of it
https://www.jgairguns.biz/860-c-78_186_234/dai860t5-abutment-p-16330.html
now as i read and look it was an interesting little rifle
now there are parts out there and the problem is where are they and how to find them and that becomes the impossible part and believe me i have been chasing parts for all sorts of brands for 20 years
the factory or JG will be your source for parts and if Daisy has them the price plus the shipping costs will be far less but as Crosman had done in the past and Daisy i would think also, they sell the parts off to a parts seller and they become the only place to play and you pay their price or hope you find the Unicorn you are look for
and one last thing any parts will be as old as the last rifle produced and that matters little when it comes to hard parts but in the case of soft parts seals and the like they are not fresh by any means and that would or could be in most cases
good luck Mike

Hello fellow air gunners:

Due to some temporary scheduling overlap, only 3 brave shooters came out to enjoy the Texas warmth and friendly competition. Temperatures were 80’s at the start warming to the low 90’s at the end. A moderate, very gusty wind made things interesting early in the match. Additionally, the wind direction moved around a lot, at times coming from the west, something we rarely see. For the most part, it died down as the 60 shot match progressed.

The results:

1st. Robert D., Daystate Red Wolf, Hawke 8 -24 x 56, JSB 13.43 gr, 52/60, 87%

2nd Glen D., Ghost, Sightron, JSB 13.43 gr, 45/60, 75%

3rd Sheppard M., Cricket Z Tac, Crimson Trace, JSB 13.43 gr, 40/60, 67%

Next match: Saturday, 12 October 2024

Gates open 0800, 8 a.m., Safety Briefing and match start 0900, 9 a.m.

Airgun Silhouette Match

The Boerne Shooting Club, located a little west of San Antonio just off IH10 has been a Schutzen and .22 rimfire venue since 1864 (yes, 1864, not 1964). Leo D. and myself with a lot of help brought Field Target there in 2014 when Yegwa (spelling, I know…) closed as the only Field Target club in Texas.

Today, the current match director of the Boerne Field Target Club, Sheppard M. and Glen D., the President of the Boerne Shooting Club have worked very hard to bring air gun competitions to the club. See boerneshootingclub.com

The second match of air gun silhouette was held in the afternoon after FT. The match format is still being worked out but is modeled after the Texas 4-H Shooting Project Air Rifle Silhouette Rules (https://texas4-h.tamu.edu/wp-content/uploads/shooting_sports_rules_rifle_air_silhouette.pdf).

Briefly, standard 1/10 scale silhouette chickens, rams, pigs, etc are engaged in 5-shot groups at 10, 12.5, 15, and 20 yard distances for 2 rounds with less than 12 FPE air guns. No animals were harmed…..

Results:
Sheppard M. dominated with 17 points shooting an old Beeman single stroke pneumatic adorned with a red dot, sporting a funky weaver-like stance.
Robert D. eked out 2nd place with 12 points using his old FT rig, a Crosman 1720T with 12x scope, sporting the famous Taco hold.
Glen D. DNF, he warmed up with a beautiful new-to-him 10 meter rifle, but seeing the elite competition he was facing, developed a gun malfunction…..

We all had loads of fun and look forward to seeing this competition grow.

Sizing the slug correctly for a particular barrel is important, but before that, picking a slug and barrel that produce a reasonable stability factor should be the primary selection criteria. Pellets are very forgiving as far as twist rate. Slugs are not. These days, I don’t usually bother with slugs that don’t give me a reasonable value when run through a stability/twist rate calculator. So most every slug I try gives at least decent accuracy.

Thanks for pointing that out TMH!
I almost went off half cocked.
I definitely want a barrel longer than 12".
