The PNotos Project update.

if you are going to use a linkage for the trigger, hit up your local Hobby shop, they should have model airplane control rods and clevises/Heim joints that would work great.
Didn’t even think of that. Thank you for the suggestion. Right now I’m going with a basic mechanism that uses a rod to push the trigger. If that doesn’t work well or maybe even for version 2.

Huben  Observations Shooting Huben GK1 V3 - Offhand

Well if it helps it took me a year to be a good pistol shooter.good not great.I had the same experience with my .45 ,I thought a new barrel would help,..The gunsmith was next to a shooting range range ,he put all shots in the bullseye and handed my 45 back to me and said, "buy more ammunication and practice more,there nothing wrong with your pistol.".......

Diana  High quality German engineering........

these pistols were being sold as Snowpeak SP500 which they are, before they showed up as Diana P-Five and what a stupid name
naming a new pistol the same as an old pistol but just spelling the FIVE
now the pistol itself looks and feels good in the hand, my sights are good and you can see the barrel is centered in the breech
but the trigger from the factory are as bad as you can get
now there was a hole in the trigger for a 3mm screw but there was never a screw installed in any of them and now i have read that hole has now disappeared
there is a silver screw that holds the sear down and i found that needed to be lowered so with and adjustment screw in the trigger and the large head silver screw being lowered pass the frame surface the trigger is now just heavy
the pistol in reality is a piece because of the trigger

Ya, i checked you threads / posts on it before i bought . Not looking for anything spectacular and knew it was a snowpeak but still ..lol . Like i said just needed a cull pellet and tin can gun and or it pretty much fails at that.

I mean the barrel coming loose from the breech block ? Thats a first for me in any gun .. even the commings tool truck 20$ china springers were better than this .. not much but somewhat better .. lol.

FX  Another firearm guy falls victim to the airgun bug !

As it gets harder to be a powder burning enthusiast here in California. Air rifles is great alternative in staying in the game.

Yep, the soul suckers in Sack-0-Tomatoes haven't quite gotten around to air guns yet. "great alternative" is entirely dependent on you tolerance for abuse, generally self-inflicted and the balance of your funds to support the addiction....errrrr sport. I'm in the South Bay Area.

Newbie question on controlled filling of air rifle

I worried about filling my Prod from my Yong Heng because it only stores 60cc at up to 3000. I quickly learned that it still takes most of a minute and is very controllable. Now I use the YH to fill a bottle and fill guns from it including the Prod. That can be even faster but is also very controllable. Fast fills are undesirable anyway. The air heats up and then you don't have the pressure you think you have. Best to go slow.

How to "field dress" your hogs and other game?

Please don't torch the hair on other animals. Skinning most animals is fairly easy with good knives and a place to hang them. It's tougher in winter when they typically pack on more fat. Torching hog hair works for because people eat hog/pig skin separate from the meat. It's faster than dipping them in boiling water and scraping the hair off. Raccoons have glands that need removal or the meat tastes funny. Dressing mammals is pretty straight forward. Internally we're pretty much a tube. Remove the tube.

Crosman  Can you name any of else 2240 modifications?

when i got to Blue fork back in the day they were hardly making any part and the 1911 frame was not on their page at the time
i wanted a raw frame and they made one or had one they hadn't set out to anodize
at the time i was working on a Cothran piece that had been start by someone else and that rabbit hole with the Nickel Swift scope would was at the time over 800.00
so, the grip frame
Blue Fork was about 120.00
adapter was about 20.00
and the Harrett grips that are selling for 200.00 now were about 75.00
so just for that apart you have over 200.00
the scope a 2-6 x32 is over 300.00
did i say rabbit hole
now the barrel was covered in stainless tubing
and the rest of the Cothran stuff is slow disappearing he as i believe has stop making parts
the hay day of the 2240 builds are gone plain and simple
the small part suppliers are gone
