    Crosman No more 2240?

    Amen to that If it was such a good pistol to begin with why did it open up another industry for the upgraded parts. Yes it was a basic pistol and very cheap but by the time you finished buying this and that from the modified parts bin the only thing original was probably the handle frame lol...

    Kral Arms Having a little fun ... Crank up the power ... Quiet it down !! KRAL "Super Duty" .25 CAL

    That's a good day out with all that air motorhead. The superduty is very much the np02 on steds. A tinkerers delight as you well know. All the krals have that horrible twang and resonate like a piano fork and I eventually found it to be poppet spring . I cant wait to see the finished article...

    FX Fx2000 fill issue

    Hi bud Your best bet is to strip it down and eradicate the problem with the poppet valve. If the gun is still on original orings it will need sorting anyway. These are not to hard to work on. On the plus side they are super accurate rifles and well worth keeping hold of. Spend a bit of money...

    Air Arms CZ 200

    Hi pianogun I would go plenum route as to keep it compact " I know it's more work for you but your obviously talented on the engineering side. Have you opened up the transfer port at all. As you may know these guns were never meant to be a power house to start with. Its been a while I messed...

    GMI Press and Dies

    Hi qris To replace the original adjuster will take about 5 mins max. As it's only a grub screw a small spring and a small rounded metal insert that holds the actual transfer port adjuster in place. Once these 3 pieces are removed the adjuster will push out. The grub screw should be located on...

    Tuning Kral Puncher Power adjuster

    Hi oris Why replace it/ have you drilled it out already. I would drill the existing first and see where your at. Thammers first option of using a threaded bolt and tapping a thread is easier than getting a bolt and removing threads and cutting grooves for the orings and guide pin " it just...
