Oke doke, here are some pictures. Plenty of sun should have some good detail.

It turns out there is a way to manipulate the above video so that you can go frame by frame. 1. tap the play icon 2. a left arrow will show up, tap that, it will display the controls 3. swipe till the enlarge icon shows up, tap on that. 4. tap the play icon, and then capture the the...

I have put back together the new in the Air Rifle Headquarters box Anschutz 250 that I bought a few weeks ago. 56 years in the box, never shot, no rust, perfect wood. Stunning looking rifle, perfect in every way. I really love the 220 I have and this 250. No plastic anywhere, except for the...

Ok, great, thanks, I found A.G.R and attempted to send a PM. Apparently I have not made enough posts and can not do a PM? I followed the "hover over my Icon or their Icon" instructions, and I do not see any option for a PM. If you could send him one I would appreciate it. I have looked...

Hi Fishing43, AGR, is that AirGun Revisions? if not, what is his member name? is he a moderator? Thanks ahead of time. :)

Hello again citizens of Airgun Nation. it has been 3 years since I last posted. True to form, I got busy with something else. I promise to be faithful from now on. Anyway, I have been thinking about airguns and airgun engineering / design for years, 57 to be exact. Today I had...

Update: I disassembled the block completely, everything except the safety toggle arm. None of the aluminum parts or the block had any corrosion, and the steel parts had no rust except a slight amount on the hammer spring guide in the area enclosed by the aluminum cap, but it is a non moving...

Thanks all who have advised. I will try out those methods. If they do not work I will try a trigger block teardown. I am a pretty good with tools, have worked on springers for decades, and am curious to see if the internals are rusted, so would not mind taking the trigger block apart, even...

I bought this gun for experimentation with the arrow barrel, and then stored it in the safe for 3 years, and recently decided to sell it. (I needed 10 posts to be able to use the classified, and wrote some things about my 54 year involvement with air guns that is posted in the general...

Thanks Keahi and Puma Carl for your kind words, much appreciated. Well, some good news. r1lover sent me an idea about how to approach the locked safe. Just walk up to it without thinking and just twist the dial and muscle memory takes over, and voila: it opened. The combination is 59...

Thank you for understanding r1lover, much appreciated

Hello shoppers: I bought the independence out of curiosity, so it has hardly been used. I was doing R&D at the time for a concept I had for a compound bow. I have been into airguns and archery since I was in the 8th grade, and was always more interested in how they worked than in shooting...

Post Script: Went to the gun safe in my shop thinking I was going to get out the FX Independence I wanted to sell, take pictures etc and post in the classified, and could not remember the combination!!!! And I could not find the card that had the combo on it that I always had hidden in the...

Thank you to all of you that said nice things about my writing, you were all so polite, not wanting to hurt my feelings by yelling: YOU BLOCKHEAD, STOP STARTING A NEW TOPIC WITH THE SAME OLD TOPIC, JUST KEEP GOING IN THE REPLY BOX!!!!!!! See you down yonder, Ballistics

Hi all, I feel like such and idiot, but then, that is often the case these days. I do not feel old just sitting here tapping the keyboard, but when I get up I do. And when I look in the mirror. Anyway, I was confusing creating a new topic with a post, and so created 8 new topics instead of...
