OK.... been looking at chronographs as recommended. I don't see a need to invest heavily in one, as it's only gona be for this purpose, and once things are figured out, it'll likely just gather dust. So, with that in mind, what are the recommendations? It might make some folks gasp, but this...

Thanks Jim! I'll take a look and see what's to be had.

OK! Newbie Progress! I found the COUNTERCLOCKWISE stop! What I need now is how many turns CLOCKWISE to get me in the ballpark for more power without messing everything else up?

That's my issue.... I cannot detect any "stop", when turning it either CW or CCW..... it just keeps turning. I can't even detect any change in the tension on the screw when turning it....either way. Right now I have no idea just where the screw/adjustment is within it's adjustment range. ...

Morning! I've owned my .22 Marauder for a few months now, and two days ago when out for some spring gopher hunting with it. Went through 400+ rounds, and stopped counting at 200 dead gophers. BUT.... on a few of the adults/large ones, it took a second shot to end them. There were no shots...

UPDATE: I sent a pic to Crosman via FB messenger, and got a reply. The reply seemed genuinely surprised, and asked me to call, which I did. I didn't really care about getting them replaced or refunded... just wanted them to know about it, but a super nice lady named Sally, asked me to email...

I was in our local walmart this morning, and as always, checked to see if there were any .22 call pellets to be had. To my surprise, there were several on the shelf, so I grabbed a couple. Once home, I was just about to open the packaging and put them away..... but then..... Look...

I've not studied/don't know the temps involved in airguns, but can say from experience there are hot gases in those too.... especially "springers", which is the first type of airgun that I tried it with. When I got my first springer, I used CLP in it, and it kinda freaked me out when it was...

 Personally, I am not a fan of Renwax because it contains a significant solvent content, designed to "flash off" quickly, meaning it's designed to dry/cure super fast. It does it's designed function perfectly... that being a protectant/coating for fine art pieces. What makes it great for...

 Thank you! That is good to know info. After reading the posts here, I changed out the coolant to 50/50 ethylene glycol (anti-freeze) and water, and even it it doesn't provide greater cooling, hopefully it will prevent any interior damage due to corrosion. Unless I get really heavy into...

That brings up something I've been meaning to ask, and think you've answered.... anti-freeze. It seems to me that with straight water, and the intense heat, things would get nasty quickly (internally). So any old ethylene glycol (anti-freeze) is ok? Or does it require as specific type? I...

Very good suggestions/input, and I totally agree with all of it. I changed out the temp gauge to one that reads in Fahrenheit.... with the probe still in the same place/position. When I was filling the bottle, I noticed that the temp only got above 120F during the last 1,500 of so psi of...

This is what happens when you have a newbie get his hands on the issue of keeping a Yeng Hong Compressor cool. I had an old "A" coil from our central air until sitting around, and thought I'd salvage it for the compressor. It looks horrible....but I can now fill a 30 cubic ft bottle to...
