    N/A Big bore air rifle ammo

    Best reply I've ever received. Thank you for the advice and I think I should, considering it's a touchy legal issue.

    Also, I wanted to add, that so far everything that I've read tells me that nobody can figure out how to mount an shroud protector for the hammer. Considering the recent issue that I had with mine, this protector would save time, repairs, and possibly injuries to people using it. I figured out...

    I bled it, and stripped it(gently of course). I used 2 part epoxy to secure the shroud again on the chamber end, and since this post, with a few dozen pellets through it, all is well. The tank is still a tidbit loose, but even after examining it with a 60x magnifier, I couldnt find and hairlines...

    I have a separate specific question for you. I have come up with a shroud protector design for the hammer. Mounts on both ends. I can't afford a patent and don't have the time for prototypes. I carry my hammer literally every day and have for five years. I live in the mountains. I was certified...

    Ya, but the loose tank issue, on mine, was actually not very noticeable before it got knocked. Afterwards, it wobbled WHILE at 4500psi. Which obviously freaked me out. So I stripped it down. Complicated airgun. To say the least. Doesn't have any structural damage, and even used a lighted 60x...

    Totally tore down my hammer. That is a fricking complicated piece of air cannon. The shroud was loose, so I used 2 part epoxy. Worked like science. Yes, they need to be built to a higher standard. Why would they use a carbon fiber tube for an outer barrel on a hunting rifle?

    Actually after a few hours of research, I discovered that carbon fiber is put into a vacuum while made. They bond it with what is essentially 2 part epoxy. Jb weld plastic epoxy has a 4500 psi tensile strength and is safe for carbon fiber. I have been using that to secure the shroud of my hammer...

    Hey I have the same question. My wife accidentally knocked my Hammer over when it was on its bipod. Now the barrel shroud is loose and the tank too. I'm not dumb enough to try to shoot it like that, and need to know if it's safe. Also will jb weld work on the shroud to secure it so it doesn't...

    N/A Big bore air rifle ammo

    That brings me to a question that I have. Because it's been getting harder finding pellets for my Hammer, at least cheap ones, I have a dilemma. I am a felon. I'm legally allowed what I have where I live, but as for ammo, my umarex hammer will shoot. 510 caliber black powder ammo. As long as...

    I also have a hammer .510. Not the carbine, the original. I've had it about 4 years? Or three? Can't remember exactly, the first couple of years I had it I lived in Las Vegas. I'm a felon, and certain places are not airgun friendly anyways, especially if the thing sounds like a .30 caliber...
