The dreamlite has an adjustable hammer spring knob on the left side of the gun, my classic does not so your gun is very different in that aspect. I only have knowledge of the classic configuration.

So I think you have a different gun than I do if you look at the picture mine is a dreamline classic you must have one of the guns with a chassis style stock those are very different in the way they work

So I kept the original Hammer weight and just added a heavier duty spring, it's a simple matter of unscrewing that piece out of the back of the action and letting the hammer/spring fall out, I bought an additional piece and I don't remember where I got it I think it was off of eBay that goes in...

Yes

My only issue with the gun is that the bottle is exposed without a support on the underside of the forearm if you have synthetic stock you could build a picatinny rail for end to put a bipod on or just rest the gun on instead of resting it on the bottle. In other words make a forearm where there...

Not sure what that part is called but it's the one at the bottle screws into came from a chassis gun parts list. I believe that was the only part I had to buy, because it was a wood laminated stock I did quite a bit of woodwork to try and make it look good and be robust enough to use in a field...

I'll comment once more then drop it as well, maybe things are different out here in Colorado because pretty much all public lands require a permit to hunt on , if they don't they still require you to have a license to hunt anything and it's ridiculous but I really mean anything including...

My response to that is a question, do the golf courses where you live let people play for free who ask nicely? 1950 was 73yrs ago,the world is a very different place now, accept that fact. Game, anything that can be hunted legally is the definition by the state here, that includes mountain lion...

I would disagree with several of your points, there's more game now than I've ever seen, more elk, deer, mountain lion and bobcats where I live and hunt than in the last 45yrs. Now that being said they're all on private land that's either been bought up by city people who don't want anything...

So if your not a tinkerer than almost any pcp gun fits the bill, I really like any kind of guns that are easily modified or personalized. It's a testament to my mechanical and technical skills with a dose of creativity for good measure. Here's my FX dreamline I converted to a bottle gun, with a...

As far as the tuning goes a lot has happened in the last 6 weeks, I tried a heavier hammer weight which didn't do anything for speed and put a new scope on the gun. Also fine tuned the regulator pressure and hammer spring adjustment to get 992fps with the jsb 13.43gr slugs. I've shot 4 raccoons...

Better pictures

I finished the stock today, I used a section of the cut off forearm for a cap ahead of the guage and fill fitting. The stock was pretty thin there so utilized a rabbit joint to make it thicker. As a reminder this is my Dreamline classic conversion to a bottle gun.

So I did read it and also read all the congratulatory responses which is exactly what most people who post statistical luck groups are fishing for regardless of what they say in the accompanying post, looking for an ego booster.

Should the stem and threads of the regulator be lubricated.
