Nobody I really have not been paying attention to shot count. It was nothing to write home about though. I was concentrating on quieting this thing down. That is pretty much taken care of now. The reg seems to work well. 10.5's at a constant 840/850 over a large PSI range. Haven't looked to...

I really would be happy if this gun late Crosman 7.9 grain but it definitely prefers a 10.5 it pushes them out the barrel at 850 to 860 Right now shot count kind of sucks because it's got so much hammer bounce. I want to make a HDD but I have to get the hammer in my hands first. I believe it...

I picked up a 13615. Yeah for under 200 bucks I figured what the f. Give me something to play with. From the factory the trigger sucks, but it's an easy fix to make it definitely usable. You replace the trigger return spring which helps some. And your shorten the trigger rod up about an eighth...

I recently purchased my second GX compressor. It's an EK5 two-cylinder model. It's fast it's super quiet fills my 74 ft³ tanks pretty quick. I really like, it I think it's going to work out well. 15 to $1,700 bucks. You can get it through Amazon or direct from GX.

You have salt water in your pool?

At the moment I have three talon pistols. 177, 20 and 25. I really like them, and I like you, have better guns to shoot but these are just fun. Easy to work on and pack a big punch for a 12-in barrel.

Glad you got it

That's freaking aawesome. I've been an owner, operator, machinist in a tool shop my entire life. I'm 70 and retired now but I have a lot of equipment in the garage. So I build a lot of my own stuff including "lawn mower equipment" 😁

Okay, this shows my sear installed on the gun. That little circular area on the trigger doesn't even contact the sear at all. That the wooden pointer / toothpick shows the area on the plastic side cover I had to remove for clearance. The seer actually covers the hole for the safety.

I'll get a pic today and post it here. I was going to wait till I get all my parts rounded up to build my "garage gun". But it will be a couple weeks before the flat top piston arrives. Monday till the air stripper material gets here. Got the barrel finished up yesterday, but still have to put...

The ones I made are a lot longer and require you remove the safety. That way I get a lot of mechanical advantage. I should open a gun up and post a pic of the sear in place. It's as close to the trigger pivot as possible.

I used some adhesive backed felt. Picked a 8 x 11 sheet for a buck. Works good.

Obviously you're good with your hands. You should try making your own sear. Piece of steel, 3/32 to 1/8 thick. You will need a drill press to drill and tap the #2-56 adjustment screw Have to remove the safety, ball & spring, and grind the plastic wall that retains the spring. A couple of 1/8"...

Try cocking the gun before you pump it up. If that works then you need a little bit heavier valve spring. Or you just cocked the gun every time you want to pump it up.

Never said he was going to modify it, alter it, make a new one, any of that. I just said that I don't know how much response he is going to get with rule number five.
