    Gamo junk Swarm Fusion 10x G2

    I finally got the scope mount fasteners to stay tight. I used some Vibra-TITE VC-3 Threadmate locking compound. It seems to be holding well.

    Will Red Oak work?

    Red oak is not a dense grain material like walnut or beach. It might make a decent stock, but I do not think it will. The only thing red oak is used for is flooring. If it was good for gun stocks the manufacturers would be using it because it is more available and cheaper than traditional stock...

    Gamo junk Swarm Fusion 10x G2

    Sorry for the delay. This is the set up I have been using. The factory rail (11mm to 11mm) attached to the receiver. Then a mount adapter (11mm to weaver with three cross screws) ) with the scope attached. The factory (11mm to 11mm ) seems to serve no purpose except to raise the scope about...

    Gamo junk Swarm Fusion 10x G2

    Yes I degreased everything when preping for locktite. The scope rings and the side screws on the adapter (11mm to weaver) have held up nicely with the locktite applied. It is just the stock screws up front and the linear movement at the 11 mm grooves that i can't stop from loosening. I am going...

The scope rail on the thing is soft aluminum and any scope mount adapter with the vertical pin to stop linear scope travel simply starts battering a groove in the...

    velocity?

    I do not have a way to measure at that location. I am going to see about an RMA from AirGun Depot and request a replacement.

    velocity?

    Do you think it could actually be reversed? The pellets feed perfectly from the magazine but I simply do not see how the thing will group in a gallon bucket at 20 yds. As soon as the weather cooperates I will put it on my bench and see what it does. Anybody else on here ever scope their Gamo?

    velocity?

    I received the gun as a gift and am absolutely new to the world of air rifles. I am an experienced reloader and shooter of conventional pistols and rifles. When I received the rifle I ran a couple of dry patches down the bore to remove oil or any foreign material present. I then examined the...

    velocity?

    What approximate velocity should I expect from a new 22 cal Gamo Swarm 10X G2 using H&N Baracuda Hunter Extreme (18.5 gr)?
