Yup, when I put the night vision video scope on my Blitz w/ donnyfl Ronin I was looking for wheels as the next accy. I opted for a tripod instead. I think it is pushing 15 lbs. The tripod is very helpful.

Agreed, less than maximum and more than minimum.

Good thing it was cheap....I shot that chronograph last night. :mad::mad:No parts available of course. I will part it out for the LED light strips, put them on my old Chrony...while not bulletproof other than the display it is pretty much pellet proof. I think the IR LED's should help out the...

Materials do matter. Lubricants matter as well! Ofttimes cheapo China can deliver better service by using very high quality lubricants. My El Cheapo HPA pump being a good example. It's first 3-5 hours of run time were done with just OK quality semi synthetic compressor oil. That oil was replaced...

Interesting this "white metal" you describe. I'm assuming we are not referencing Zamak, which is what a lot of people call "pot metal" Probably the best (worst?) example in firearms being High Point. We often do not consider the quality of the materials themselves today. There are those of us...

Fingers crossed for you. Grrr, I shot my new Chronograph last night, destroying it. I contacted the vendor and they gave me a 1/3 credit on it...as usual no parts available. I will jerry rig the LED light bars off the new one I shot to my old Shooting Chrony. Heck the old Chrony will take...

I recently stuck a toe in to these waters, purchased a Umarex SA10 mostly based on reviews. Yuck, the accuracy was meh, that would be OK if I could count on it feeding and firing each time, it liked to skip a pellet or two. I gave it a chance and messed with it a bit, nope back it went to Pyramyd.

Yes sounds like maybe a linkage fastener came loose jamming the works.

Thank you very much thammer. Reprofiled my sear not quite as radically as your pic, but a greatly improved trigger is the result. Whatever they made those parts out of is some hard stuff. I reprofiled the sear and put a high polish on the engagement surfaces. I cut the parts with a diamond, and...

Sorry I can't resist. There is a fast and easy method to get correct answers to your questions on any internet forum or message board. Post wrong answers and try to sound knowledgeable doing so...;)

It REALLY depends on the product. My gig prior to retirement was selling new technology 3d radiography equipment to dentists and dentists are very busy people. Dental implants are very mainstream, they need my X-ray machine technology to absolutely assure accurate implant placement. If anyone...

I'm having a difficult time right now with an internet vendor. My rule in my business, the product is invoiced when I ship, never prior. I am not commenting on the vendor the OP purchased from. Retired now, I am old school. Some "vendors" in this and other online sales venues is one guy on his...

If there is a way to get a little lime down the hole to the dead critter the lime will make short work of the smell. Assuming you can't get the remains out, it is an option. I've been known to gas the gophers in my yard with auto exhaust..

Let's all share where we can on the coming crazy prices. I bought a chronograph off Temu a couple weeks ago for 32 bucks. Great little unit that I will take some pics and do a review on. This one item delivers an excellent perspective on what is coming, perhaps a little different perspective? I...

Have you tried cleaning the bore?...just a thought after shooting 100 slugs.
