What is a "bstaley oring mod"? It would be nice to get 2 clips through it before it drops out of the 800 fps area.

So I shot my new Benjamin Marauder pistol a couple of weekends. I didn't bother to chronograph it because the catalogue power/ FPE is lower than what I want. Over the last few days, I made my own transfer port. Factory port is .080" hole, my new one is .125. I also opened up the firing...

OK, 2nd scope arrived. PA sent it to me in reasonable time so that's good but they didn't do what they said they would do and they kept my AO wheel! I'm not impressed. I've spent a truck load of money with them over the years and apparently they don't care. 1. The package was...

It's been way too long since I treated myself to a new airgun... I got the Benjamin Marauder Woods Walker in .22 cal. It came with a dot sight. I ran a few clips through it with that and it's OK, but the dot is pretty big and way too bright. It completely covers up a tennis ball at 20...

I like the "handle" on that one. When I started machining mine I hadn't really thought it out. No drawings, I just started cutting. I thought I'd try to follow the outline of the gun and cut a slot in it. Then I realized that if a pellet flips over the wrong way I couldn't get to it and it...

 Shot over the Chrony today to see how my gun is working. After shooting about 8 clips I got tired of fiddling with them. Nobody sells a single loading adapter that I know of so I made my own. Took me about 6 hours. I think I could cut that in half if I made another. It clips in nice and...

I called and talked to a woman at PA today. I was hoping I could get them to simply look at a few scopes in their inventory and see if they are good, or are like mine. She said they cannot. I have to send mine back , and the warranty/service guys will verify that mine is bad, then they will...

Wow I never thought I'd have this gun apart this many times this year. I think I can do it my sleep now! Anyway, I saw the barrel referred to as "semi floating"?? I can say that it's very flexible when not supported at the muzzle end. The last 2 times I built it, I ended up with a severe...

 Thanks John, I checked out the link and in there I found a link to Airgun Spares in Canada. (and then to John Knibbs Intl.) In the S410 parts they listed an S610H as the firing valve body seal. It looked like the white seal that I believe is in the transfer port?? Anyway, I ordered one.

maybe another "rig" might be to get an o-ring or something that'll fit between the outer and inner pieces. Fill up the gap that allows the side play. hehe, maybe I'll invent a "cheap scope" to "great scope" converter piece and get rich!

Now I'm stuck again. I bought the old style male adapter and after I installed it I found another leak. It's at the base of my pressure gauge adapter block. I ordered an o-ring kit from PA but in the pictures it doesn't look like it has that seal in it. It's not a regular o-ring. It's a...

THAT is exactly what I was seeing. I even showed the sales guy at the store several ones from his inventory that did the same thing.

Tom, This has nothing to do with the parallax. What I was talking about is the end closest to your eye. On my old scope and some of the ones I checked out in the store, you can wiggle the eyepiece. If you wiggle it up and down, the picture in the scope goes up and down too.

Hey guys, Got to try out my new scope today and thought I'd post. I'm not sure how much quality I should expect from a $200 scope but I think they could have done better. 1st, the clarity and brightness are good. I have no complaints there. Even up to 16 power it's pretty good. Eye...

Years ago I discovered there was side to side and up and down play in the eyepiece of a scope I has just bought. I took it back to the store and talked to the clerk about it. I looked at a few other scopes and found that they all seemed to be that way. Now these were fairly cheap department...
