This is common to all the Crosman pumpers and is simply fixed. The reason the pump arm locks up correctly in place is because the pump mechanics force it to happen when they are lying perfectly straight and fully home in the piston chamber (as they should be) The reason the pump arm is loose is...

Nice work, I once did an extra length barrel conversion for .177 but never played with .20. I did not run out beyond the muzzle of the gun to spoil the appearance but used up the void ahead of the OEM barrel and picked up .22fps. I think I had the only 440fps 75 on the planet for a while.

It's interesting that charging a 75 is often mentioned as being tougher than the twice as powerful 45/P1 This is because you can generate more power and leverage from triceps than the larger appearing bicep. With the 75, your right hand fights against the force coming from the compressive force...

Have experience of these being English and repaired one. Beautifully made, almost like old time English craftsmanship. Great attention was made to the finish and bluing in line with the reputation of Sterling but they had limited experience of airgun design, in reg the internal specs and balance...

It's not so much the choice of your airgun (as you should be able to choose the one you want and sight it up accordingly) but the type of Red dot you buy. After the last 10 years I'm pretty much done with Micro Reflex. They promise so much, being compact, good looking and having no effect on...

That's great information friend thank you. It looks very nice with a clean simplicity just like the 150 it's fixed to.

Nice ...could you tell me more about the Leupold scope ..

Can be one of 3 reasons. Most common is the trigger lightening adjustment screw has gone too far to the far margin and not holding sear. If you can draw your barrel back but it's not holding this is the reason and the simplest first step. Simply adjust the trigger adjustment screw back a turn...

Yes, if the barrel is not stamped .22 on the top, it is not from the Webley factory but one made in Turkey. These were made to suit the Turkish lower body after the Webley factory closed and not that compatible with the OEM Webley/ Supplied to Beeman/USA model you have there. Luckily for you...

You could try a couple of dry fires to ensure sealing and a touch of Silicone oil. It's not recommended for mating steel parts like cocking linkages but the slight meniscus it makes allows PTFE seals to seal. Also you could get the spring out to inspect for straightness.

Don't forget the RWS 5 grainers are going to be a good 2 grains lighter than the Hobby and should be coming out in the upper 400s or even 500 when at 5 grains. This means nothing is wrong with the Hobby selection here. From your information the gun is a good 50 fps down on only average potential.

The Tempest and all the other variants has the barrel above the cylinder to create a length which could correctly be handled as a pistol. It makes for a very appealing design. However, while far more appealing than any other pistol (the Crosman 150 and Abas major accepted) it has the piston...

During my 3 weeks in Florida years back, I was a bit shocked to find biscuits on the main meal id ordered and asked if they were chocolate, or plain and thinking they must include the sweet with the main meal over here. The waitress looked at me a bit dumb and rocked up 10 minutes later with a...

Wadcutter that's a Beautiful gun, in the same beautifully simple way, it's English equivalent would be the Airsporter Mk1...never bettered IMO.....except maybe this. The Imperial Express.

Cheers buddy, I agree the true English can be a bit insensitive at times for the sake of making a jovial point. Sometimes the sense of humour is missed by the rest of the world and the dumb Englishman left wondering why he's upset people. That correct technique as you state (as far as Webley...
