Hi jem91. As I said in my previous post (post number 19), the problem is that the O-ring on the set screw nearest to the piston needs to be replaced. Here is a thread that has a picture in the 1st post. In the picture you will see a set screw O-ring that has a red asterisk next to it. THAT...

My buddy is real -- not an imaginary friend that takes the blame for the dumb stuff I do. I like taking credit for my own dumb stuff. After he bought his Daisy 880, I bought a Daisy 901. I really like the 901 and I will never shoot BBs out of it -- lead pellets only. He dropped by a few days...

My FX Maverick .30 Sniper has had MANY names since I bought it four years ago -- none of the names are family friendly. stovepipe

If you are talking about an FX AMP regulator, then the problem is that the O-ring on the set screw nearest to the piston needs to be replaced. Bleed the air from the rifle, unscrew the set screw all the way to remove it, replace O-ring on set screw, replace set screw. Follow the usual...

Hi Freddy J. Look at it from this perspective. If you wanted to destroy your valve assembly as quickly and efficiently as possible, you would bleed all the air out of the gun, then max out the hammer spring compression, then cock the gun and pull the trigger. The valve assembly slams into a...

Hi Mark B. Check out this thread https://www.airgunnation.com/threads/dots-peeps-or-scopes.1335371/ There is a post (number 12) showing a red dot and the poster says it's OK with spring piston rifles. It's also inexpensive, so not much to lose. Cheers. stovepipe

Yeah, that's kind of why my buddy bought it. It's just always ready for shooting something with BBs. He's killed a bunch of squirrels that were fighting him for the rights to his Apricot tree. Now that the squirrels are gone, he's started plinking at 15 yards. I played with it a bit and love...

My buddy bought a Daisy 880 pump rifle that has a rifled barrel for shooting .177 pellets and can also shoot steel BBs. He only wants to shoot BBs because he wants to be able to keep his eye on the target while pumping for "follow-up" shots. So, for him, it's a dedicated BB gun. We both know...

Hi bchannell. I had big-assed extreme spreads with my maverick .30 sniper shooting slugs for a while and half my problem was that the jam nut had loosened up. I snugged up the jam nut and that instantly brought my extreme spreads down from about 45fps to about 20fps. The other half of my ES...

What gun? stovepipe

Does your gun have a plenum pressure gauge? stovepipe

Hi Airgun-hobbyist. I have recently found that my fx maverick .30 sniper shooting nsa 54.5's (1:18 twist liner - 700mm) also prefers a "leaded-up" barrel for a tight air seal. My friend and I don't even refer to the barrel as being "seasoned" anymore. Now we call it "sealed". I didn't used...

Hi BriannaHuffx. What air rifle are you using? How far are your targets? I'm just curious since this is your first post here on AGN. You could just start your own thread under "General Discussion" and call it "Another New Member -- Howdy" or whatever you want to call it and put a first post...

Hi DeanB. You're right. I meant for it to be a serious question, but I was too vague in the way I asked. Thanks for understanding. stovepipe

This video explains how to adjust the trigger and change the behavior of the safety switch. Start watching at about 32 minutes into the video for the trigger stuff. stovepipe
