New gun ordered!

Yesterday I received my two Cometa air rifles and like them so much, and today I ordered a new tuned Cometa Fenix 400 Premier in .22 caliber from Keystone Airguns. Charles
It is back together and I'll be testing it tomorrow for you. Here are some pictures to hold you over until you get it! Hope you like it!

Dang! Happy for him, sad for me lol... Out of the Premier in .22! I don't think I need the adjustable comb on the Star and I like the lighter tone wood. I'm sure you'll get more. What a beautiful stock with lots of character.

Can you tell us more about your tuning process or options?

Congrats to sekiar on a sweet collection.
 
such a beautiful machine.....i gotta have one🧑‍🌾
They're pretty hard to beat for the money. Its a 17ftlb hammer in a pretty walnut stock that weighs about 7.2lbs... for under $300. I should note though that @sekiar lucked into placing an order when I just got some demo metal triggers in so his got upgraded for free so I could test one. They typically come with synthetic triggers (that work absolutely fine!!) from the factory. The upgraded triggers will be available and very cheap shortly though. They are insanely easy to put in. Take the stock off and push out one pin remove the old trigger and then install the new one. In and out in under 5 minutes and then you just need to carefully adjust it to your liking.

Its a pretty straightforward tune and really is more of a cleanup than anything else. The factory rear guide is built into the trigger assembly and is a bit loose for my liking. In all honesty it works absolutely fine and with even a little lube the gun is virtually buzz free. Anyway, I remove that factory guide, add a flat spacer in its place, and then add a solid acetal guide that I make here with better tolerances. This adds a bit of preload so I compress one coil so the gun isn't over sprung. From there I just hit the non compression area of the main tube with a ball hone to clean it up some and lube everything back up and put it back together. I do all of that for $60 which is basically a steal IMO.

More guns are on order so I promise you you didn't miss your opportunity to get one!

If you want one sooner just place the order for one in .177 and I'll swap calibers for you over to .22

Geez. The customer service you offer is astounding.

I can wait. I have one Hatsan and one Crosman that are going down the road first. The Crosman has a bid so it's as good as gone and the Hatsan needs a minute of my time first but it will go just as quickly on FeeBay.

Fair enough! If you change your mind just text the number on the website and I'll make it work.
