Thank you! I did back off the hammer adjuster, looks like I may need to back it off a little more.That will happen if there is reg creep and the hammer setting is above the knee.
Coltri is doing good! Still filling my bottles.Me too, FX is always fun tuning
I don't think they will supply a new block to me, how many rifles would that first batch be! If it is only this that has been adjusted, I can live with it. In the meantime, I have made a nice appointment with Sekhmet for the delivery of an M8x1 manometer. You cannot buy these in Europe and shipping US to Europe is expensive and there are guaranteed to be additional import and tax costs.
B.T.W. how is the coltri doing?
Is this the part you are referring to? Cape Fear Airguns has them on sale for 50% off...There are set screws as pictured above available. The Dreamline set screw fits the DRS. Only problem is the hex hole in the set screw is smaller than the hex hole of the spring screw. So you must take the set screw completely out to adjust the hammer spring. It should be made opposite with a larger hex hole so you can just back it off to make an adjustment to the spring with the smaller hex wrench. I’m going to enlarge mine . Sorry I don’t have the source of the set screw. I bought it a couple years ago for my Dreamline and never used it because of the smaller hole problem.

That stock must of been designed for "Smurf,s" ..I got my spacer on, and it looks like I need to do some more sanding, but it fits. I also put the sling studs on. I used the long ones for a wood stock. They seem real snug. Once I am sure about it, I will put a dap of epoxy on it. I may put a couple of QD cups on it, too, just for more options.

Swedes must be a lot shorter than Americans!!!That stock must of been designed for "Smurf,s" ..
Yes that’s the one. I’m drilling mine out and going to put a large slot for a straight blade screw driver . Easier than filling a new hex hole.Is this the part you are referring to? Cape Fear Airguns has them on sale for 50% off...

yeah, a 25-grain going 860 at the muzzle; wonder how slow it is at 40 yards?I have been at war with an influx of Cow birds with my new DRS. I tuned it to shoot the Monster Hades 25 grn. At 860 fps which I thought was sufficient for anything coming into my yard / woods. They shoot fantastic off the bench. But I can’t seem to hit these birds at 40 yards even with a good rest. i have come to the conclusion that they are jumping the pellets. I can see the pellet if the sun is just right and they are on there way before it gets there. I changed to my Dreamline today . It shoots the 15 grn Hades at 910 fps and bam , big difference 50 fps. makes. So now I have a new benchmark for velocity. I don’t think there would be a problem with furry critters but these birds are wired with a hair trigger.
