There are 2 small character scratches in that shinny plastic looking coating , and some circular dents on the bottom nothing in the wood though. I was thinking of fixing them , but I learned not to when I was a Gunsmith. Besides I'd probably make them worse. I tried to download pic's

Unless catastrophic its best to leave the guns character alone .

Maybe add a war story on how it got there .. lol

Like " son, this scratch was made hunting savage squirrel out back along thd western fence when one suddenly leaped at me and i had to defend myself.. .". Bully ..lol

Tested out the 10.03g JSB Knockouts Mk3 on a rabbit. I've been using 13.43g slugs which have been awesome as far as penetration but not expanding reliably...thought I'd give these another try and @ 25yards on the rabbit it expanded well and plenty of penetration...check out the slow motion and pics

I really dislike those super high gloss finishes. I prefer a more satin finish.

Linseed oil, sand paper, linseed oil, sand paper repeat until happy.

Most all mine have the well used and worn scratch and dent finish .

I worked on these today. Karma Eq trigger guards with a lower pic rail. Not perfect yet, but this is the first one off the machine.

Today I cleaned up my Diana 350 magnum. Pulled the stock cleaned out all the dirt , and oiled the blue , and lubes the dry spring. It came out nice will edit pic's asap Posted pic's under "What springer did you shoot today". And under
" Springer Shooting Techniques".

Yes sir. Its a 3 setup part. Two in a vice and one in the 4th axis.

Was messing with the factory tune on my FX Royale 500 just tweaking the hammer spring settings a bit today.

The factory did a good job putting JSB Kings (25.39 gr) just off the knee averaging 888 fps, ES around 8 fps with 1/2 to 5/8 inch (ctc), 5 shot groups at 40 yards. The PCP falls off the reg at 120 bar.

A slight increase to 904 fps dropped the ES to 3 fps and the one group I shot was 3/8 inch ctc.

Looking encouraging

Will do some more testing at that setting to see of it's consistent.

Final paint on twirler thing. All black or white got hard to see certin times of day ( irons st 50y) . This ( so far) white with black paddle seems to that stand out better ...

I like this twirler thing glad i made it up ..

so while paint was drying i scruffed some paint .

5 head shots each


I seemed to of missed once but could of swore i heard clanking 5 times .. oh well cant win them all i guess.

I measured my fill probe on the DRS Tactical and 3D printed a cover. It’s tight on the metal next to the whip and secure, but loose at the orings. I’ll be putting it up on thingiverse later so others can download the model.

No need because I simply don't buy them with that kind of finish.

Bought another Theoben, as well as a .177 barrel for my Rapid mkii

Haven't shot scoped in over a coons age so this morning i slapped the talos 3-12 on the poor ol'gamo. Last i used it was at 75y, but dismounted and remounted after months of laying around in the shop it was still pretty close to on .

Gamo , 50y, gphp.22, 1-1/8" bull

Still that "one" plagues me Everytime.. .

Today I took backwards (lol) cantilever mount off the 350 mag , and used some rings that got it about a inch closer to bore. Then I mounted the cantilever backwards on my tactical Gauntlet , so now I have to turn that around . I was wondering why they put the tightening nuts on the wrong side. Lol
Edit: Tried to turn the cantilever around the right way on the Guantlet , but it would not work
The eye relief on the Spina scope is so far that my cheek was resting on the rear of the stock , so I had to move it to notch 4 which is as far forward as I could get it , and still be able to insert the magazine. Anyway the mount is working good on backwards.

Installed a medium backbone on an ImpactX.

I’ve made my Pathfinder XR even quiter
By adding the foam tube off one of my broken garden chair arm rest .
Just simply slid it over the Deben moderater and what a difference it’s made “
And also looks good too!
