    Tim's not a sponsor for the other forum, so they edited his info, but said I could share it there in a PM. I went ahead and sent @manabeknives a PM with Tim's phone and email. For everyone else, here's his contact info: [email protected] (310) 327-3581

    Update from Mac1

    The 1st pellets I'm going to test over the chronograph will be the 14.3 CPHP's, since I found information on three different stock 392's with that exact pellet - that way I'll be comparing apples to apples...that's just the start. I have a bunch of 21.14gr H&N domed (the heaviest I have) and...

    It just now arrived. I attached the stock and remounted the scope. Zeroing the scope and the chronograph testing will be done this afternoon.

    It's scheduled to be here between 11:15 and 1:15 on Monday. My kid has an appointment at 1:00 for an hour that I have to take him to. So about 3 o'clock I'll take the rifle to my mom's, mount and zero the scope, then get chronograph readings. So I should be able to put everything up Monday late...

    The delivery date was pushed back due to Labor Day, current arrival date is Monday, the 8th. But I just checked the UPS tracking and it was in Akron ... less than 10 minutes from my house!!!!! And I still have to wait until Monday 😡

    Retired members here?

    I officially retired December 9, 2022. It didn't actually sink in until late December 2024, the stress and trauma had been that severe. I've lost almost 80lbs, sleep without a CPAP, totally changed my eating habits and even picked up a part-time job at a local gunshop. My sleep pattern is...

    I'm referring to gripping it where your hand rests when shooting the rifle ... behind the trigger guard, not in front of it. Most of my shooting is from a rest or seated. Not enough land around here for a walking shooting session.

    Update from Mac1

    You're off on both. I lay the rifle across my thighs and the scope is between them. All the pressure is on the barrel and buttstock when pumping. The other way, the rifle is held vertically with my hand near (not on) the muzzle, with the buttstock on the ground. My foot is against the stock to...

    Update from Mac1

    My 392 has been scoped since I've had it, as was my dad's 50's Blue Streak. I've developed 2 techniques for pumping with a standard scope ... #1, lay the rifle across my lap with my legs on either side of the scope and the rifle upside-down. Then pumping the rifle. #2, Place the top corner...

    Update from Mac1

    I've already borrowed a chronograph and figured out how to make a bar graph 📊 with Excel. 1st order of business is to mount the scope and zero the rifle (so I don't shoot the chronograph, then test the rufl3 from 1 to 14 pumps and graph that next to the 3 stock rifles that I have FPS charts...

    Update from Mac1

    I understood going in that it would take a month or so. I was just just hoping it would be quicker. I get the impression that Tim finished his part (minus complete reassembly) in around a week, but since he does a complete reseal, including the pump cup (mine had failed and needed replacement...

    Update from Mac1

    I was somehow able to initially contact him through email from an old post on the forums. It took a few days for him to respond and initially, my email bounced back saying his inbox was full, but it automatically resent it twice before he responded. When he did, he gave me the number I listed...

    Odd, that's the number he gave me and I've been using to contact him and the zip code you gave is different from the one I used to ship my rifle to him 🤔

    UPDATE!! August 16, 2025 Tim contacted me last evening. The pump cups are set to arrive August 20th. Other than that, my Benjamin is done, all that's left is for him to do is install the cup, adjust the pump arm and reassemble the rifle. With any luck, I should be doing chronograph testing on...
