Excellent advice. 850 is where I usually start and go up to whatever is good. Barrels are different and even different barrels from the same place will shoot differently. Some of mine really like high velocities, even approaching 950 -960. I do know that at long distances of 75-100+ the spin in...
I wasn't criticizing you just trying to understand the problem. It sounds like you have a gunked up check valve. Cleaning out is the far better option that using water, even though I understand they don't want to have a new user tearing into it, so this is their best shot at clearing it. I...
Well, lowering the hammer spring shouldn't have any effect unless it was pushing on the valve, which I kind of doubt it was. As to the transfer port, that also has no effect on the guns abiilty to hold air, as it is after the firing valve. Check the obvious things first, the gauges, fill valve...
Whether the vent is in the right place or not, the hole wasn't nearly the problem that the washer is. Sorry for piling on, but I been there, hard lesson to learn. Don't feel too bad, if it weren't for failure at experimentation, nothing would ever get invented.
As you may know I got a Accushot 3-12X44 on a trade and the mildot reticle is just a tad to thick for precision shooting. Since I really liked the scope really well, and was surprised at the lens quality I decided to take a look at the OP3 version of these scopes which is a bit of a step up, and...
Hw100 won't make the under 7# requirement, but it's a great gun. Crown/Royale is an excellent choice. My 380/177 Crown is a laser and gets a lot of shots. Don't need a 700cc bottle, you could go 580 for tons of shots.
The 177 Katy Long I had was one of the most accurate, consistent rifles ever and i never had a single issue with it. My only complaint is I wanted a bit shorter rifle. If I could fine a compact version, or even a standard I'd jump on it if money was available at the time.
Well I finally settled on a grease for the gear case. The Chevron Open Gear Grease pictured above. No other grease stayed on the teeth as well. The other grease were leaving the gears dry after only a week or so of heavy use. The Chevron grease, after 3 weeks of daily use, still covered every...
I'm with you brother. Anything run by the government......is a mess. More packages shipped now than ever in history and the PO is losing billion$. Go figure. And their package insurance, don't even get me started on that!
I'm missing something here. You did a deadhead of 32 sec but we're hoping for better? You saw times posted a few sec better? You're chasing your tail. Those times are for reference, not for a record time. There are differences between compressors than will cause a few sec difference, not to...
Large compressors are probably as dangerous as an internal combustion engine. If you're talking the small 12v compressors, there's just not enough air volume in them to do much more than burst a hose or crack the block etc. I would really be surprised if they would throw any dangerous amount of...
Love those guns, I was thinking around $800, so the 500-1K is reasonable. Those are incredible guns and most last a long, long, long time before actually needing to be rebuilt. Even when they do, it's a simple and fairly cheap job.
Almost new condition. If you've ever used one, you know about perfect tracking, clear glass and mil/mil reticle/ turrets. This is the extra cost side focus version 10yd ti inf. $200 shipped east of mississippi
Excellent shooting DT 22 w/ Hawke best scope. Like new. 2 170cc al cyls ans a cf 300cc cyl. No moderator. $1000 shipped east of Mississippi. West is plus $20 Scope on gun in photo is not the Hawke. I would consider a trade for a Brocock Sniper 22 or maybe a 177, especially a Sahara, or similar.
I don't know if I'm going crazy or not, but the ONLY complaint I have with the 3-12x is the slightly thick mildot reticle. Sooo, Amazon had a sale on returned OP3 versions of the compact with moa turrets/reticle and I bought a 3-12x and a 4-16x. These have fine reticles and even at 16x clear as...
