I remember hearing about somebody working on something like this where they were using a compound or polymer gel that would be liquid in one state and quickly harden in another. I don't remember the details. I'm probably wrong but I think it was called a kinetic fluid. I believe it was Hector...

y'know whats really frustrating is when you do ten shots and get two real nice tight groups. one on the left of the target and the other on the right of the target. what do you adjust to fix that? do you sort your pellets? tighten the stock screws? reassess your trigger pull? why does it have to...

Barrel bending is routine procedure for springers. I have a Diana 36 that shoots about 18inches low at 10 yards if the barrel's radial axis is in-line with the radial axis of the compression tube. So, I had to bend it to get it to shoot high enough that I could sight it in. Yes the barrel has a...

I'm agreeing with Shawney. A multi-pump would probably be ideal. Even 12ftlbs would be over kill for little lizards. A multi-pump would allow you to dial in the right amount of kill power. You don't need to pump it all the way up for little lizards. Something like a Crosman 1377. With a sound...

My LGV Challenger, particularly when using a sound moderator. It just makes a quiet "phut". The pellet smack against the target is louder. My least favorite was my D54. That was my loudest airgun. It was louder than my Hatsan 135.

Yes Vibra-tite VC3 is the best threadlocker I've tried. I've tried every threadlocker I could get my hands on. VC3 is the best imo. I prefer to buy several of the little squeeze tubes at a time rather than the glass jar with applicator. The whole jar tends to cure before you use it all. So, with...

Walther tried to make too many different models of basically the same gun, the LGV, and that sucked the profits out of their venture. Its sad that they chose to stop altogether rather than work out their production issues. Blackdiesel, Sorry, the LGV was never made in .25 cal. However, if your...

You mean Eric Pianori and no the Rowan Engineering trigger is not made/designed by Eric. You can only get his triggers directly from him. I have Eric's triggers in both of my LGVs. I also have the Rowan trigger but I've never used it. They aren't better or worse, it just depends on what you...

And I'm sure the price tag was too. You get what you pay for. Only one of my Hatsans I've never done any tuning work on, not that it wouldn't benefit from it- .22 Striker. As for me, I really hated my Hw97kt. I really didn't like that gun and won't buy another HW. I just do not like that...

I have a few Hatsans. They were the only brand who really put out a selection of .25 cal springers and I wanted to learn about .25 cal springers. You could say the novelty influenced me. Hatsans can be nice guns and are better after tuning. A Hatsan 95 can be a nice gun. The walnut stocks can...

double post....

That ratchety sound is probably from the cocking shoe bumping along the spring. You can put a sleeve in the piston. A sleeve can be cut from an aluminum beverage can or a plastic bottle. It serves as a barrier between the spring and cocking shoe. Its a pretty normal sound in springers...

There's techniques for barrel bending. As strange as it may seem to folks not familiar with it, the practice of barrel bending is rather common for springers. In fact, its safe to say the better airgun manufacturers all bend their barrels before final assembly. I know for a fact that Weihrauch...

Oh so they call them cricket bombs. I've made those when I was a kid- about 45 years ago. I'm lucky I didn't severely hurt myself in the process. I had no idea that what we were making was essentially a pipe bomb. We called them CO2 bombs. We were able to blow apart the trunks of trees upto 12...

Sometimes the elevation and/or windage of the poi is affected very much by the pellet. For example: my diana 36 will shoot heavy lead pellets about 4 to 6 inches higher than it does lightweight alloy pellets at 10m. The difference is so much that I have to bend the barrel to make the poi suit...

And then after people started getting electricity, you could find an electric corn cob: https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/1967-electric-toilet-tissue-electric-435016557

I recently saw an English made Patriot/Kodiak go for $700 on Gunbroker. $200 and a $30 seal is definitely worth it. Even an extra $100 and shipping costs to have David work on it is worth it. I bought mine a couple years ago, used, for $450.

Yeah, that top hat is huge! I've tried a bunch of springs in my D56 and found that there's not a lot of room for the spring. All of the springs I tried had the same number of coils. The springs made from the very thick wires would coil bind before the gun was cocked. Not much room at all...
