From the proportion of the head to the body I'd vote it's a big one. In my experience the younger ones are almost gangly looking and have thinner bodies.

Haven't seen one for ages here in California-there are bluebellies and alligator lizards everywhere though.

You might try reaching out to sniperlaybo which if I remember right is Ernest Rowe's username. He is THE expert on FX rifles and may be able to help.

Sounds like cattle egrets

Good job! It can be tricky getting the valve retaining nut threaded in straight. When I did mine I shaved of a little sliver of brass and it got stuck in the valve-I had to disassemble and reassemble to remove it but it came together in the end and shoots strong now. Did you do the refinish...

Very Nice, R1lover! I had a FWB 124 that I got from Air Rifle headquarters first-I didn't care for the shot cycle (though I could hit what I aimed at), so I sold it to raise the cash for the HW55. I'd love to put a Leupold on mine, maybe someday.....

I too was budget conscious back in those days. I still am for that matter. My 55 was bought off of Beeman's used gun list in 1985. I paid around $250 for it, which most of my friends thought was a ridiculous sum to lay out for a 'bb gun'!

I haven't been shooting at all lately(too busy). I finished up my day with some time and a bit of light left so I grabbed my old HW55 MM, a set of sticks and a stool. I was shooting old JSB 8.4s that were in a pouch. Aim point was the big orange dot. I started at 10 yards. The pellets just kept...

I've done a bit of thread cutting in wood dowels. Birch does not work well. There's a tropical wood called Ramie that cuts beautifully and some lumber store carry dowels made from it. I've dipped the ends of the dowel in melted paraffin wax and that seems to reduce tear out. I got my tap and die...

Just store it away from mice or rats!

There's this guy in California-have not dealt with him. Pricey but nice looking stocks. https://airgunstocks.com/ Looks like Steve P beat me to it

I had the opportunity to shoot one at a FT match. (thank you Ron!) They are an amazing example of the airgun smith's artistry and the shot cycle is dead calm. Do I want one? No thank you. Are they cool? H*** yes!!

You can get 100' hanks of different colored paracord at Home Depot, can't remember if they had camo.

One thing a steel breech definitely does-adds weight!

What- no steel breech? Just kidding. Nice build, the 1322 is a sleeper IMO and well worth having. I really want to build a nice shoulder stock to make mine a carbine, but haven't made time yet.

I have some of the Coleman style chairs from Harbor Freight. They are pretty comfortable if a bit bulky when folded to walk far with, but the fabric deteriorates pretty quickly in the sunlight, so I would not recommend leaving them out in the weather.

You can safely adjust hammer spring tension, hammer stroke, and transfer port without degassing. The adjustments affect how hard the hammer strikes the valve poppet and the transfer port screw allows more or less air into the barrel per shot by closing off or opening up the port. Make notes of...

I might be a little late on this, but a Google search for 'Beeman R9 Disassembly' turned up a fair amount of info...... I was fortunate to have a knowledgeable friend help me with mine..

One thing I have not seen mentioned-Record the current hammer spring, hammer stroke, and transfer port settings BEFORE you start adjusting anything. Take notes of what you change and make any adjustments gradually. Also pay attention to the accuracy-power isn't worth much if you can't hit your...
