    Gamo Varmint in .177

    I’d simply clean the barrel once then forget it. I use just clp then dry patches. I’ve had a lot of the hunter models, varmint being one. They all share the same tube sizing. You can buy a Jim Maccuri spring for them. His square wire spring is a great choice imo and very accurate. He also has...

    Old Benjamin model c

    My neighbor knows I’m into airguns so I agreed to fix up his old model c. I’m not even sure that’s what it is but it looks to me like it has to be an early model c. It’s missing the bolt at least. I’m going to reseal everything g and try dressing up whatever I can, even if it takes buying a...

    Ok 50 yard R9 groups.

    That’s really good for a break barrel. I love HW barrels. Most companies slap a lothar Walther barrel on their branded air guns and call it good. Not HW. They make their own and they’re darned good. I do t have any experience with their 22s but after seeing that center group of yours I’m going...

    My little projects

    I found this from like 2 years ago when I first started tuning the CFR. Even then I was looking good at 35 yards with JSB Exacts. I also had an old tin of HN FTTs that shot better and got me under half inch or thereabouts at about 50 yards but I tried to save as much of those as I could because...

    My little projects

    Other hobbies have taken hold but I’m leaning back toward air guns I think… CFR was glass bedded with devcon 10110 but found it’s more accurate with just a pillar bedding and the tube free floated so it’s currently in that configuration. Has a touched up GRT blade. I’ll be making some sort of...

    CO2 in cold weather

    Lol that’s awesome. I wish I had my old CO2 set up still. I had bull fill on everything and a giant co2 tank from a soda machine I’d simply drop off at air gas for refills and could shoot for years. I never had a problem in winter here as 25 was about as cold as we’d get. Have you used a chrony...

    SEEKING ... underlever springer ... project gun ... NIB

    Agreed. The b21 and b19 were probably the first two air guns I ever tuned. My side lever b21 was really accurate. I remember I got lucky and found one at a dicks sporting goods and couldn’t believe it. At that same time my step dad bought the actual Dana side lever and mine was more accurate but...

    Gamo CAT Adjustable Trigger Mod

    I’d have to take mine apart again. Installing the GRT is such a significant difference though. It’ll blow your mind how much it changes the feel. If you’re dead set on polishing the current one either post a pic of yours and I can describe it or I’ll have one apart in a couple months I can send...

    Gamo Swarm CAT trigger replacement

    Yes the GRT has two versions. I’ve replaced the old metal triggers and new plastic ones. It’s a world better then any at home trigger mod by a massive margin. I have videos of trigger internals if needed. I also polish sear contacts with the GRT replacement. Also ... my target gamo shoots...

    Tuning Spring for Gamo Silent Cat Whisper

    Yes. Just buy an E3650 from ARH. You’ll need to sand the edges straight. Also maybe ask for him to set the spring or have a spring compressor and some strength ready. Best springs out there too according to consensus.

    Tuning Replacement spring (hi power) Gamo Varmint 1250.

    I’d go to ARH and get the E3650 spring and Tesla seal. Cheap and works great. Best quality option really.

    Tuning lubeing a under leaver

    Depends on what you have inside your gun and what gun it is. What model are you using? Generally I use the moly you have for all metal on metal like my trigger sears once polished and the cocking arm, etc. I do use silicone oil but VERY lightly and only forward of the piston seal. I used to...

    Why is it? In the classified.

    As already mentioned it’s money and I’d add culture. I’ve been an avid airgunner for at least 20 years and lives on the old yellow during the peak years. I’ve been what many would consider rich AND poor depending on the chapter of my life. Airgunners are undoubtedly snobbish in their own right...

    Tuning Gamo Big Cat accuracy

    Everyone seems to like those hollow points but they have never gave me good groups with my gamos. JSB Exacts however or HN FTTs are always good. My personal rule of thumb is if it doesn’t shoot decent with those then it’s going to be a money pit making it shoot right. I also polish sear contacts...

    Tuning Gamo Big Cat accuracy

    As an avid Gamo shooter (multiple models and years), I’d say have him get JSB Exacts and start the relationship with the gun over. It won’t get much better then JSB Exacts or HN FTTs. Not saying it can’t get better but those will shoot. I can easily shoot a shotgun pattern at 20 with cheap...

    Tuning Cocking shoe pro tip

    i actually don’t know how long it will last but I finally found a perfect cocking arm shoe replacement. I tried all sorts of things to replace damaged and lost ones. Then I had an idea to use these beads designed to fill cavities. I’ve only had it in for a week but so far it’s holding up very...

    Tuning Putting a spring into the gamo magnum igt mach 1

    Yes you can. With ARH you have a couple options. I’d buy a new piston seal anyway as they’re usually messed up from the factory. You can message me if you have questions. I think that gamo would be nice with a softer spring a little tlc and a GRT trigger.

    Tuning wanting to upgrade my 2240

    People will argue with me on this but a steel breech, Long one, should be the first priority. You can get one of those fancy multi shot ones if that’s the direction you want. I chose a standard long. Steel breech. With a 18 inch barrel I was shooting at 550fps. I had crazy good accuracy with JSB...

    Flash rom the past

    Those are fun. I had an old daisy pumper growing up. I’d certainly at least use Crosman pellets. I have never gone those gamo hunters to shoot decent out of anything.
