    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...

    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...

    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 Gamo CFR build / tune

    I decided to make some videos here... clearly I have spend zero effort at production as I’m not trying to do anything but contribute my hobby. I’ve spent even less effort on editing. The is a video of me doing some touch up work to the glass bedding of my CFR. I was planning on drilling out...

    Gamo ACCU 177

    Had to pick another one up since I got rid of my last one. New in box on eBay for 127.50 and 20 shipping. There’s still one left. Should be here any day. I’ll probably be posting a video or shot groups of it in stock form on this thread soon as I get it. It’ll be good to finally prove that the...

    Accuracy and Cost

    It seems to me that make and model solely determine price of used guns. A few big named tuners can bring in some extra dollars, we know that. However, it’s always puzzled me that if we know that a specific airgun has variation and some are highly accurate and some simply wont shoot like the...

    Airgun “reviews”

    I sometimes search through various airgun videos on YouTube in the mornings. Saw some particularly shameless misleading this morning. Has anyone else noticed that airgun reviews have entirely become airgun commercials? About as accurate as box specs.

    .25 10 shots at 34 - Gamo (on video)

    While out showing the wife’s sister around we decided to go to the mountains so they could do some hiking. Sooo I did some shooting from the back of the Jeep just for GP. 4 shots are under 1/4 inch and the other opens it to a tad above .25. I know if I sort pellets and even apply a light lube...

    Gamo varmint / CFR outing

    I decided on a gamo Varmint Hunter for another project. So far I’ve barely done anything to it besides the basics. I tightened the spring guide up, installed my flavor of piston sleeve, polished various internals, and that’s about it besides a good cleaning and proper lube. I’m excited to see if...

    Spring gun work shop

    what equipment would be in the dream spring gun tuners workshop? I’m posting in hopes of learning or helping others and sharing information. Off the top of my head I’d say a lathe and mill to make custom parts from spring guides to trigger parts. Various sandpaper. A Dremel. I’ll add more as I...

    Spring wear

    When do you replace a spring? What’s an acceptable amount of damage? I have options and can replace the spring if I choose but will continue to play with things until I make a decision. Just trying to get some knowledgeable people’s advice here. So, one of my new E3650 springs sustained some...

    Today’s shooting.

    I figured I’d post my ugly shot groups too. For some reason I haven’t gotten the gun to shoot right yet since I installed the new scope and tighter spring guide. I’ll be ordering more pellets here soon. All 3 shot groups are between .687 and .937 at exactly 27 measured yards. I have 2 5 shot...

    Pistons

    Looking to be talked into or out of ordering and having several pistons. I don't have a lathe yet but I’ve found several locals who I’ll vett to see who’s the best qualified for the job. They’ve offered to make any custom parts I need. Recommendations?

    FPE range for springer

    What’s the lowest FPE you’d accept from a springer in FT. I’m completely ignorant on the issue. I’m considering eventually getting involved but need to know what my limits should be for tuning.

    Gamo swarm questions.

    Are the swarm systems interchangeable model to model OR gen1 to Gen 2? If someone has a whisper fusion could they simply install the swarm system since gamo makes a fusion with and without the swarm? Question 2. If someone had a gamo whatever(all seem exact same to me), say maxxim, and it...

    Finished CFR project

    Almost finished with the CFR project. Just need to finish the bedding and some other touch up work. Made a nice alternative to a custom lathed spring guide as well. Metal even.

    Embarrassing elevation question

    I tried out my new Vector scope yesterday and am quite pleased. I’d fire a shot, adjust up and fire, repeated with excellent and consistent results but took forever. Now I’m maxed out and at my 10 yard target I’m still shooting about an inch low. Gun in Gamo CFR, scope is 30mm with 50mm...

    Anyone want to post some groups of their gamos? Good bad or ugly. I’ll post mine in the morning, had this thought a little late.

    Cocking arm clip

    well.... I had a fantastic clip that I put on the front most divot in the cocking arm. Worked amazing and made it far smoother then the OEM. In my infinite wisdom I moved it to the rear slot since I knew that would make it even more smooth! Now that my OEM clip is lost and my new one is...
