I know your saying how does it stay there and honestly I don't know its never come off. Coned the exhaust valve and base of the piercing...

    Quest for reasonabley priced .177 easy shooter that is somewhat accurate

    How About a CO2 powered gun like the QB 78 http://www.archerairguns.com/QB78-Chinese-Air-Rifle-p/qb78.htm $99.99 they're being sold under the beeman name now. Its a nice rifle out of the box but of course no cold weather performance.(below zero) Archer has a lot of custom addons like repeater...

    Energy needed for a reliable kill on small-med. game?

    I was thinking along the same lines didn't want to setup the chronograph wanted a method to ensure good speed I would set up a Sears Christmas 500 page catalog with a good metal back stop, just in case, at about 12 to 15 feet indoors and shot it I noticed every gun that was over 600 fps would go...

    Pellet expansion not what I had hoped for

    Yeah never underestimate a good flat or match pellet back when I first got my 1322 I only had crosman super pellets (not to be confused with super match) that's all I used because that's what was available. You know the ones they have a dish when you look at em. Walked into the bush spotted a...

    Bulk fill..

    Hello welcome to the the wonderful world of airguns Here is the long answer to your question PCP & HPA are close to the same thing. PCP "Pre-Charged Pneumatic". PCP guns use Unregulated air. The only regulation of pressure being the valve and hammer. HPA "High Pressure Air". HPA air sources are...

    Can spring piston air rifles simulate the recoil of a firearm?

    Outdoorman when i say "when you pull the trigger it jumps in your hands forwards then backwards to your shoulder when the piston ends it’s movement". the "then" means at the same time not a separate event without forward motion there can be NO Recoil OK we are saying the same thing i dint get...

    Can spring piston air rifles simulate the recoil of a firearm?

    No I have it right initial recoil from the release of the spring is forward. From off the sear it drives forward. look at 1:31sec on this video and you'll see it drives forward if it did what you say it would be going down then up but not so.

    I must be doing something wrong

    While I don't have a Hammerli 850 my QB 78 does the same dual co2 arrangement which always works flawlessly for me with the only problem being the oring in the end cap getting cut . I did find this German video showing the adapter being set up for use. It's in German so i hope it helps

    Can spring piston air rifles simulate the recoil of a firearm?

    No Spring power rifles have what's called a double reverse recoil which means when you pull the trigger it jumps in your hands forwads then backwards to your shoulder when the piston ends it's movement. Gas rams are similar but the nitrogen acts as a cushion and makes it less but still there...

    What you might like is maybe a QB78 deluxe its co2 but still very nice and not to much of a hit on the pocket book however co2 doesn't like the cold so if you in the cold climate its not going to preform as good as it should check out archer air gun since your taking Chinese air guns they have a...

    benjamin discovery repair

    I had it happen before with mine sometimes you have to cock it before you fill (I know the manual says...) the weight of the hammer holds the valve open if you already doing this it possibly something else holding the valve open IE foreign contaminant or a broken/collapsed valve spring?. I would...

    Umarex has a nice line of real type air pistols I hear their c96 type is a sweet one with full auto but most all are bb and few blowback if you want a low price then go with Umarex my walther cp99 is a nice paper puncher and that's it. If I was buy another air pistol I would save my penny's and...

    Crosman 2240,2250 and 2260 barrels interchangeable?

    Don't mean to bash your 2240 build but a high powered 12gram co2 is just not going to work out. As per what you said your probably around the 600fps mark might get more with a 14inch barrel and a lighter valve spring. It might, BARK, make some noise and you would have to back off the adjuster or...
