Update: I disassembled the block completely, everything except the safety toggle arm. None of the aluminum parts or the block had any corrosion, and the steel parts had no rust except a slight amount on the hammer spring guide in the area enclosed by the aluminum cap, but it is a non moving...

Thanks all who have advised. I will try out those methods. If they do not work I will try a trigger block teardown. I am a pretty good with tools, have worked on springers for decades, and am curious to see if the internals are rusted, so would not mind taking the trigger block apart, even...

I bought this gun for experimentation with the arrow barrel, and then stored it in the safe for 3 years, and recently decided to sell it. (I needed 10 posts to be able to use the classified, and wrote some things about my 54 year involvement with air guns that is posted in the general...

Thanks Keahi and Puma Carl for your kind words, much appreciated. Well, some good news. r1lover sent me an idea about how to approach the locked safe. Just walk up to it without thinking and just twist the dial and muscle memory takes over, and voila: it opened. The combination is 59...

Thank you for understanding r1lover, much appreciated

Hello shoppers: I bought the independence out of curiosity, so it has hardly been used. I was doing R&D at the time for a concept I had for a compound bow. I have been into airguns and archery since I was in the 8th grade, and was always more interested in how they worked than in shooting...

Post Script: Went to the gun safe in my shop thinking I was going to get out the FX Independence I wanted to sell, take pictures etc and post in the classified, and could not remember the combination!!!! And I could not find the card that had the combo on it that I always had hidden in the...

Thank you to all of you that said nice things about my writing, you were all so polite, not wanting to hurt my feelings by yelling: YOU BLOCKHEAD, STOP STARTING A NEW TOPIC WITH THE SAME OLD TOPIC, JUST KEEP GOING IN THE REPLY BOX!!!!!!! See you down yonder, Ballistics

Hi all, I feel like such and idiot, but then, that is often the case these days. I do not feel old just sitting here tapping the keyboard, but when I get up I do. And when I look in the mirror. Anyway, I was confusing creating a new topic with a post, and so created 8 new topics instead of...

I am sending this as an experiment, trying to figure out how things work, I am not experienced with forums.

How I ended the last installment was a bit misleading, I was asleep at the time, I saw the paw prints on the front porch in the morning There was a light snow, there were imprints of some huge paws. He could have broken in that door without much trouble, and I would have made a nice snack...

Yellowstone: In 1977 my younger brother flew out to Maine where I was finishing up my my Junior year, and we road Greyhound back to California via Montreal and points west, ending up in Livingston Montana. Not sure how we got down to Yellowstone park, but somehow we made it, and backpacked...

A couple of years later I stopped by again to visit, and when Robert heard I had bought an FWB300 with the Tyrollean stock while in Hawaii, (I was on a job there for a long while, someone had opened up an air rifle shooting range and was selling air guns also) he wanted to see the serial...

Hi all, I am about out of gas, so am going to shorten things up so as to get to my 10 posts. First thought, Is there an 80 word limit? I have not been automatically cut off, is that supposed to be just a suggestion? Anyway, I left off telling you of the .177 cal holes I put into the...

Klaus wanted to know how to buy another German made air rifle, (he used them as a boy growing up in Germany). Recently I had bought a FWB 124, so was back in the air rifle world, and Air Rifle Headquarters had just sent me a letter explaining their newly introduced owners network, and that...

r1Lover: yes! that was it, a Wishco 55N. !!

I see a couple of replies to part 1 already, and they voiced encouragement for me to continue on, though I am tiring rapidly and do not think I can go 10 rounds today! Thanks for the support! I did not bother to site the W35E in, but since Robert Law tested them before shipping, it must...

I started off my air gunning career with a Crossman pump pneumatic, and then a Crossman Co2. Then my best buddy Drew showed me an ad in the back of Field and Stream from a place called Air Rifle Headquarters. We sent for a catalogue, and what was in that small and not to thick catalogue...

This is my first post, spurred on at first because of the 10 post requirement to sell one my rifles, and then when I thought about what I could write about, I came to the realization that I may have some personal history that others would be interested in. With an 80 word limit, I will go...
