Thank you very much for the info! I'm very new to this and don't plan on messing with the valves or hammer tension. I felt it was very important to atleast get the holes deburred on the inside of the receiver. I figured wouldn't hurt to polish up the barrel some, and I'm pretty damn sure what I...

Also, the gun seems to be using much less air now, is that normal with fresh o rings? Pardon my ignorance pls, like I said I'm new to airguns

It's a Benjamin Akela, and I'm very happy with it. For the price, I can understand and find it justifiable for me to debur myself. This target shows before and after groups. Pls keep in mind this gun shot very ery well right out of the box, but I removed the barrel a while back and damaged the o...

My o rings were damaged from last time I took the barrel out. So I had to debur the grub screw holes and transfer port. The grub screw holes I had to do by hand with cratex, and took about a half hour straight polishing. The rest went smooth thankfully, and when I reseated the barrel, the o...

Okay, thanks. I guess I should have sent an email from the beginning 😂

I have a cheap Ruger air hawk elite II. I bought a sightmark reflex sight for my Benjamin Akela, and I'm wondering if I can use it on this springer without damaging it. Also, another rookie question about the bolt hole pattern on the ruger, does anyone know if it's standard? Hoping to buy a rail...

I bought it from Prime, but this is the info from sightmark website. I paid 200 on Amazon, not the $300msrp this is one of the new generation models they have and not the older ones that everyone complained about. I dunno, for the price I'm pretty happy with it so far. Is yours one of the old...

Finally found a clamp on rail that fits the Akela. Also I bought a holographic sight for it 😊 I posted pictures of the scope still mounted because it gives a better view of the replacement rail. I posted pictures of the rifle without the rail so you can see its not a standard rail, it only has...

Thanks folks! I figured the pellets would be okay, but i figured I'd ask

Oh I see, that is your own statement. My apologies

Yes, but my manual states it differently and doesn't mention anything about length.

So the owners manual of my Akela states that certain pellets can hurt my rifle. I'm ignorant on the subject so can someone please elaborate for me? Common sense tells me that pellets too heavy may damage it by blowing out seals and o rings, maybe even damage a valve? I've fired some copper...

We don't do gun drilling at the shop I work at, we send parts out to be gun drilled and there are a couple things I can tell you about it, cause we learned fast. They are NEVER drilled concentric to the outside diameter of the shaft. We learned never to finish outside diameter before they sent...

Well I'm afraid to remove the barrel because if the rail above the grub screws. If I remove that rail, I want it replaced with a clamp on so I don't have to mount it through the grub screw threads. I e been a machinist for most of my life and I am NOT ashamed to admit, on my first Akela one of...

Max power did not group well at all with the H&N 21.14 at 35 yards

I will eventually get with you in this. Can you point me towards any literature or video turorials to give me an idea? I have various lapping compounds here at work. I hone alot of cylinders, but first time with something so small here. 

I think I know what you mean though. I can feel the HN pellets hanging up a bit as I work the bolt

I want to learn more about what I'm doing before I start really "tuning" the rifle

With the power turn down to suit the jsb the H&M didn't shoot very well at long-range like the jsb did. But I never tried the H&N at full power yet. I thought the recoil at full power was the reason to turn it down, but now I'm starting to think, it's cause the pellet prefers a specific speed...

So I maxed the power, clocked 12 of the 21.14gr H&N between 833fps to 849fps and here's a target at 25 yards. Keep in mind I wasn't as steady as I could have been. I'm going to try and test it long range now. If the light outside allows for it anyway
