    Paul Watts contact info???

    Just wanted to make an update to my OP. Talked to Paul this afternoon. He's been sick since December and hasn't been able to do much in the shop. He said the R7 was still shooting slower than he liked, and was trying to find the problem and correct it but hasn't been able to do much because of...

    Paul Watts contact info???

    Well that bites. I talked to him sometime in November of last year. That's when he said he would send my airgun back. When I first called him about the R7 problems I was only looking for advice since he did the full tune on it. I told him, since he seemed to be getting out of the airgun tuning...

    Paul Watts contact info???

    I had an older R7 that Paul had done a full tune on about 17 years ago. A couple years ago it was shooting in the low 400's and I called Paul and asked his advice. He told me to send it back along with $75 and he would put a new seal in. I was going to give him another call today and I noticed...

    New to me Diana 54

    Johnny, I never asked John how he achieved the 12-13 ft/lbs. I've only dove into a couple easy to tune guns so I'm not much of a air gun tuner. I just assumed it was something similar to what I put in my TX200 (V-Mach kit). Based on Johns reputation as one of the top airgunsmiths, I was just...

    New to me Diana 54

    I'm not usually lucky. I could buy 99 out of 100 lottery tickets and I still wouldn't win, but yesterday I felt like I got lucky. Thanks to a member on this forum who noticed when I posted about my desire to own a detuned Diana 54 and pointed me in the right direction I was able to make the...

    A rifle that you can pick up shoot at will...

    Beautiful rifle! Out of all the laminate stocks, that one is my favorite. Wish they would offer it more often.

    Tuning Might be time for a kit or a sale

    Not trying to be rude, but that teaches him what exactly? That maybe the next thing of yours that he desires, to abuse it and maybe he'll get that too? Teach him some boundaries. IMHO opinion I would make him pay for a pro tuner to repair it and then when you get it back, shoot it, decide then...

    Tuning FWB 300S bolt dropped out

    Thanks. Put a lock washer on it and it seems to be doing the trick. Snugs up tight but bolt doesn't stop the action from sliding.

    Tuning FWB 300S bolt dropped out

    Thanks Lucky, probably would have helped if I posted a photo of the bolt as I dont see it in the schematic. The gun. The bolt is in the middle of the rail.

    Tuning FWB 300S bolt dropped out

    While bench shooting my FW300S the other day I notice a bolt laying on the table just under the gun. On closer inspection, I could see that it was the middle bolt in the rail under the forestock. I didn't see any washer or spacer, just the bolt. So I screwed the bolt back in (it went in pretty...

    Over the moon with this one! Hint: 🏃 🐗

    WOW! That is a beautiful rifle. What a great score. You're going to have many enjoyable shooting sessions with that one. I love shooting my 300S. Its one of my favorite rifles and one that I'll never sell. It's a shame they don't produce these fine guns anymore. Could you share who did the...

    HW50S .177cal Vortek HO tune review

    Thanks for posting this. I bought the 50 about a month ago and have been happy with the accuracy and shot cycle. I've put a tin of pellets through it and was hoping the spring twang would diminish, but it hasn't. I've decided to get the Vortek kit to get rid of the twang. It's been a long time...

    D430 needs to try ten dimes...

    Funny you mention that. I'm smoking ribs on Thursday and plan on trying the ten dimes challenge while keeping an eye on the smoker. I'll be lucky if I make half the shots, but cant think of a better way to spend the afternoon.... smoking ribs and shooting airguns.

    Well I sent a message

    Sorry for your loss. I know the pain. I had to say goodbye to my best friend of 13 years, about a month ago. Still think about him everyday. Dogs are truly mans best friend.

    Sidelever Fever

    My 2 side levers are a FWB 300S and a Walther LGR SSP. I've come to like shooting the side levers so much that I'm seriously considering getting a 54 Airking Pro .177. I'd have to get it de-tuned since I mostly shoot in my back yard 10-30 yds. The 54 AK would probably be overkill and I need...
