Two words, duct tape! -Marty

I always wondered if there might be some airguners in Wayland! That said, since you are in Framingham you are not too far from the guys in Marlboro. They often come to the meets at Woburn and they even post a handy calendar of all the matches that are taking place in other nearby clubs...

You should meet up with the guys at Palmer, about an hour south of Greenfield. They have a Field Target course now. https://nenameseck.com/ -Marty

Got my answer, thanks to Leo. Match is on. See all who can make it there at 9am. -Marty

Try soft bedding before going glass bedding. -Marty

Is there a match scheduled for tomorrow at the MRA in Woburn, MA? Thanks, Marty

There might be a shooting meet in Woburn tomorrow. Check the Field Target thread. It’s usually the last Saturday of the month at the Mass Rifle Association. -Marty

Prices are not going to come down much, if at all in the near future. Some reasons: 1. Over a trillion dollars in additional money was printed during COVId. More money is chasing fewer or the same amount of goods. 2. Taxes keep going up, which will be passed on to consumers like they always are...

Yea, I see where you’re coming from. Maybe the better option is to have a “DIY Manufacturing” parent thread with sub-threads for lathes, 3D printing and CNC. That said, I think that in terms of software and complexity the two disciplines are converging. The Chinese lathe I got a few years ago...

Given the rise of 3D printing this thread/sub-forum may need to incorporate 3D printing posts too… -Marty

There was nothing wrong with the original logo. Neither Mercedes, BMW or Audi are changing theirs… why is Air Arms? -Marty

FreeCAD is great if you don’t want to be locked into a proprietary system and don’t mind a less polished look. Always getting better too. -Marty

Yes, I did get a bit ahead of myself and forget what the title of the thread was. That said, I think you extrapolate too much about my thinking. I agree that businesses usually cater to profit margins and to the largest addressable market. That said, there is room for niche products at...

I agree with that statement. However, there is always room for a niche, reason people love the FWB300s and D56s. -Marty

Indeed, I think the combination of the stroke length adjustment and preload fine tuning should allow fine enough adjustments to eliminate potential slamming or bounce, in theory! But there is more! I've also come up with a way to vary the piston mass externally without tools. However, it gets a...

Ok, so I put this quick CAD model together. Excuse the elementary modeling (I'm a newbie). The inner rod that begins on the left side of the image would rotate inside the outer cylinder, thus allowing skirt rotation via rotating a hex key in the receiving hole on the opposite end. The spring...

subscriber, a well thought out approach as usual! I've been pondering similar designs over the last 3-years: one using a rotatable piston skirt, such as yours, as well as multi-latch sears, similar to how a bear-trap works. That said, I like the rotatable skirt better and recently I've been...
