My favorite compressor was one on youtube way back he used his scissor jack from his car .. . Now not to laugh at him but i used bottle jacks ( car crank screw kind ) and made a quick needed it now bench press. That rail mount compressor i see for underlevrr guns but break barrel anything can do in a pinch as long as somthing dont slip and shoot parts across the room ..

Can’t believe how much cheaper products are in the US. I couldn’t buy the clamp up here for that assembly. Crow

I took my 80 down to my shop and that’s as far as I got. The temp. hovering around freezing I had to walk through 8 inches of slop. Be the same deal tomorrow, if it freezes I’m in trouble. What a drag. Crow

I went to go go shooting and I remembered this project. I went down and made from scrap, minus the clamp. 1/2 an hour to make. Nothing to brag about, but it’s going to work better than what I had. I would of rather had 4-5 tins of lead instead of the press.
I notched 1 x 2 x 12 inches to seat the bar in.
Attached it to a 2 foot piece of 2 x 3 to allow the clamp to travel, attached 2 metal straps stretching them by forcing the screws to pull. 
The one end has rubber. On clamp end I removed rubber and put felt for under your furniture.
A little tape around the plates and screws. Done
I’m going to look for something I can attach to where the felt is a small disc that spins. Crow
Sorry about the mess

Took out the Tank the 54 Pro .22, HW85 .177 and FWB Sport. 
The Tank is amazing, the consistenty at 45 yds. and the power it delivers is mind boggling.
This is my range buried in snow.

I used the press last nite and it worked like a charm. The spring set I got is a plus with extension on end of spring.
It was after 11pm when I got at it, so I’ll put it together tonite. Crow

Got it back together, had to squeeze the hell out of it but it worked. 
Going to get a piece of hardwood 3/8 x 2 inches by 12 inches for a lever. Couldn’t line up the cylinders tonite would set off the alarm. Crow

Awww Crow! Didn't I tell you earlier in the thread to make sure that you put the barrel on before putting the cylinder back together? The pivot bolt will now be under spring tension from the mainspring and or detent. You're going to have a very difficult time getting the pivot bolt aligned and started without damaging the shims, bolt and receiver threads. IMO your better off removing the mainspring then installing the barrel and then reinstalling the mainspring.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
PM me for my phone number if you'd like further verbal assistance.
Have a Merry Christmas

Thanks. Story of my life. I need the practice. Couldn’t start with a 30 to get familiar, no let’s do a 80+. Crow

Hmmmm.. dont guess ive had issue with that .... yet. Lines up pretty dead on use a lineup pin to center the shims then the pivot bolt should go in. Also remove the breach seal will help relax pressure between the reciver and block if it wants to be a tad off.. that's my stuff but another maybe different to do .
Youll figure it out ..lol
I’ve used the Air Venturi and I have to say that Contraption I made gives you much better control when screwing it back on. Crow

Crow I use a sash clamp when working on my rifles. No manufacturing all I do is clamp it in the vice and use a cloth to stop it from scratching the metal. I sometimes use a piece of pine on both ends. EZY peezy. Much better then those quick grip Irwin clamps that bend when pressured.
