What did you do airgun related today.

Jump to latest Follow Reply
I was wiping down the Mrod this morning and found one minor scratch that had me strolling down memory lane. I brought the gun to my uncle's house a few states away. I remember letting him shoot it from his basement, out the sliding glass door. As he drew the gun on target, he braced it against the aluminum frame of the door and slowly scrrrraaaappped the air tube back until he was comfortable. I remember cringing just a little... God bless that man! I sure do miss him!

I own a USFT # 233, bought it with a known air leak (very slow ) . Pumped it full and shot 60 pellets (down to reg ) and left it over night PSI fell over night to 1/2 full , very slow leak , could not find it . Took 4 days to completely empty , zero PSI . I can live with that .
Present day : filled the gun to 1800 PSI (stamped on the receiver ) shot around 20 pellets then put in the work stand , but with a piece of tubing under the hammer lifting the hammer off the stem it was resting on . BINGO today no leak , heavy hammer ? i will give it a few days and check again .

If that scope has that far of eye relief maybe its a pistol scope?

I fint get why a rifle rifle scope need to be put that far forward i guess normally rifle scop s eye relief is about 4"+/-.

My bad ... I see long eye relief scopes at up to 12"". Thats putting one out there on the muzzle i guess ..lol

What brand /model/power scope is needing to mount so far forward .?

It's a Spina Optics
6 x 36 x 56 30 MM Tube. I could not figure out why it was so cloudy , but then realized too close. It's working ok now. I still like my Westlake IR 6 x 24 x 50 a $60 scope better I got 2 for $120. The Spina does remain focused good but it's glass etched reticle not FFP. My other Spins 5 x 30 x 56 is a IR FFP , and it's superior to the other one.

Just type in Adjustable scope rings in the search bar. OV

The first one you posted with link is closest. It has the same reticle with the circular center.
It said Iron claw , but was a glass etched with no IR.

Started on my project to convert a bench press bench into a rh/lh shooting bench from what I just have laying around.
Something to keep me busy for the next couple days. It will likely go through many design changes as usual before it's done.

Cocked the ol'r9 and ot sounded a bit off and sound d a bit off shooting with lower groupd about a inch .. still good tight but that low .. so decided to field strip quick to check and sure enough another broken spring. I got 16 months on this one of steady everyday shooting 👍.

So its out with the old and in with the new ...

Still a guy could fix up thr broken end and shoot uk powerd . Did not affect groupings just low uk type power os all . Maybe shimm up and get good full back ? 🥴 ( Im cheap enough to do it )
