Here are the results, 10-15 MPH swirling crosswind, you can see how I walked the shots over to the target and got a decent group for me @50 yards once "zeroed in" @50

Had my wife (mechanical engineer) design this for me and did the final fit and finish after printing. Completely changes the feel of the 362. Fits like an adult rifle now. Wrapped in marine corps camo. Increases my length of pull from 13 inches to 14 inches. The 362 always felt a bit off for me and it shoulders so well now that i don't want to put it down.

Made this little lead stack with my Prod at 23 yards 
. Planned on shooting a whole mag into some duct seal. Stack blew out the back on shot 4 or 5(looks like 4).

Swapped medium rings for tall on the EQ. Tall is much mo better.
Slapped both the Mrod and the EQ with the patchworm. Gotta find some soda straws. Getting that weed-whacker line out the muzzle without it was no fun. Had to pull the shroud on both...but no problem, really.
Another day another squirrel.
Scheduled Tue morning for some range time. I need it!

Chasing Leaks: The Leakening. This time it was from the regulator gauge. The Rainson doesn't have a pressure relief valve; you can unscrew the bottle then let the air out of the regulator through the regulator gauge. Seems like a pretty jakey way to do this, but maybe I was spoiled on my Avenger. Anyway, there was a 20-bar/day leak that was coming from the regulator gauge. I remembered as I was looking at bubbles that you don't hulk down gauges with delrin seats, you just tighten them hand tight or a smidge tighter.
I did also remember that some other Rainson owners said you do need to tighten bottles a touch more. Keep a strap wrench handy and tighten it a little past hand tight.
The downside to a hiatus is that you forget things, especially at my age. Memory is the second thing to go and all that.

The beginning of a single shot loader for the EQ...
1ea. piece of Hickory, sized to slip in the loading slot.
I'll probably drill the two holes (hammer xfer bar, bolt) and then start on mortising for a swing out arm. Fun in the woodshop!

Block gots holes! It fits a shade too tight & the holes need to be a few thou bigger but the rifle cocks and the hammer drops...so the hole placement is good enough.
Tomorrow, I'll start on a swing out loading block.

Today I put a scope on my wife's "little pinky" that's the name of her pink 760 pump master. I also finally found the sweet pellet for the Hatsan Air TAC springer it is the H& N field target trophy 8.64 grain moving at an average of 835 fps was getting tiny groups. The target is little pinky's work still looking for the sweet pellets for it these were the 7 grain Apolo pistol competition. On the Hatsan
I found a cavity in the pistol grip , so I put the front fiber optic in there , and covered the muzzle brake with black tape for a more comfortable cocking grip , and it slightly improved the accuracy.

Have a set of Wiha Bit Selectors in my range bag. The bits are nice, but the holders themselves give zero indication as to what's inside. I got sick of trying to remember what color means what, so I bought a label printer and got to work.

I'm a year behind you; 64 next month. My memory ain't what it used to be but... That memory crack is the lead in to a dumb joke that I say whenever I forget something.
A: They say that memory is the second thing to go.
B: What's the first?
A: I don't remember.
Just to stay on-topic, I messed with the Rainson over the past few days. At this point I think I'm done messing with it. When I do find that leak and fix it, if I find it, I'll have a gun that requires modification to adjust the hammer spring, modification to (nontrivially) adjust the trigger, and degassing to adjust the regulator upwards or downwards; that adjustment knob is strictly for show unless you have the guts to go after it with a monkey wrench. I've already got an Avenger that doesn't leak that I can adjust all those things. /rant off
