What did you do airgun related today.

Are you porting anything else?
Eventually I will, Once I get all the parts done and I see what it does before opening it up. I already fordered a ported valve that has opened up to 5mm, i ordered a custom 8.8g tungsten hammer. I will be porting the barrel to 4.7 or 5mm as well as the bridge channel but that's it. I also have a low force peek valve that'll allow me to get the same power at a lower reg setting.

On my coworkers notos with the huben valve I ported the barrel to 4.5mm, bridge to 4.7mm, pressure plate to 4.9mm and I got a max of 900fps with 15.89gr at 1500psi on the reg and a 5g hammer. It may get more power with reg set lower, it may not. But i'm hoping it does with the new valve coming in.
 
First, I reamed the FX Impact fill nipple access hole to 19mm so I could use any 8mm female QD.

Big day for me shooting, I shot a 200 with my 177 revere on the 30 yard challenge target.

This evening i tried out a Milwaukee battery china special work light to see how it works. I have to report in that at low power it illuminates the target great. I am using fixed power Sightron scopes.
My plan now is to try and shoot in the evening a few nights a week. It easier when my 2yo son is in bed.

My job role has changed and I have a rotating schedule. I don’t start till 10 oclock three days a week and I get off at 3 two days a week. It’s my Birthday today and I took the week off so IT can make my computer. I have gone to the range every day since last Friday.
Today I shot 62 shots for my 62 years. I hope to make it an annual tradition and add a shot each year. 57 out of 62 on a fresh course . Nothing closer that 25 yards and the wind picked up mid course. Took an hour. My only problem is concentration. The better the gun shoots the more exciting it is to me and I loose focus.

Retuned* my U2 177 with 18gr take aim slugs to shoot 1002-1014fps.

Last night I took the notos apart and added the 8.8g hammer. Currently getting too much hammer bounce, it quiet literally went from single shot to full auto. Gotta either find a heavy hammer spring or stiffer valve spring.
