"BigTinBoat"

"RAMJET66"I removed the stock yesterday, to straighten the cocking lever, which is only a very temporary fix , it is very thin , I hope the new ones when they get here, are improved .. anyway I decided to turn the H/S tension down, as it is shootin close to 900 w Jsb 18 .34's so I marked it with a sharpie, & backed it out 2 full turns, & the stock would not go back on with the mounting holes, ( with the H/s tensioner backed out , it was hitting the the wood )so I got a dremel & started removing the wood for the back screw hole to line up, but there is not a lot that can be removed, as it is close to the brass thread , so I ended up turning the H/S back in a 1/2 turn to even get the stock back on , so it l;ooks like I am stuck with the H/S setting that still uses way too much air, but I still like the gun , will like it even better if & when I receive the New cocking lever..

you should be able to just take a coil off the spring and turn the adjuster back in a bit.....duh I never thought of that, thanks BigTin , but I think I would rather find another spring to try instead of experimenting on the stock one..

"jarmstrong"the vent hole modification is working-put another 500 rounds through it and mag advance system is still working
this is the longest my rifle has worked since I received it. Happy,Happy,Happy
mine is the 22 cal 40 joule compact reg is set to 115 bar and I shorten the hammer spring about 1/4"
shoots 16grain AA 765 fps 60 shots per fill. Could go faster but I wanted it tuned down . great accuracy
.............Jarmstrong, sounds like you are where you want to be, I would like to get mine to shoot around 800 -820, = use less air, mine is accurate, just uses too much air, & bends the cocking arm...

 

[shutik]

Roger,

Did you test what speed it shoots after you backed out the spring?

 

[jarmstrong]

I can turn the reg up a little and easily get 800-820 fps

I strongly suggest that you get the vent hole drilled to prevent bending the cocking arm(the magazine advance lever)

"shutik"Roger,
Did you test what speed it shoots after you backed out the spring?.....No Shutik, sorry ,but my combro quit working, I am going to get some new batts to see if that is the problem, I t seems like it is still hot , don't think it helped much, I would be ok with 40 shots , I am only getting 30 now..

[RAMJET66]

does anyone have a working email for the Zbroia Kozak company ? I looked them up , but , couldn't get the email to connect, I want to try to contact them for a Index Lever ( cocking lever ), I would really like to get my Zbroia working again , it has been down for over 2 weeks now, thanks , roger

I used the [email protected] e-mail and I attached a photo of the broken part
​Andrey is the man who handled all my requests
​takes close to 2 weeks for parts to get to me
you might request another hammer spring that you could modify

I've used the same email to communicate with Andy. Just be aware of 7 hours time difference between EST time.

TalonTunes is also importing them but he is out at the moment. He’s hoping to have some in in a couple of weeks.

[shutik]

Roger, 

I did not get it working. I've realuzed it is quite enough for me.

I would try to order replacement baffles from disyributor with threads for external moderator if I needed to make it more quiet.

 

[jarmstrong]

I wonder how many orders for a baffle set with a threaded outboard end it would take to get Donny to make them?
I would take one

 

[airgunmonkey]

I am busy making a complete new shroud and a silencer for my, it should all be done in a couple of weeks, as soon as I get all done I will post pics and all messurements here for those that might be interested in duplicate.

 

[shutik]

I just found out that Joe Brancato will be official importer and dealer for Zbroia company. 

He will have parts as well.

I was trying to get 450 mm barrel ordered for my Kozak, as well as updated buffles with thread for external moderator. Joe took time to understand exactly what I need and gave me price right away.

He is discusding Zbroia on Facebook (PCP airguns and accessories) group.

[shutik]

Roger, so far I've asked about longer barrel with longer shroud and replacement moderator monocore with 1/2 inch thread for external moderator.

Price for 450mm 177 barrel is $119.

I've decided to not get longer tube yet.
