My re-introduction to airguns has been quite an education! Grew up with a Benjamin pump, now 30 years later I found a Crosman pumpmaster (actually a Western Auto Revelation) at an auction. Recently began looking for pest control for work - food processor- and decided on a refurbished Blackhawk for outdoors and a B12 from MM for indoors.The Blackhawk amazes me with its accuracy and trigger! The B12 is beginning to group very well (for me) after about 300 pellets. I figure I'll try a scope after 1000 shots on each. I'm looking for any information on B12 tuning. MM suggested I make a delrin tophat and spring guide, but I'm not sure what diameter delrin to get for the machinist. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for making this forum so addictive!

I have no clue what size delrin but welcome to the forum
I sure know what you mean about the B25, blackhawk trigger, MM set one i've got and it's the best trigger i've ever used, along with an Mrod anyway. Amazing triggers. Glad you've had your reintroduction to adult airguns, look forward to your posts. J

Hi, Rob. Nice to meet you
I've got a B25 ( = blackhawk )and a B12, both from Mike, and they are sweet!
Are yours .22's or .177's, or a mix of both?

For the rear guide a round piece of 1 1/16 is what you need, turn it down for the TH....

Welcome Rob
The 12 I got from Mike has had a few basic tweaks:
The "Euro" 12 is almost the same rifle, used a Diana springuide (tweaked for a good fit) and a spring from my bits box to match the spring guide:
Happy tweaking
