WOW!, good to know about the leading.... Yeah, McMaster Carr won't even sell to Canada....Bob

The lead build up happens on rifle lands so it seems I caused excessive leading by shooting those few heavy bullets through.
WOW! ! 10 pages later here I am?Great Sunday coffee reading. HATS OFF to the project.Just now entering the big bore? Much more to learn.Enjoyed the reading and work!!FANGJUNKYARD AIRGUN'S
If you are still looking for springs you could try making your own, a lathe is the easiest way, but a drill press works too, just need a proper sized rod with a small hole in it to feed the wire trough, a little practice, and some spring wire. The wire is pretty easy to find and cheap, either spring or music wire can be used. I do use mcmaster tho lol.Great build by the way. Enjoyed all of it.
rkr, which barrel are you using now? It seems your goal of sub 2" @ 100 is very obtainable.Tom
"dang" these Evanixes, I've been shooting at 200+ fpe level for a while now and the sidelever started popping open again. Further inspection showed that the screw connecting the lever to the linkage that operates the probe had lost it's threads and became loose I replaced it with a new screw that has M4 threads instead of the M3 and changed the lever geometry slightly to fix that. It seems that eventually I'll have to rebuild the whole gun at this power level.

It pops open when I shoot and I wasnt sure if that was because I warped it at high power or if it was something else. I still have a Sniper lever on order with Pyramyd. Its a bit trashy looking, but a rubber band over the breech is a workable temporary solution to keep the lever in place. So far its working for me.
