Crosman-Benjamin Air Gun Gate / Re: Another Legacy ? For owners« Last post by Hoosier Daddy on Today at 07:40:38 PM »There is no way that I would buy it and not shoot it. I would shoot it as soon as I received it. I have a few "mint" vintage airguns.. they all get shot to keep them in functional shape! Even my pristine pre-war PB's get a work out every so often. 2

Crosman-Benjamin Air Gun Gate / Re: Crosman Icon Official Recall« Last post by NorCal David on Today at 07:23:34 PM »Why not? Mine was Inexpensive, made in USA, easy to work on, shoots well, fun gun. Not everyone wants to shoot fruit flies at 200 yards for $10,000. I am no expert, but I like my Crosman better than the inexpensive Chinese and Gamo that I have. As a beginner, I can make mistakes and break these things without breaking the bank.... and learn as I go. Later I hope to know enough to appreciate a better and pricier AG. And know how to tune it. To each his own.

I was scared to death of PCP….now I have 8….call crosman and get a RMA ,send that gun back for a new one…their CS is first rate….these are great little guns and u deserve an opportunity to get to shoot…work on it later if need be…lol and if your gonna venture into PCP think about a compressor….good luck 6
Back Room / Re: So if you didn't do anything airgun related what did you do today?« Last post by brewbear on Today at 06:49:04 PM »Brew, all I can say is you are d@mn lucky son. In my 30 years with the state I have seen my fair share of ladders and chainsaw accidents after hurricanes, not pretty. Be patient and let the therapists help you get through it. I wish you a full recovery and back to shooting your guns and enjoying life. Thank you Kris. To say I was d@mn lucky is pretty much true, my family is wondering how many lives i have left after all the bone headed stunts i pulled in the past years. The day after I woked up from my last surgery I was told I will be hospitalized for at least six weeks. That was March 26th. I promised my wife I'll be home by the end of April and she just looked at me. She brought me home on April 20th - promise kept 7

Daisy Gate / Re: Daisy 35 Reseal....1st Ever« Last post by caudie on Today at 06:41:54 PM »Well, I've learned a lot about oil wipers since I last posted. I thought I was settled about the wiper thing since Ronno6 last posted but my mind wouldn't let it go. Why was all the info I could find say that these seal kits from Daisy Models 880, 35 etc .....are for both? Daisy - part #'s the same for both. Multiple sellers on Amazon - same same. Sellers on EBay - same same. Even a seller on Amazon listing a single wiper saying 880 & 35. Has nobody on the Net ever changed a oil wiper on a 35 and reported it. So I figured the only way I was going to get over this was try it myself. Ordered some seal kits and a few other parts I wanted to have on hand. Put the order in on 22 April 2024 and received it on 26 April 2024.
With my little envelope of treasures I headed down stairs to my tinkering/airgun/range - grabed a 880 off the rack + a screw driver and pulled the piston. I thought I might as well make it as easy as possible and if the OEM wiper wouldn't stretch over the head of the piston it'd be settled once and for all. Well the first shock came when I pulled a new wiper out of a seal kit. LOOK AT THAT TINY LITTLE HOLE IN THAT THING. Grabbed my dial calipers and measured it - .338. Now I know I couldn't make it bigger by measuring it but I kept trying for a while. That passed and I picked it up and tried it anyway. First try I got it over head just in front of the o-ring. Then picking, stretching and sliding I got that little bugger onto the bumper and then into the grove without any damage. Well now I HAD to try it on the 35. I was assuming the piston head's where the same size - which they were. I've never opened up a 35 but using the video posted it came apart even a little easier than I thought it would. Pulled the wiper off - EZPZ - just like the video. Stretched the new wiper on - looked easier in the video but it went on and into the grove pretty easy. But it stuck up a little bit and made me think this might not work so good if it catches the rim going into the compression tube like not work at all. The compression tube was right there so might as well try it. Lined it up and was trying to be easy getting the o-ring in when it popped in all the way past the wiper. Pulled it out and in a few times and desided to leave it on the piston and reassemble the rifle. Everything went good and it WORKED - the gun I mean. Well I guess it will work - but I want to use it a while and see what happens. Oiled it up and shot it a few times. Flipped it over in my lap and looked at that wiper. Settled in just fine. I guess maybe Daisy, Amazon and EBay are right. Anyway if I needed to replace a wiper in a 880 or 35 again I'd do it the same way. It was a little easier than I wrote it up to be but doing it again would be way easier. 10
Air Gun Gate / Re: So what did you Order / Receive today ? (to feed the "Beast" that lives within)« Last post by maraudinglizard on Today at 06:41:46 PM »Order from Hatsan, took advantage of the H&N 20% ammo sale. Ordered slugs for the .30 Hercules, .25 Origin, and the .25 Marauder. I have bigger pest roaming the property and need something with a little more punch than a .22 can give.
HN20 is the code. |
