Pinty's Flashpup
billygee:
Now that Pinty's having air rifle selections,
trying to center on the Flashpup Topic
a lot of Spanish sites out there already, along with US purchasers personal experience
So far Fed-X delivered today, packaging product was well protected from damage.
So, before any shooting, inspection and cleaning of the barrel is my first step,
checking the suppressor baffles for any damage, allen screws for tightness
moving on,
went ahead and made a lead dust filter for it.
started to continue airing it up, but first wanted to see how it was degassed,
now according to the owners manual, degassing is only done by cocking an triggering it til empty.
At this point putting question out there, if anyone has altered or found any other means on degassing ?
my thought was to just unscrew the manometer,
but that has a spring loaded collar making it unaccessible to degas
my thought without any major mod, just remove the air tube unscrew the manometer end,
then remove the collar and just use a dowel plug like some air rifles do, then if need be use the manometer for degassing ?

JimD:
There are some similarities to my P35s so I will guess that the manometer has flats and can be reached with a really thin socket wrench likes comes with the P35. If so you could unscrew the gauge if you can find the suitable wrench. That is not what you do on the P35, it has a degassing screw on the back end of the air tube. If you locate the wrench you would want to be sure you unscrew the gauge from the big nut on the end of the air tube. If you put a screw driver through the opening for the fill probe you can prevent the nut from turning.

thanks Jim
replaced a few monometers using small adjustable wrench
some having hex an some flat spots that are exposed at the top, but some below the top gauge glass ring.
the thin wall wrench would have to be very, very, thin wall, for clearance is very marginal, as this monometer does not appear to have any flat surfaces, exposed is just a silver top ring
I believe if there was a degassing screw, it would have mentioned in the degassing procedure
I'm unfamiliar with the wrench your referring to for the P35

Flatpicker:
I think there IS a degassing socket head at the back of the air tube. Mine is out in the barn in the gun room and it’s 2 degrees outside vs. 72 here in my Lazy Boy in the house or I would go check. ;D
My bullpup seems to have a huge amount of MOA built into the rail. I’ve got all the “Down” elevation in and still hitting 4 MOA high at 50 yards. Have installed shims in the front ring but 4 MOA is as low as I can get it. I’ve ordered some Westhunter adjustable rings to address the issue. Will keep you posted. Similar issue with my P15 or “Diana Skyhawk” as it was branded. Had just enough elevation on a UTG Compact 4x16 to zero it, but it’s writhing three clicks of being maxed out. Hate to run a scope that tight to its limits of adjustment.

Hey Kirk
Thanks for your input
Ya ! I hear you, expecting sub ZERRO temps here (Thinking Spring very strongly lately) I can feel my Lazy Boy Beckoning
I recall seeing a Spanish video that appears to be referring to an allen screw at the back of the air tube for degassing
never took Spanish so tried to understand it through CC (since I couldn't get the interpreter working)
other then pulling the air tube, I feel it's just going to be guess work
on the optic end (aside from my inquiry)
found some sites having similar issues with larger end dia. optics having these issues,
unable to tell you why, but their fix was
lowering the OD on ones front optics (been awhile so unable to send you the site or explain why this worked for them)
thanks again for your input
Bill
