Air Gun Gate / Re: What airgun related did you do today?« Last post by Ronfiveo on Today at 06:18:41 PM »I checked out something I read earlier in the Daisy Gate about cocking the 853.
It said that you could increase FPS just by pausing while cocking it. I was just taking the lever up to the top and back down like cocking a Daisy Red Rider. I did a test. Before pausing I was getting an average of 410 FPS. After pausing at the top I was getting from 453 to 465 FPS. I guess it does really pay to not be in a hurry and to pause and let more air in to the chamber before bringing the lever back down. I wonder if this works with other single stroke pneumatics. Ron 2
Daisy Gate / Re: Increase of FPS.... by pausing« Last post by HOSPassassin on Today at 06:16:07 PM »I don't have an x53 but I have had many 880's and 901's. It is important to open the cocking lever out to full extension until you hear a "fft" noise and close it smoothly and steadily. That ensures that it pulls in all the air it can. Rapid and careless pumping is hard on the gun and gives poor results.

Czech & Russian Air Guns / AV-46M Grip Removal and ?s« Last post by BadFishHagDog on Today at 06:11:41 PM »Hello all. First post after my intro message. Been a lurker for some time so I've got some postin' to do to catch up to y'all.
So here is my first question for everyone: How do I get the dang grips off of my AV-46M? I removed the two screws in the left side but the grip feels glued on. No wiggle whasoever. I fiddled with clamping the pistol and tapping the grip off with a mallet/dowel but the shape is not vise or clamp friendly. I have held and shot it for a couple of years now so I feel ready to have a go at shaping the grip but I do not want to carve it while on the pistol. I am also contemplating inlaying an extension shelf on the right for the trigger finger, and a pressure point trigger, like the Hammerli 100 free pistols. But only if the grip comes off! And finally, does anyone know if the compression tube and barrel are removable? They too seem glued (or chemically welded). Thanks, Jared 4
Daisy Gate / Increase of FPS.... by pausing« Last post by Ronfiveo on Today at 06:10:32 PM »I was reading through some of the older 853 posts and read that by
just pausing with the lever at the top before closing the cocking lever you could increase the FPS some. I was just taking the lever up to the top and back down like cocking a Daisy Red Rider. Before the pause technique it was measuring about 400 to 410 FPS. After pausing at the top it now measures around 453 to 465 FPS. I know all rifles are different but I was wondering if anyone else would get similar results with their 853. So, I'm asking for those who have the ability, to cock the rifle with out a pause and then with a pause and see if there's a significant increase in FPS. Please post your results here. Ron 5
Air Gun Gate / Re: So.....what did you shoot today?« Last post by ER00z on Today at 06:08:54 PM »Spent some time shooting an Air Arms S510 Twin Cylinder in .22cal. Has point and click type accuracy that puts a smile on your face. Makes me want an Air Arms S500 in .177 soooo baaaad... But shooting my Marauder .177 keeps those thoughts at bay. After supper the Marauder has to come out, still thinking of an AA S500 in .177

Air Gun Gate / Re: So what did you Order / Receive today ? (to feed the "Beast" that lives within)« Last post by avator on Today at 06:07:24 PM »Well... the carb arrived.... not the right one. But, I was able to use some gaskets, orings and springs from it and get the old one running like new. Plus it came with more gaskets, wiring and filters that I can use if I need them. Basically the body wasn't right. Mounting alignment was wrong. (clocked at 2:00 instead of 12:00)
So the old Husqvarna is back up to working order. 7
