PCP/CO2/HPA Air Gun Gates "The Darkside" / Re: Benjamin Fortitude Leak Question« Last post by Rick67 on Today at 10:25:13 AM »Poppet. Dirt or an impediment would cause the poppet to leak, but it would have leaked at all stages of pressure. If it’s the poppet, I’d burnish it first, the “plastic” portion that sits on the valve seat, by attaching it to a hand drill, using fine grit. Removing the shroud for the balloon test would optimize results. 2
Back Room / Re: Good morning! Are you up yet? What's your plans for today?« Last post by Ronfiveo on Today at 10:20:07 AM »Yesterday my final two shots dropped a good 3" from POA.
I cocked it again and I could hear some hissing and gurgling from around the breech area. I was thinking that I would have to do another rebuild. It hasn't been that long. This morning I tried it out again and the first shot was ok, then when I cocked it the gurgling was back. But after that it seems to be shooting well as usual. I have no idea of why it's so intermittent. If it keeps shooting ok, then fine, but if it continues to be hit or miss (pun intended) then I might have to do another rebuild with changing the O-rings and valve kit. I sure don't want to do that.

Back Room / Re: Good morning! Are you up yet? What's your plans for today?« Last post by Jshooter71 on Today at 10:11:04 AM »Good morning GTA! Happy Friday Eve!!! I slept in until nearly 0600… things have been chaotic lately, everywhere around me: work, church, home, family, etc. It’s all good, because I’ve had enough. Topped it off with my birthday yesterday that went to south all day. Ayrabella stayed home from school because we stayed up too late. I’ve had my 2 cups of coffee, but there’s no work this morning and thunderstorms. The girls are still in bed, so I think I’ll turn my ringers down and go back to bed for a couple hours. We’ll see what I might do afterwards, if the office doesn’t come up with something. I’m not complaining, I’m just declaring no more chaos for me. Way past due that I put the monkeys back in their cage… I down even own a monkey.

Back Room / Re: So if you didn't do anything airgun related what did you do today?« Last post by maraudinglizard on Today at 10:09:29 AM »I don't mind the wasps either, they take out a lot of caterpillars. Even 6 years after the hurricane a lot of things have still not recovered well including the insects. The beekeepers in this area are just now starting to get back to normal for production. They still have to deal with the mites and beetles in the nucs. The new nucs that disperse the mite dust are not cheap. This year the tupelo will have a decent bloom with all the flooding. Hopefully the beekeepers will have a good harvest for the next few weeks. I had more honey bees around the citrus this year and had a pretty good set.That reminds me, we just had a truck load of bees in hives delivered to the orchard yesterday was nice and sunny, they were happy bees from FL, this am it is 34f LOL I bet they are freezing their Bee hinds off Yep, they are going to be a little sluggish. The ladybugs I put out last night are little slow going this morning but have already taken chunk out of the bugs on the citrus. I have another batch coming on Friday. The lacewings go out today, they will hatch out in the next week or so. That will keep the caterpillars under control. I have plenty of veggies to keep them around for the summer. 6
Bargain Gate / Re: How to get a discount on PARD Scopes!« Last post by HunterWhite on Today at 10:05:38 AM »That PARD looks pretty good. I have a NV008S with LRS. It cost 3x that. The light sensor on the one you show has better resolution than mine. That's a really good deal.
You must have several night vision scopes, judging by your hole punch videos. I would like to read your comments if you have a thread discussing them. Hunter 7

Support Equipment For PCP/HPA/CO2 / Re: HPA compressors« Last post by cosmic on Today at 09:41:28 AM »I used the screws that came with the hour meter.. I did need to add a shims because they were to long..
The power supply has it's own fan, which is on the top of the power supply, so I placed it with the feet or pads toward the machine and screwed it from the inside of the cover.. It was mounted to the side that has no vents... |
