Crosman-Benjamin Air Gun Gate / Re: Extended Pump 1322« Last post by ray1377 on April 17, 2024, 11:57:42 PM »I put the 2200 tube gun back together with a stronger hammer spring and a power adjuster resulting in no more retained air at 8 pumps. Doing so got an extra 19fps to 589fps at 8 pumps with the 14.3g pellets. Going to leave it there for now until I decide to turn it into something else as I usually do at some point. After all it's a LEGO you know. I ran both of my 1322 guns over the Chronograph today at 8 and 12 pumps to compare short tube to the long. Both are set up the same with flat top valve/pumps. The short tube at 8 pumps got 485fps, at 12 pumps it got 545fps with no retained air. The long tube at 8 pumps got 589fps with no retained air, at 12 pumps it got 641fps with a small bit of retained air. I usually only go 6 pumps in the pistols unless taking a shot at pests. Here are the two together. It seems I gained about 100fps either way compared. Awesome Ray 92

Air Gun Gate / Re: So.....what did you shoot today?« Last post by sekiar on April 17, 2024, 11:34:20 PM »It was in the mid 80s today so I pulled out my AR2078 in .117 caliber and went through 4 carts. Also cleaned the barrel as it was really dirty. Then I spent the rest of the time shooting my HW351E stainless and fitted in a nice walnut stock. Setting on top is a Hawke Vantage 4 power scope and what shooting machine the set up is. A rewarding afternoon shoot. Charles

Back Room / Re: So if you didn't do anything airgun related what did you do today?« Last post by Rabbit\Squirrel Killer on April 17, 2024, 11:11:30 PM »We drove home from our disappointing attempt at a vacation. The motorhome broke down only a few hours from home fortunately. It was rather expensive having it towed and I expect that as soon as we get it back from the shop it goes up for sale. It's a 2015 Mercedes chassis so hopefully we can make enough money off it to cover the repairs we'll have to make to get it saleable. Spent all day yesterday waiting for a tow truck. Stayed in a hotel last night and drove home this morning after talking to the guys at the dealership. I am sorry it went like that for you, bummer! 98

Ranchers used to pay us to go outside the hay sheds and shoot as many as we could, Got me through some lean times just out of college. (well wasnt lean, beer was a higher priority) 99
