Back Room / Re: Good morning! Are you up yet? What's your plans for today?« Last post by Madd Hatter on Today at 04:47:47 PM »Winter took it's time getting here but seems to be taking it's time leaving. We're just now getting to the point where the nighttime temperature isn't dropping below 40. 40 is the cut off temperature for my wife's flowers to stay out all night. I've got 8 potted flowers that I've been dragging out of the garage in the morning and dragging back in at night. Been doing that since early fall. Thank the Lord I don't have to do that until fall again.🎇🎇🎇🎇 BUT, I'll probably be digging holes so she can replant them in the garden.😞

That looks divine mercy! Ask the butcher at your meat shop to cut it for you. That could last me a couple weeks. Mighty yummy food you're all posting guys congrats! I'm finally done with all the tasty thighs so I'm baking up another slab of baby backs in peach juice at 250 for four hours then caramelizing the bbq sauce and seasoning on them for 10 minutes at 500. Between that and those chicken thighs I could live off those two exclusively and be just fine! I did enjoy a honey crisp apple and a roma tomato too. 3

I just take the opportunity to practice my artistic nature by drawing shapes with pellet holes. That or try and knock every single spec of paint off my steel targets. 5
Machine Shop Talk & AG Parts Machining / Re: oring internal to barrel or on bolt?« Last post by Rick67 on Today at 04:02:04 PM »A .177 MROD barrel would also work if you pair it with a .177 Fortitude bolt and probe assembly.
It’ll be a single-shot though; use a MROD SST, file the base a bit, then voila 👍 My PROD uses .22 MROD/UMAREX Gauntlet SST, but I had to sand the bottom a bit (1 mm or so). 6
Daisy Gate / Daisy 747 Pesky Intermittent Leak« Last post by Ronno6 on Today at 03:59:42 PM »My first 747 reseal.
Not going as planned..... There was an audible air leak heard from the breech when the gun was cocked and pimped. First attempt, the exhaust valve seemed to me a touch loose in the valve body. Could it be that simple? Nope..... First time....total silence........no leak. Second try............leak. So......... I replaced the exhaust valve with a NEW one. First cycle...........NO leak, Ahhhhhhhhhh Second cycle.........LEAK. Grrrrrrrrrr Tried another new valve, and the same old leak.... So, I replaced the O-ring valve body to pump tube. NO LEAK !! Or, so it seemed. Never heard a hiss...... But, I had not replaced the piston O-ring, and I wanted t be thorough. Re-assembled, and..............LEAK !!! What else is there to try??? 7

Crosman-Benjamin Air Gun Gate / Re: Extended Pump 1322« Last post by Van on Today at 03:52:52 PM » Peter, thanks for the Marauder valve stem tip. I never thought about that. I do have some of those as my Disco tube builds use.them in the custom valves from Magnum Airpower. If I remember right the 66 tube is 14 " long so it's about 3" shorter than a 2200 and 1- 1/4" longer than a 1377. The walnut stock was a shaped but not inlet one I ordered from Numrich when they had some factory seconds. I inlet it and cut the pump arm the correct length.

Air Gun Gate / Re: What airgun related did you do today?« Last post by Matchstickshooter on Today at 03:21:06 PM » Dug out the all metal rear sight that came clamped to the dovetail of my old Chinese B3.
It sat crooked on the dovetail, so I ended up with a scope. Reworked it. it was the side bolt through/clamp that was off centered a bit . Made the bolt hole a bit bigger, and did some filing on the clamp. Now it sits straight, and can be used for another project. |
