Well I've come to the conclusion that these guns are genuine JUNK!!!!

I have to laugh! No doubt the machining tolerances are WAY below high quality... and the tinker factor may ware thin on some! But
I will say for A cheap gun it has a great barrel It shoots most any pellet more than good enough for hunting, Its light weight and quiet! That said mine has held air for 4 days now after the reg orings

I have not attempted to disassemble this air rifle, so I can't really comment on fit/finish/workmanship of the internals. Mine has not lost air since it did it's mystery air dump yesterday morning. I do want to figure a way to tighten the slop in the cocking lever, but even in it's currently floppy state it loads pellets smoother than any of the bolt action rifles I own, and i have yet to have a jam or double feed, something I can't say about the other mag fed rifles I own. For the money, so far I am pleased. It does have a 1 year warranty, so as hard as it will be to resist the temptation to tear into it, I think I will try the best I can to hold off on this one just to see how things go. That way if something does have a catastrophic failure I can invoke the warranty and have it fixed or replaced.

I seen someone mention they could tell by a cross section if the stock was walnut or not so I took the butt pad off for a photo but seriously I can't tell if it's walnut or not.

Wayne52 · « **Reply #263 on:** July 12, 2018, 12:21:21 PM »

I think it probably is beech because it just looks too light colored to be walnut IMO.

I haven't taken the reg apart yet, I will do that next, could you tell by visual inspection that the oring was bad?

Wayne52 · « **Reply #265 on:** July 12, 2018, 02:18:43 PM »

I think I found the culprit, it's one of the big orings on the outside of the regulator. I started to open up the regulator but cut myself short and thought maybe it was the ones on the outside that Mike was talking about.

Wayne it was pushed out of the groove!! What are you pointing to the pic is hard to see

Mike if you click on the photo it's easy to see in full view.

That was me I am not a super expert but have studied wood identification a good bit since a youngster and from the rays it does look like some sort of European or Asian beech to me... have never seen walnut that is that light either...

would need at least a 10x loupe to be sure... but petty durn sure it is not Walnut...

Kirby:
I don't believe that I have ever seen Asian walnut either, thus perhaps we don't really know what the grain of select-grade Asian walnut should look like? When I first saw the stocks of the Dynamic, they didn't look like walnut to me either, but I figured I could have gotten a stock with plain grain, and wasn't ready to doubt that the company would promote select-grain walnut and give us something else? I'm still not certain what we have here? Worst comes to worst, we have some sort of hardwood that is stained a walnut color? It looks nice, but should be what we thought we bought.

Did it say walnut or Asian walnut... there is no such thing as Asian Walnut it is a marketing term for Acacia...

Walnut is of the family Juglandaceae, Acacia trees are members of the family Fabaceae...

Here is a bit about Acacia...

I've had my .22 apart so many time now that I could do it in my sleep. In regards to the side lever allen head pin, I had the same issue, along with striping out one of the barrel shroud allen set screws when I had to remedy my pellet clipping issue. Here's what I did. Gently tap a T7 Torex bit/driver into the stripped 1.5mm allen bolt. The metal they use for the bolts is softer than the Torex bits I have, and the T7 will give you some serious bite. They should come right out. You can reuse the the set screws and the pin. The T7 straking that results inside the 1.5mm head is cleaner than the original allen. Hopes this helps.

I know what it is, it's select walnut stain. LMBO they just forgot the word stain is all .lol

deerflyguy · « **Reply #273 on:** July 12, 2018, 05:20:33 PM »

It only referred to walnut. I did look in Wikipedia though, and they say there that, in 2014, China produced nearly half of the world's production of walnuts! That should infer that they do indeed have the walnut tree - and many more than found anywhere else. Not far from China, is Indonesia, which produces Sepatia, which is called Indonesian walnut, and is used in the stocks found on the Evanix line of air guns. Someone smarter than me will have to rule on this question?

deerflyguy · « **Reply #274 on:** July 12, 2018, 05:23:31 PM »

Yes, Wayne, the stocks have been stained, probably with walnut color, but over what kind of wood?

Maybe we should do a DNA test on it to see what it really is! LOL! I'm surprised it's not Bamboo!

deerflyguy · « **Reply #277 on:** July 12, 2018, 06:50:11 PM »

Whatever wood it is, we would have bought it anyway. It looks nice.
We'd have paid that much for a synthetic stocked regulated air gun.
Last year, we did just that!

I gave this link to Walter at Aim Sports, just wish he would register with GTA and post here to clear some of this stuff up for us. Sorry to hear more are having problems be it whatever they are. Have to agree that there are indeed quality issues, but will reserve further judgment until I get mine back and see how it shoots. Although I don't expect it to shoot like a $1000 FX or Daystate, I would like to see it hold together none the less and at least be serviceable. Heck, look at some of the little set scews on a Disco or 22xx whatever, even some of the American made guns have issues. But now that I think about it, suspect that a lot of the parts on Crosman guns are made in China too.
