What airgun related did you do today?

[Wayne52]

I ordered o rings from the "O Ring Store" for my latest ATI Nova Freedom

[bear air]

Ordered a couple trigger blades from RAW for my armada and marauder and now I'm going to install my new cothran valve into the armada and start some testing/tuning.

[bantam5s]

I made a custom little screwdriver for adjusting my Williams Wgrs54 peep sight.
I wanted a specific perfectly fitted driver so I don't ever strip the screws out, and I wanted it small so I don't over tighten them.

Hey,David, that came out good!  A "special" tool for that "special" airgun.

Thanks.
I'm quite pleased with it, it's just the right size handle and tip for the task.
The square ish Rosco handle is perfect for this when you really only need 1/4 turn or so to be able to adjust the sight.

Talked to Mike M. over lunch...
On the phone that is.

Tract one of these; Sheridan C9PB Commemorative Edition...said the 9th.

 I just hung out here on the GTA

Replaced the target face on my vintage croman pellet/bb trap. Looking forward to getting the silhouette targets from PA.

Shot the springers yesterday (Benji Titan and Mayhem). Quite frustrating. I cant even stay in a 3" circle out at 30 yards.

Move it up to 20 yards and they shoot great Dont know why but that extra 10 yards seems to be beyond my capacity to hit consistently with them.

how did it shoot before the barrel got bent?  Possibly still something with that?
 It only has to be off a degree or two where it leaves the bore to be off inches or feet further away.
Up close you do better, but further away it gets worse.
  JMHO.

[Bicycleman]

But, what about the consistency?  I had that same problem with a nitrogen gun.

[UlteriorModem]

The titan actually shot better than before the bent barrel, after I straightened it

I dont know maybe I was just having an off day, so spoiled by the PCP. But consistency? pffft… Like I said often I would have no idea where the pellet hit it was so far off the mark.

I dont know what is up with the Titan but if you let it sit a day or two the first cock it squeals and squeaks the entire compression stroke. I had it open recently to add some Krytox because of that and replaced the seal. It still squeaks.

Kris,
  You mean the Ram, Turkey, Boar, Chicken set?

I been wanting them too for the 1701P.

I should try this too with the M17! So they send you the targets free?

Air gun related, I did some R&R on the pellet trap. It was starting to come apart, weighed like 20 lbs, and needed a new lid. So I cleaned it out sorted the pellets from the rubber mulch, re-filled it, put the new lid on it and taped it up.

Minutes later I was filling it up again with H&N FTT from my Titan. Went a little better today.

[Oldgringo]

I chronied 5 different 10 shot pellet groups to see which pellet had the best stats and which pellet had the best 10 shot group at 30 yards in/from my brand new HW35E.  At this point, the 7.87 gr. JSB Express is the winner.  There were close seconds, stay tuned.

Yes, you just pay for the shipping, BRAWL19 is the code. It's for one set. If you buy more than one set it will knock off the $9.99 for the entire purchase. I bought the 8 pack which totals to 32 of them.

Thanks Kris, I wondered how they were gonna handle the larger orders.

Did some unpacking...

[Mole2017]

Tested seven different pellets through two chronographs to see if I got any huge differences. I've got a Combro 625, which straps onto the muzzle of the rifle, and an older ProChrono. Having two chronographs suggests some simultaneous testing of velocity at the muzzle and at the target, but first I wanted to see if they were consistent with each other.

So, 5 shots each for 7 different pellets through a Huma regulated BSA R10 set at 150 bar. The short answer: average of fives shots for either method of within 1 percent of the other. Actually, the first pellet tested had the largest and all others were better than 1/2 percent. That might be interpreted as the "first test had the largest difference", but I didn't think to test that first pellet again at the end. 

So, at my next opportunity, I'll move the ProChrono out to 30 yards and repeat. Hopefully, I can dial in some ballistic coefficients for use in software. For that matter, I could test with the ProChrono at any distance, but my yard will let me do 30 pretty easily. Of course, the BC is just an approximation, so I'll test some other configurations, e.g. different regulator setting and longer distances if I can find a convenient location.
