I finally figured out what was keeping my VMX from cocking in it`s new luxurious wood stock. Well worth the effort.

Bill, sorry to hear the compressor was a scam. I didn't do much. Got rained out at 1030am, home by 1130am. Did some GTA stuff. Took a nap and then when I woke up I went out into the yard and saw a squirrel. Got the .177 marauder and missed twice. Came back in and got the 22 caliber marauder out and gave it ten minutes and went back out and stayed back a little further and seen him up in a tree. Lights out! Now back on GTA.

I’m thinking about finally taking the RS78 back down and attempting a SSG and lightening the hammer. Maybe do a little more polishing on the wood stock and taking the CF wrap off of the shroud and giving it a flat black or satin black paint job.

I cleaned out an old plastic truck toolbox so I put all my PVC target stands in there plus all my spinners and steel plates. I modified the half picnic table on the grandkids fort to a platform to hold the toolbox.

I have one of the original Steelplinkers swingers that you drove into the ground.
Didn’t like doing that so I asked Dave C for a base.
I also have a two paddle swinger that I tried to put together with the steelplinkers...
I used JB Weld Epoxy to hole the Yellow one on.
I guess I will have to use the regular JB Weld or have it welded on...

Frank, nice target set up. Hope you get the errant component welded soon. What distance were you shooting?

Sorry Dan but that 'fort' would no longer belong to the Grandkids if it was on my property.... perfect 'sniper' outpost. Just add camo cover and a swivel stool right in the center.

I agree. (chuckle)

I bought a new crosman 760 to put a rifled barrel in, which I have done. It took a while to get it back together but it is shooting fine. I would never recommend this gun to anyone. I didn't realize how badly they had cheapened this thing. Sad, very sad.

Archie, Zip ties are the way to go with that. A couple good sized ones and I`ll guarantee it will stay put.

Gave the Hatsan's a Rem-Oil rubdown. Like to rub oil on the metal now and then and rub out the excess and dirt/rust on all these rifles.

Just played with my Diana D460 which up until today was a laser. Today It is all over the place so first up install known good scope second tear it down and find the problem. This was my second adult AG the first was my GAMO Whisper Fusion .177. All I have done since the main spring broke 5 years ago is shoot her once I installed a new Vortek spring kit . If is not a bad seal I will try an ARH spring kit this time I really enjoy shooting the D460 it keeps me focused when I shoot it for the best groups possible.

You did notice the chair in the "fort"?
Exactly where I sit to ambush those tree rats.

YES !!! I see that now. Now for the camo cover. Oh, and mini fridge....

I guess I finished up my quest to find the favorite pellet for my Hatsan Edge. Two days in a row the H&N Sport Baracuda 10.65 gr. pellet won the tightest group. I didn't get to shoot 25 or 30 yard test today only the 20 yard.
And yes I couldn't resist some grilled squash and hamburger patties for lunch.

bear air · « **Reply #1294 on:** June 21, 2019, 06:28:49 PM »

Just tested the .177 H&N sniper mags and trying to order some from Hatsanusa.com.

Introduced the Grand-daughter to her new M.M. tuned Flying Dragon's XS-12.
She loves it and shot very well.
We spent the afternoon shooting together and the Lil stinker was hitting cans from 20 clear out to 35 yards!

I installed the Delrin muzzle brakes from SpiralGrove (Kirk) on my Hw30S and HW35E. After installing them, I shot both more than a few time to see if I had altered their POI's. After confirming the sightings, I went back inside to get out of the hellish heat and humidity.

Going trough every airgunsite on the internet to find out what my next gun will be, at first i was set for a pcp, a hatsan bt65 .22, very powerful but low shotcount, then a hatsan flash .177 or at44 .177, cause i dont have a powerful 177 pcp, but not so many shots from the flash either, then a hw95 came crawling in my head, would love one in 177,but i have so many good 177 rifles and if i get a 22 the hw97k would be jelaous i think...

avator · « **Reply #1298 on:** June 22, 2019, 06:21:28 AM »

Not sure what but I plan on getting into something air gun today.
We are going to close out the month of June before 2 week summer shutdown at work which begins Monday. I will go into the office this morning and finish up all my paperwork. I need to get all BOLs into the system from yesterday so I'm going in early. I should be out of there by 8am. Then Betty Lou wants to make the run to Andalusia 30 miles from home for breakfast and shopping. The rest of the weekend is mine.... from there I have a few projects planned at work next week during shutdown before a 9 day break for me.
This is the time of year I try to work on my home and air gun projects... and they sure have been piling up.

I tried to look up 3/4" Rifle Slings for my HW 35E only to find it is next to impossible to find! I haven't found one yet out of leather or nylon or anything. All slings are 1" and wider.

And half the ads won't specify if 3/4" until you click enough to get or see enough information telling you it's a waste of time.
I have gotten to the point of making one with leather and letting all the sling makers know there is a market for 3/4" wide slings.

Especially if you own a 35 E!
