I did some early morning testing with my cast pellets and the PP700SA, I'll be going for a woods walk with it tomorrow morning more than likely.

I think there are photo's here of Jeff with objects hanging from a hole in his finger...
Wise voice of experience he is on what NOT to do.
Why did I know this would haunt me forever?

I am not surprised even in the slightest.

Ouch! That looks like it really hurt. Nice pistol Wayne. I pulled the Discovery 3x12x44 scope off the new Fortitude and put a BSA on it interim until something else gets here.

That's a good looking stock Chris! Really dresses up the Fortitude!

I had a mishap about three years ago where I shot a .177 pellet though my left index finger. I was shooting short/pistol carbines and misplaced my left hand where that finger was on the barrel end without realizing it. The pellet entered close to the tip and exited past the knuckle after glancing off the bone at the joint, traveling about 5/8" of in inch though flesh under the skin. I decided not to go to a doctor so I let/made it bleed to help clean it out and bandaged it up and it healed good leaving a very small scar and a gray dot from the lead at the exit point. It hurt up my arm to my ear for a while. The finger joint was stiff for a long time but eventually got back to normal. You can barely see any scarring but I circled the entrance and exit spots.

Filled another Daisy 880 stock with caulking.

Had to build up a new pellet trap. After about a year the mulch had gotten tunneled through and large holes in the plastic cutting board at the back had opened up and the pellets were passing clean through

I was getting close to being done but then the rains came.

PLANS are to tonight move the Y.H. out to the garage and get it all set up there instead of the house, and reboard all 4 backstops, repaint all my knock-downs and spinners, and print a bunch of targets.
All in preparation for tomorrows shooting day with friends and family.
They are PB'ers and I am introducing 5 gents to what an airgun can do.

Tried to get the shroud off of the Wildcat. I managed to make a blister on the edge of my right hand index finger repeatedly trying to unscrew the end cap. No success even with much heat applied. I ended up cleaning the barrel with the shroud on.

Finished making a new SS valve and poppet for my Crosman 400 (Sears) HPA'd 30 cal. parts gun. Filled with 1000psi and put it away to test for leaks. Need to make a new TP bushing as I increased it to a 1/4" hole and 5/16" bore. No pics yet....

Put together another "can" (smaller) for my other 415 (the one that actually takes a Crosman CO2 without leaking.

It quit raining long enough for me to finish the new pellet trap and shoot a few rounds out of the Titan.

Started out quite well hitting 2" targets consistently from 30 yards. Then took a short break came back and now I had to adjust the scope up about 2 or 3 moa? Shot okay for a while then it started wandering downwards to where it was before.

It 'seems' like the gun shoots pretty good when it is still cool from being inside but the poa wanders dramatically as it warms up. It might just be me but I dunno the shift is pretty dramatic.

Going by the hardware store to get some new screws and washers today and replace the stock screws and see if that helps any.

Waiting for the mail to show up. Then I can put the rings and scope on my .22 Maximus with that beautiful Boyd's stock. Got the Vevor all set up and ready to sight the scope in.
Pics coming.

I cast a bunch more of my 19.6 grainers today

fwbsport · « **Reply #1434 on:** July 13, 2019, 03:39:20 PM »

Applied second layer of Schaftol's gunstock oil on my new HW35E and left it in the sun for 3 hours (90 degrees here) to seep it in.
It's becoming more characteristic of its grain colors which go light to dark in thin stripes.

Took down the Wildcat and disassembled the regulator for a little inspection, clean up and tweak.

BackStop · « **Reply #1436 on:** July 13, 2019, 11:06:02 PM »

Only had one chance at a shot at a tree rat. By the time I got the window open, he was out of my "kill zone". This one is not a "newbie".

Other than that, I checked my kill zones regularly, but did not have another shot, long or short range.

Need to order more pellets, but I am waiting to see if "Prime day" will have some deals on what I need.

Prime expires for me on August 2.

I have two of Mike’s targets (ABC Targets.com).
I added some boxes and handles to make it easy to move around for pre-match sight-in/practice:

A month or so back I came home from a yard sale with a Crosman 66 and a plastic Daisy 880.
I restored the 66, but a month ago I had dropped some stuff off for consignment sale,at a local gun shop. The Daisy had gone along, All I had done with it at the time was the silver shim in the trigger. I already have a Daisy 880, M/M.

Anyway ,went and got my stuff back, that didn't move,and decided to make the Daisy all I can make her to be.
Loaded that stock with a tube of caulking, robbed my Geo LDC from the M/M, and installed my Crosman 3-9x32 scope.
Nice, quiet, hammer! lol Liking this more than the M/M!

I can only test indoors into my trap at this point, anxious for the week to begin, and the tenants off to work!
