What airgun related did you do today?

[Unk]

Re sealed my Daisy 717.  Put a Field Sport Red dot on it and smiled a lot.

Asking anyone here who owns a rear cocking 2240 or 13xx, if you can get me a video of how that opperates? I cant find any videos on youtube of someone loading/shooting the gun, just videos of it sitting on a table...

Somewhat had a small idea to turn my incoming 2240 to rear cocking but i have no idea how the bolt and cocking mechanism(s) work... So im not too sure how to ghetto rig one up if i had any parts/stuff for it.

I think this will help more than a video will. Here is a pick of the Rear Cocking Knob/Hammer and the Sear that was used in those.

Went out and did some practice with the ASP20 after the rains and dinner

Same ole, some good shots, some not so good shots. But things are improving more good than bad.

I should have shot the 30 yard benched match with the gauntlet as the conditions were perfect. Almost no wind mild temperatures and high humidity. But I was having to much fun trying to tame the springer.

Opened the box with the Crosman 1377 pistol that A.K.A. Tommy Boy gifted to me.

Wow, these later models are a LOT lighter than the vintage rear cocker that was stolen from me.

I will try to shoot it a little bit tomorrow.

Thanks again Tom!!!

It was my great pleasure to be in a position to " Pay-It-Forward " and help you out sir.

I too.... have been the recipient of great kindness by other GTA Forum members.

The GTA is truly a great Forum to be a member of.

But how does that opperate with the loading probe/bolt action? Thats my main question. I can pull the hammer and cock it, but how do i load/close the bolt/probe?

There is not a hammer pin linking the bolt handle or bolt cover on them, so the bolt handle or bolt cover works independently to just open the bolt and load the pellet when closed. Newer style bolt breeches with a blot handle will work or the older style breeches that have a bolt cover that has a screw that connects it to the bolt. i hope that is clearer than mud!

Some what. I beleive i understand 2/3 of how/what happens.... a video would explain alot but again i cant find one

If it has a bolt probe handle and rear cocking knob you would load the pellet like by moving the bolt normally. But actuating that bolt would not cock the gun. That would be done separately with the rear cocking knob.

Well, for 24 hours or so Monday, I found a buy it now on the eBay auctions & bought the like-new AIR17. Then later that evening, I won two auctions by the same seller for the Daisy 1894 30-30 NRA commemorative. Also for the Limited Edition 1894 saddle gun. Both NOS! Original boxes, papers...and hang tags! It seems to be a rare thing for the hang tags to still exist with vintage boxed rifles. And all thanks to my federal return finally being released. They are due in tomorrow and Friday. Oh yeah. That's four NOS rifles I've won on the eBay auctions.

I have found every time I bid high enough I "win" an auction. Just keep that between you and me, we don't want to give anyone any ideas how to beat us out or up!

[unionrdr]

Fer sher, man! Many don't understand they're posting a, " maximum bid". Took some getting used to, since their software caught up with the 3 second sneak. I think the hardest win I have to date was for the Crosman model #70 Pellgun. But well worth the effort!

I don't think it is a software fix that causes loses when snipeing, it is that with airguns increased popularity there is more bidders and most of them are willing to pay more than a given airgun is worth just to "win" and more are aware of snipeing now too. I am content to loose most auctions just to know I really did win when I buy one. I always use Blue Book as a GUIDE, knowing it is behind what most eBayer's are willing to pay I still usually won't go beyond about 70% Blue Book. I don't feel like a winner if I payed more than I can easily recoup if I ever need to. I think I have payed about 50% Blue Book on average. Good deals on eBay are getting scarcer but that's OK with me since I have 177 airguns currently. I still look frequently, can't help that! If I see one that I have to have I will pay what it is worth to the general market even though I have NO "plans" on selling any.

Filled my 90 cu in tank with the YH compressor. 11 minutes from 2,800 to 4,500 never got over 48C.

The YH is still chugging along with about 8 hours on it now.

Used that air to fill the Gauntlet and did some target shooting.

Scouted about 10 acres around my daughters place for signs of digging.
 I didn't  have to look far.  60 yards from the house where the wedding tent is i found several holes. Son in law to be said the tent will be gone monday so I can "clean the yard" of all the pests.

Just started heating up a batch of smelted lead I'm getting ready to use making the next size heavier wad cutters in .25 caliber.

You have my attention.
What weight are you going for?

Took my 392 out in the wee hours in the early morning just now to lube. Since I had the trigger out, I decided to polish the sear. It’s a lot nicer than it was.

Now I’m making Ice Tea, waiting for it to cool, sitting on the couch with a 392 on my lap, trying not to fall asleep. Lol

I think sleeping with your gun qualifies for the original topic.

lol You’re right.

I began anew my resto-repair of my free-to-me Benjamin 392, which has been laying in pieces, in my workshop for a very long time...
