What airgun related did you do today?

[bear air]

I took some pictures of rifles and ammo to place on agn classifieds. Placed the ad and have been questions from potential buyers. Anyone looking for a decked out fortitude, pp750, disco carbine or reasonably priced ammo head over and check it out. Here's one of the pics I took. This rifle is not for sale.

Cleaned out my PM folder..

It puts less stress on the servers to do this from time to time.

I cast up a tin full of 50 grain bob's boat tail slugs, 25 caliber, solid and hollow point mix.  This is the NOE mold and it works perfectly.  I get nice castings every time with all of the molds from this company.

I made these to test out in the GK1 pistol and for anyone who's interested it's as if these were custom-made for that magazine. The slugs are the exact length of the cylinder, and the drive bands are just large enough that they engage with the rifling in the chambers and are snugly held in position. 

For anyone who is trying to get the higher power out of this for hunting perhaps, these might be a good way to go

Shooting offhand at small targets from about 20 m I find my accuracy with these to be similar as with pellets.  That's obviously a sign that the limiting factor here is my shooting skill and not the pellets themselves so I don't yet know how they actually compare to commercial pellets.

Was going to clean mine out the other day, but my near 100% full was somehow 10% full.

Then I noticed I'm a senior contributor now, which I suspect explains it.

What in the world is the AGD mystery box?

[ALWIII]

  Replaced the piston seal in my modded Benji XL725. Seems to eat seals at a greater rate with the new gas ram, and the ARH seals are more delicate than the stock ones. The greater pressures produced make detonation more likely, too, and that eats big chunks out of the ARH seals.
  "Speed costs money, son. How fast do you want to go?" LOL

The benji xls often have burrs that need cleaned off to prevent seal eating. Not sure if that's true of yours. Not all members of the same family have the same rough spots.

Air Gun Depot = Pyramyd's sister company.
They offer a $200 Mystery Box occasionally ...
They sold out this time in 15 minutes.

 I went turkey hunting with an airgun, for the first time. Same old story turkeys 300 yards away and not coming in LOL

 +1 I deburred all the stampings, put buttons on the piston, etc.. The new seal brought the fps back up by 100. I'll go back to the Crosman/Benjamin piston seals next time. They're tougher and seem to hold up to the extra power a lot better. They also are more consistent velocity for me. Probably the thicker rim. I think the thinner outer edge of the ARH and Pyramyd Walther seals don't seal as well with the uprated gas ram.

Sent off a gun to another member who sent one my way as well.

[Matchstickshooter]

 got the 1377 RC out, looked it over.
    put it away.

I gave my Crosman 66 and a tin of pellets to my neighbor.

I was out back shooting one of my guns and heard him shooting something with his son, so I figured he might want the 66 that I never shoot.
That was a good decision too because they were shooting an old .22 B3 which is a little big and heavy for his kids.

At least somebody will be shooting it.
I shot it maybe a dozen times when it arrived then never shot it again.

making some Bottle Conversion parts for my friend, but I goofed and cut the bottle side threads too small, that's what I get for not measuring twice.... good thing I got lots of material for just that reason... just hate having to make it more than once....
