What airgun related did you do today?

[Madd Hatter]

Did a 3 10 shot strings on my new to me refurb Hatsan 135. It's still dieseling, so I'm going to just figure fpe from the lowest fps. Man is that thing a work out to cock! Not sure if I'll be able to use the open sights as the front sight looks to be rotated form vertical. I do have to say when I was shooting the 14.5 crosmans the rifle was recoiling so violently that it ended up hurting my trigger finger. Of course it would've helped if I would've just had the pad of the end of my finger pull the trigger and not the first joint of my trigger finger. LOL LOL!

That and the weight of the magnum springers are what turned me away.
Kudos to those who own, enjoy and respect them.. I'm just not that guy.

I used to be that guy, now enjoy the smooth push of a big bore PCP

Added a few new features to the North Side shootin' range. Then I shot the snot out of them with the Umarex NoDoze.   
Shooting paintballs off of golf tees at 45yds is among the best things in life. I busted 9 in a row and only snapped off one tee.

made a new part correctly this time for my friends Avenger Bottle conversion kit, threading on a lathe is a big pain in the Whatyahoosit...... I need to make a Crank handle that will fit on the end of the lathe....

Slugged the pp800r and Notos barrels.  Now that I've had the barrel off and clocked back on correctly I am considering the plenum kit....I ordered the MP Molds HUGE 5.55x35gr 8 cavity mold so I might need some more umph in the Notos..Used the Amazon tiny level bubbles to remount the Notos CP 3-12x42AO.  Tightened up the pp800r dovetail to Pic adapter.  Tomorrow is LGR day after work :-).  Looked long and hard at options for putting a 2200-2600psi regulated 300ishCC bottle under the Challenger....which would require the weight reduction stock to be milled....Hajimoto has a Ninja Bottle combo for the Gauntlet that could probably be "engineered" to fit....hmmm

That which does not kill you makes you stronger.

First of all don't shoot light fodder through that cannon!  IMO 14.3gr pellets are too light for my .22 cal mod 125 much less the mod 135.  My .25 cal mod 135 shoots very comfortably with 25.39gr JSB Kings.

I admit to being 6'6" and 280 lbs but you really gotta be a masochist to love these guns.

I did PCP Compressor Maintenance today, tore down the cylinders of the Spritech and the GX compressors, cleaned out the gunk, inspected the seals replaced worn seals and re-lubed with Synthetic compressor oil and reassembled, took about 30 minutes each, pretty easy, replaced dirty filters, test operation, pressurize to 4500..... all good and ready to go....

I'm building an 853 FrakenDaisy.

I'm using the extra parts that CMP sent along with some ordered from Daisy and
assembled it late this morning.

I'll refinish the stock with tru-oil just like I did 853#1, then put it all together and have my
second 853 at about 75% of the price for a rifle from CMP again.

It will be some used parts and some new... FrankenDaisy.

I worked on cleaning and organizing the man shed.  I nail gunned peg board to the walls to hang tools and air guns on.  I D-Exed seven bicycles and a bunch of junk from the shed and the yard.  Gonna make e trip to the landfill tomorrow.  When I’m done half the 10’X20’ shed will be for air guns, air gun work bench, and air gun tools.  The other half will be for art projects and bicycle storage.

I see another hole in hole casual match shooter and some beautiful wood and steel in the future.
Glad you are enjoying the hobby!

Any youtube links?  I think my GX is ready for some maintenance she's struggling to make the journey to 4,000psi for the 303 Challenger..

         A second one!  and looking good!
      That's cool!  Be very interesting to see any differences in fps and accuracy!

It will be a couple of days for the stock refinishing to be complete.

I still have the valve body/barrel assembly I ordered from a company that I can't use, unless I buy some more parts to accommodate it.

It's shown on the website to be for an 853, but when it arrived the tag and subsequent research showed it to be
for an 853-C, the Canadian version, which is a repeater with a clip.
I can't use it, so I'm trying to return it for a refund.

I've already left messages on the "contact us" page and I get no response.

We got a bunch done in the Red Shed yesterday so I'm going to take another swipe at the Casting Cabin today. I need to make some room to put a small table in where I can sit and sort/weigh pellets. Long sessions standing to pour and sort take a toll on my back. I need the time it takes to sit and sort. Betty Lou and I discussed a plan yesterday and I think we came up with some good ideas.
Yard tools such as rakes and shovels will find a home hanging on the walls in the atv garage and the mower port an the gas powered trimmers, blower and pole saw will go into the Red Shed. Fishing poles can go up in the rafters in the Red Shed.
Betty Lou also mentioned some things she wants to do to make the bar area more friendly for her painting and crafting projects.
I found a linksys 2.4 wireless router I forgot I had while puttering in the Red Shed yesterday. It may work in the Casting Cabin.

  Baby steps today, first thing I did was steal a recoil pad from the Winnie 1977 and put it on the FX DRS. Much GOODER  , that extra 3/4"  LOP makes all the difference, I could tell just y shouldering it and holding on trget then pulling thropught the trigger to the safety wall, gun holds solid, even with my strained lower back, that is feeling much better this AM so not going to over do the yard work, slow and easy speed on the mow rider today   

[Ronfiveo]

The refinishing has begun.
