What airgun related did you do today?

[avator]

Tested the Big Air Custom mags, in one of my Sentrys, the other needs the scope raised 1/8th inch, I also was sent a Notos mag, that fits and works great in my Notos. Thanks Troy !

Yep, I got the bonus NOTOS mag as well. Free is always good. 
Next order will be high capacity mag for the .25 Avenger. He already has them in stock. I need 6 of the factory mags loaded for a full fill... I'd like to reduce the number of mags and also less fiddly to load them.

Stalked around the USACOE permission after work.  The pp800r holster is totally comfortable and the chestpack stayed closed so run-n-gun gear is perfected.  Encountered 3 treerats all in the crown of the trees.  Fired 3 shots with the pp800r but no joy at those distances.  Driving out of the permission a doe with her two yearlings and two fawns were standing in the road.  They shuffled over into farmer Joe's field and started eating his hay like they were grazing cows.....Sometimes I hate being a model citizen...

shot 6 Tree Rats with the .25 Avenger, this thing is accurate and a power house, these Squirrels are getting Hammered.....

 Tinkering (still) on the Daisy 880 I just put together, while I'm waiting for seals from Daisy.
 A little weak, but also shotgun patterning on paper, and I just remembered to check the crown.
 oops NO Crown! And I had put a LDC on, and it was clipping. doh!
 Chamfered the crown and chamfered the breech end of the barrel as well.
Nice groups now, for being weak.

I stepped out on the front porch and sent 10 or so down range with the Diana Two Fifty .177. I've had this gun for well over a year, maybe 2 but I shoot it so little that it's probably still breaking in. It seems to be smoothing out pretty good and I can hit what I aim at. Scoped and elbow rested on a knee I put all the Crosman Piranhas in a dime group. This is the first gun I owned that even comes close to shooting those pellets well.

Converted my 1720T.

It now has a Fortitude tube and a MROD GEN 1 trigger assembly.

I’ll “prettify” this one

 Someone had brought a Gamo P23 like mine into my local Gunshop, and just like mine it needed the co2 cart face seal. Asked the owner if he could fix it.
Owner called Gamo, and they sent him a packet of face seals. (for a 25) He got it working.  I asked how he did it. After cleaning the old one all out, he managed to shove the new one in.  He gave me a seal to try, and I succeeded tonight. I had to disassemble the gun and held the valve right in my hand.
 It goes in like the quad seal on a Crosman 1400.
    I've seen pics of the P23 seal and it's just a disc. The P25 seal is like a quad seal.

It looks funny, but I’m thinking of putting it in a Nutmeg Boyd’s Varmint stock with an adjustable cheek piece, or go tactical with it, I dunno.

Found a Cerakote applicator that is really good, so I’m having this one done but haven’t fully decided on the color yet 

The MROD trigger and safety blades also look funky—-needs some deburring and brushed-polish as I seem to have perfected that method 🍻

Funny you pulled out the twofifty. I was just reading your thread about it coincidentally as they are on sale for 99.99$ at midway right now.

I like the gun.. It's smoothing out pretty good. I had to use 2 hands to cock it when I first got it and now I can use one hand for several shots before I begin to struggle.

Shot it today and it shoots good at 25 yards, my limited range 👍

There’s a big towel and stones in my shoot box to protect my wall 

Hmm, I need about 1.5” of cheek rise, so I’m thinking of having my wood and metal smith neighbor cut it, but I’ll do the pillars myself.

I got a great deal on a comma wheel so I put it on TX#3.
Checked the zero and it is fine.
I will go to the range next Wednesday and mark it up.

I continued my test of the 17gr Ruger SuperPoint pellets.  I noticed that three of my air rifles seemed to shoot these pellets pretty accurately.  I thought I would do a proper analysis of the pellet's performance in several rifles.  Guns tested were Crosman 3622, Crosman 362, Xisico XS60C, Crosman 2200, and a Hatsan mod 95.  Groups were shot from the seated unsupported position at thirty yards.  Groups from all five guns shared some commonalities.  Ten shot groups from all five produced very tight one-hole clusters of five or six shots surrounded by flyers that opened the group up to 2-3 inches.  The mod 95 handled them the best producing 1" group with two flyers that opened it up to about 2.5".  Chronograph numbers were all over the place with the C3622 doing the best at 614 fps but with a spread of 27 fps and a SD of 8.4. 

I'm going to try sorting these pellets by weight to see if I can eliminate some of the flyers.

Might be worth starting a superpoint thread. I'm glad to know this info.

Its odd how some pellets will appear to be accurate in the field but sitting down at a bench and trying to get a good group on paper is frustrating.  I have been thinking about doing a review of this pellet and today's testing was to compile some baseline data.  I couldn't get a decent group with the consistent flyers so I didn't take any pictures.  These pellets don't look terribly well made but I don't have the tools to measure head or skirt diameter.  My scale is literally an antique gold balance from the Yukon gold rush.  But it does measure in grains.  So I don't think I'll be starting a new thread yet about this pellet unless I can figure out a way to eliminate the flyers.

A couple air rifles delivered today but I wasn’t there to open them so the boys are opening them and going to shoot them for me.  I’ll post some pictures later if they send me some.

How about a pic of that scale with a pellet on it?

Fiddled with the trigger on the 460 for a couple hours. Shooting. Adjusting. Shooting. Adjusting,

The cphps I tumbled seem to be doing ok. Too soon to tell.

this turned out to be a fail.  Seal was too thick. Working on a replacement.
