What airgun related did you do today?

[Matchstickshooter]

 Playing scope swap again.

I swapped the stock and grip off the 30 cal bottle armada and installed the Hera stock and a shorter shroud on it. Tomorrow the different tube comes and I will get it a 100 percent assembled. It looks pretty nice and I'm looking forward (once again) to getting this new regulator and tuning it to shoot the 44.75's 915-925 fps. I might see if there's more in it and how the efficiency is affected. Next I installed the ab arms stock and ergo palm shelf grip on my m50. Im happy with the feel of both Carbines. I'll post some pics when I get the armada all put together and aired up.

Put a red dot on the 362.  Noticed the opposite end of the tightening nut... the head is rotating as I try and tighten.  So put some locktite in there and am letting it cure.  Will try tightening again tomorrow and sighting it in.  Fingers crossed that with a dot the groups are tighter than with a peep.

 I created content for the GTA 
Plinked a bit with the 2240xl stubby and Twisted Sister stubby, still CO2 in them from summer LOL. Next up was check and see if the Crosman 3622 still had air and funcioned, amazingly it did.    Shot some paper with it and the flip-up sights, then when I flipped them flat, I discovered that I can use them that way also at point blank 
 Now on to the bigger toys I have been considering taking the THOR LT off the AEA Challenger .303, and putting it on my NemesisX, so I did, then tossed the scope H took off another gun a 6- 24x 50  REX on the AEA. Both are now sighted in and ready for action.

I got the 2A tube and installed the Hera stock on my 30 cal. And here's a pic of the m50 with a 10'' barrel and Great Kami that I robbed off the armada a couple days ago.

 Dove into my leaky Seals totally blown out FX DRS. I bet it got too hot in my truck last summer and it couldn't take the pressure, the inner barrel orings took the brunt of the pressure and let go. I ran out of sick day energy and will continue today.

This is an update from yesterday.  Took the front sight off the 362, superglued the moving head on the red dot since the lock tite didn't do the trick, put the red dot back on, and am ready for new pellets to arrive and test.  The 362 with the peep and front site removed and the 30mm red dot on top looks clean and good,  I like it.  Kind of reminds memof a sawed pff, red dotted shot gun but not quite.

Well I put it on hold ordered a oring set from UA along with the power plenum, I will most likely have to stuff it some to suit my needs.

Made a new rail under my new Uragan 2 so that I can mount a bipod at the front.

Mounted a BSA scope on the Umarex Embark and sighted it and now its ready to give to my great grand son who is 14 years old.  He's pumped up to get it.  Charles

Good to see

Hopefully the size is right for him.
I had a ruger explorer 15 years ago when I was a teenager , and the grip on these stocks is incredibly cramped.
My hands aren't that large and even I could barely use it.

Adjusted the trigger on the k98 to a cleaner break. Had the fear after my 460 woes (same platfrom as k98), but the k98 disconfirmed my fears [phew].  The 460 has a broken part where the linkage connects near a small spring. Might reach out to Hector or epoxy it back together.  Very pleased with the k98.  It's shooting ftt 4.52s at 881 today with a very tight ES.  That's less power than most look for in this platform, but its shooting very smoothly and quietly with this tune I've done and the tight ES tells me it's happy here.  So does the accuracy.  Sometimes it's 889 instead of 881, but I attribute that to the weather differences day to day.

I did some testing and a little tinkering with my mid 50's Crosman 147.
Accuracy wasn't great, and I was getting a lot of air in my face.

It turns out the screw linking the cover to the bolt was bent so I sorted that out,  and the " locking " surface on the bolt cover was heavily dinged in so it needed to be peened back.

After getting that sorted out accuracy improved greatly as expected,  the bore is great and I got very pronounced rifling grooves on the pellets so I knew that wasn't the problem.
After enough shooting the power and air intake per pump stroke also picked up.
It was taking a minimum of 4 pumps to set the striker before but now it's running on 3 like it should.

Next will be to deal with the stock finish after my aniline dye arrives.

I had a similar issue with the 50's crosman 120 I received last week: air in the face (and a loud noise to boot!).  Tightening the screw in the bolt significantly reduced the air in the face and report in the face. Still a loud pop, but not like when the screw was loose.  I tired putting a spare oring I had for the p1 on the probe to try and reduce the pop and maybe gain some fps, but it was just a little outsized for the job.

I sprinted home from work yesterday so I could grab the dog and head for the woods before dark.  I got in an hour of sitting at the squirrel spot and continuing Belle’s training.  She’s got the basic hand signals down now so we are going to start more complicated tasks.

Sounds like the cam surface on the rear plug may be worn.
I'd try putting a shim washer onto the bolt before the knob, that may push the bolt a little tighter in.

Thanks, David.
