Spent a while with the Urban, tightening the tune. I am glad I did not sell this gun. It is a great gun. I do not have another pistol stock in my regular rotation.
After the sling malfunction way back when, I figured I'd put a quality tangfolio on it, whose accents fit the bronze and metal of the fill port sans dust cover avec fill probe. The blacking out I did back when still looks great.
After much testing and tweeking with CPHPs, I landed on the following fill, spread, and energy. The fill is 2000 down to 800 psi. The shot count is 60+ shots within an ES of 40, which amounts to six magazines reliably per fill. The range is 650s to 680s over those shots, averaging to a 14 fpe tune.
The CPHPs did very well and I have lots of them, i put the Urban away back when because I was getting too many fliers with the CPHPs. Turns out it was a bad tin. As soon as I finished those early in this set up, the number of fliers went way down. There are still fliers and sometimes they go a couple inches off! But there were enough easy dime and now and then small button size 10 shot groups (sometimes with a flier) to open the door to my greater mission: shooting all these CPHPs!

Long time no see Scrambler82. I had stuff scattered everywhere in the gun room so I picked all that up and then I decided to swap cases between the m50 pistol carbine and my hp max 45.

I'll be adding 3/4" risers to my Scope Mounts.
I have a few months old FX Dynamic Express with the rear bottle.
Not a problem, bottle in the rear, except for one, using the UTG High Risers for the Scope Mounting doesn't allow me a quick sight in. I need to press my cheek almost into the tank before getting a full view through the scope. I purchased the 3/4" UTG Extended Risers and will see how they work out.
Hopefully all will be tight, no wobbles, and I gat get a full view without a lot of moving around.

Got the 1968 HW 35 fixed up and shooting. Replaced broken trigger box pin, sear bushing and breech seal. Old breech seal was leather, new one is urethane or similar plastic. Piston seal was leather but just cleaned it up and treated it with neats foot oil. The breech seal was rotted and crumbling. The piston seal seemed to be in pretty good shape. Reassembling the record trigger was not much fun but eventually, after a lot of fiddling around, I got it done using a couple rubber bands to hold things in place. I still think the stock could look better. I only cleaned it with some Formbys antique furniture cleaner. I don't plan to refinish the stock, I like some patina. Probably will mount a scope tomorrow. It only dieseled a few times before settling down.

Finished up on rebuilding an old dDaisy Mod. 25 and gave it a test run 50 rounds later it seems to be back to normal.
I then rewarded myself by installing a scope mount and a nice 1" tube dot sight on my Crosman 100, and sighted it in and ran a few different pump #'s over the Crony. seems to be a small ragged hole developing in one place on the target the dot covers so all good, better than I was doing with the dish sight.
