I kill jumbo cockroaches with a Daisy 105, but never tried it with a pumper.I do it at night in the summer and like the quietest gun possible.

Now, is this with the "short" finishing nail probe or has any of that been changed?I used a 3/32 rivet and have a probe length of about .285. It shuts off the BB port but it actually makes loading easier as the thin probe is used as a guide. Loading lead balls is very, very fast also.Will chronicle lead balls and report back after I do testing at work tomorrow.I will decide on what velocity I will use for the lead ball based on a ~ 15 yard range.We will see tomorrow !wllMy mistake- I forgot you said you already lengthened the probe by 0.085".

That's good to know. I'm lucky to have a really good Ace in my little town, been owned forever by the same family. The people that work there actually do help most times when you ask them something- imagine that! They even have taps to go with the odd thread count firearm fasteners. Wll, if you measure the spring OD, free length, wire diameter and coil count you can use an online spring calculator to plug the numbers into to get the spring rate. General rules of thumb for springs: a smaller OD, less coils and larger wire diameter all (individually or collectively) gives a stronger rate/ stiffer spring.
