The lower end of the lawyer spring holds the safety pin in - after you put action back into stock - use a small screwdriver and pull lawyer spring back and slide safety pin in.

Maybe why gun won't fire - it will not fire without safety pin in place ( lawyer spring will not work )

It wasn't firing before I moved the end of the lawyer spring to remove the safety pin.

It may fire without the safety in but it may not cock without the tension of the lawyer spring setting the sear in the hammer.

Jacob, I'll do a teardown on my gun and show you the parts, locations and what I did to get a very nice trigger feel.

BUT, it seems that something is off... I have to ask this question all of the time, it's part of my profession and it's met with belligerence, anger, disbelief, violence, tears, resignation and often, complete denial.

What have you done to bring you to this place?

The steel breeches are mass produced, we can remove that from the equation due to commonality. Same with the gun itself, if there was a mass production issue, we would have all seen it.

Occam's razor, paraphrased as, "the simplest explanation is usually the best one" or in this case, what happened that your not telling us?

Please forgive my audacious locution but something smells in denmark.

Never been to Denmark but if the statement read "something smells in Texas" I could probably tell you what it is...

If one ever gets into a pinch where the valve is charged, and the hammer will not latch,, point it in a safe direction and pull the bolt back and let it snap forward, that should release all the air, do it 2 times, just to make sure. one should be able to push the valve stem in freely with some force if it is empty.

Woke up early enough this morning to go down to the mancave and swap into the 21" .177 barrel. All done except for setting up the rear peep sight.
I also took a picture of the mysterious green spacer and I'll upload that out of my phone when I get to work. I guess I missed the trash can with it because it was laying on the work bench...

I can't believe others can't find it, mine don't seem to want to go away... lol

The 'booger'..

avator · « **Reply #250 on:** February 02, 2022, 10:02:46 AM »

You can see where the long rear screw damaged it. The missing trash was floating around in the spring and had to be cleaned out.

One thing I did notice this morning...
Remember, I knocked the knob out of the original .22 bolt and tapped it for a threaded bolt.
I used that original bolt in the .177 setup this morning. It made a really nice seal against that .177 barrel.
I only had time to pump and dry fire a couple times but I couldn't detect any leak around the bolt or breech.
Maybe things will be different when I start testing actual pellets in the gun.
The Magnum bolts have not arrived yet. I ordered them in .22 but I bet they will work the same in the .177.... we'll see.

Had a few minutes to gets some pics at lunch today....

That peep is temporary until the new on arrives. The hole in that one is drilled out to big. It's for a pistol. The new, unmodified one will have the hole about the size of the stock 362 peep.

Sorry about the dark pics... the mancave is actually our bar and a bar is supposed to be dark, and smelly, and.... well, the ones I grew up in were...

The rear sight is in the cross dovetail groove on the steel breech.
Here is a better pic...

avator · « **Reply #257 on:** February 02, 2022, 04:25:51 PM »

Here is the overall gun... I think it is the perfect size and weight for a utility pumper.
It really is a throw back to what we had as kids and what brought us to this forum.... at least for me it is.
I can see this strapped across the handlebars of my fat tire Huffy bike from way back then.... peddling down the country dirt road to meet up with my buddies and head for the gravel pit, railroad tracks, the creek and the abandoned saw mill back in the woods.
Click on the pic and it will magically flip over

Those are great memories of the good-old-days. I have many.
You enablers caused me to order one.

Keep it simple Bob and enjoy it.
I'll be leaving one in .22 with only the steel breech, Baker trigger and a scope. The other will be the 21" .177 barrel, steel breech, Baker trigger and peeps with a red dot option.
Both have all the power needed to do what I want without any power mods and both will run common OTC pellets.

Thank you to our advertisers!
