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.

I think that I will stick with a metal breech with upgrades peep sights, like you and Wayne did.
I have found that with my aging eyesight I get a good sight picture with a small peep aperture.

Yeah, peeps do it for me as well. It also gives me more side to side view to pan and scan. I can open both eyes and locate the target, then close the one eye and zero in on it with the peep. The front sight is just out of focus but the target is clear. That fiber optics front sight makes it easier to see.

Avator, what front fiber optic sight are you using?

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

Sorry, the front sight adapter, what type and make is it :-)

Thank you,

It's the stock Discovery muzzle break. It's temporary until I decide what I'll hang out there...

I want to keep it short so a TKO won't do for me. I'm still digging through my spares to find something better.
These things take time....

Bill I haven't even bothered putting on my TKO because these guns really aren't that loud IMO. I just got done uploading another video with 20 shots to four bullseye's. Also just cleaned up the Hunter mold because I used up most all of my Hunters for .22 and they do shoot good out of this pumper. I did get one bad flyer but no biggy . . . . good enough for me

Wayne52 · « **Reply #266 on:** February 03, 2022, 08:24:16 AM »

I've got the lead and mold warming up right now

avator · « **Reply #267 on:** February 03, 2022, 08:25:26 AM »

LOL.... Wayne, looks like you're really enjoying these low end pumpers... it's refreshing.
I just love cheap guns that shoot cheap ammo well.

Wayne52 · « **Reply #268 on:** February 03, 2022, 08:28:22 AM »

I figured I'd do some casting today, the hunters won't be the only thing that I'll be casting, I promised some 218 slugs to someone, we're doing a nice swap, his custom cleaning kit for some slugs and pellets.

Realized I didn't have a .177 cleaning kit so I ordered this little kit this morning...

I just got an e-mail that FedEx will deliver it tomorrow.

That Disco muzzle brake sits the front sight too high for my peep setup. Since I chopped this barrel I no longer have the bevel front sight alignment. So I took a drill bit and cleared the alignment tab out of the factory front sight and tapped it back on the barrel. I had to raise the peep adjustment all the way up to get on the bull at 9yds. inside the mancave. After a bit of tweaking I'm getting good accuracy results.
More after breakfast.

avator · « **Reply #272 on:** February 04, 2022, 12:04:55 PM »

I can flip that peep down and put the scope on the gun. This 21" .177 barrel is really accurate.
We're having fun now !!

LOL.... sitting here in the mancave with the side door open waiting for FedEx so I can stop them before they pull that truck in the yard and make a mess.
Boss is hanging out with me and she is standing in the doorway looking out. We are surrounded by water due to the massive amounts of rain last night.
Pretty sure if someone drives by we would look like Noah's Ark.
... and no, we don't need or want them two by two..

Could someone please send an olive branch?

Insanity · « **Reply #274 on:** February 04, 2022, 01:58:16 PM »

You have already started the 2x2 lol boss and rambo...

avator · « **Reply #275 on:** February 04, 2022, 02:02:22 PM »

Rambo aka Nancy Boy is in the house. He don't want to ruin his nail polish....

Ok, the rain has stopped and the sun is trying to peek out... I even heard a bird chirp.

Thanks to whoever did that.

Well, it seems the FedEx driver is into airguns.... he is now anyways.... lol
I met him at the gate and he said he noticed I came out of this old building and said he knew some of the history of this place from back in the day. I invited him in and he was amazed... we spent the next 20 minutes or so taking about airguns. He said he didn't know they made much more that a Daisy 880.
Nice kid, I invited him back sometime for a cold drink and some shooting.
Yes Sir, my work here is done.

You seem to be off on another tangent at the moment. I found the elusive green booger you're talking about. It's intact. I think I need to wrap some sandpaper around a dowel rod and sand out the pump tube a little bit where the hammer is.

LOL.... if you read my threads you'll know I do that quite often.
I usually end up back on topic.

I spent the morning shooting at just under 10 yds inside the mancave.
When we took over this place I found 3 of the steel tip dart boards.
I hung on up inside the mancave and I staple paper targets to it.
I have yet to have a pellet pass though it.
I'll get back out there tomorrow and post some targets.
This thing is shooting really good with the 21" .177 barrel.

I wish I was shooting. My 362 is back to being in pieces again. I'm starting to understand why people are buying 2 and even 3 or more of these things. It's so they have something to shoot while they're working on the other one.

My gut is acting up on me. Likely my pancreas. Lab where I got tested is closed due to weather. Won't be open until Monday. Pepto Bismol will have to do me until then.
