New Seneca Dragonfly?

[splitbeing]

Although 1 pump isn't recommended by the manufacturer, mine does well with daisy lead free wadcutters on 1 pump at 12 yds. 

Tested a whole bunch of pellets on various numbers of pumps but concentrated most on 1 and 2 pumps. On 1 the daisy lead free were most accurate and on two pumps the spitzkugels tied the daisies.

Recently I tested the ftt greens and they produce enough power to flip my steel bison gallery reset target at 17 yds on 2 pumps. With the Daisy lead frees, I need 3 pumps to get enough power for that at that distance.

Here's the detailed thread with photos on page 4 of clipped pellets.

What fix do you recommend? (Even if beyond my present capabilities, interested to know!)

It's beyond my ability as well. I think people use a tool, some kind of reamer, to fix that.

 Here is a good basic how to, simple jewelers files can be used in many cases.

I'm interested in hearing more about these, as they've been shipped.  Mine came yesterday, 6/18/22 and is defective with a terrible pump.  It is back in the shipping box, ready to return to P/A.  Is everyone else's Dragonfly MKII a dream come true?

 So far just gave mine 1 pump and a dry fire, the pump and linkage is snug, but as I found with the DF1 it will ease up with use. It is defiantly 1/2 the effort of the DF1, and comparable to the Crosman 362 for pumping effort.
 I will get outside with it and a crony this afternoon, and put it through the paces.

 OK I think this may be important !
I was about 30 shots into digging this gun, and then the trigger would not trip the sear, I was able to trip it with the gun pointed into a trap, by pushing in the sear behind the trigger in with a small screwdriver, and the gun discharged.
 I will pull mine apart and find out what happened in the trigger mix to cause this, later today if I am still sorta sober

 I thought I heard of this happening before, yeah shot my Prod yesterday and did not look into the trigger will do tonight.
 Thanks for the link

I would have HOPED that AV would have corrected this issue by now.............

[Back_Roads]

 Judging from the serial # my gun may have been already made by the time Tom discovered this issue.

Just wanted to say that I really appreciate you guys testing these waters for alligators before I go swimming...

   There is hardly anything I hate worse than buying something that doesn't work !

Ditto... especially a Gen 2.

There needs to be a hole drilled thru the trigger blade at the top in line with that set screw, and the screw turned around
to permit adjustment without disassembly..........

Had to adjust the set screw on mine also.

Polished everything up while I was in there, it helped some but this gun is a prime candidate for an aftermarket trigger lol.

Also the pins have splined heads and have to be driven out, no need to stake them.

.177  8.4gr

3 pumps 579 fps
6 pumps 696 fps
9 pumps 747 fps
12 pumps 775 fps
15 pumps 799 fps

SD and ES stayed in single digits so long as pumps were methodical and deliberate.

Accuracy seems reasonable so far, 6 pumps at 25 yds was holding around 1". 

[Back_Roads]

 YEAH I was liking the accuracy decided it was scope time, just when I got the scope dialed in no pew pew 
Rough day at the office so no tinker energy to do the fix yet.

The cross pin that limits travel is in the way.
