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

Thanks for the link! Very clear and thorough.

 OK had to dig this thread up, been awhile, can not remember what pellets I was shooting when I scoped  the rifle, so will have to start over LOL
 Went under the hood of my DF MK2 was a simple leisurely 10 minute job, including running to basement a few times for tools. I only had to remove the gun from the stock, tap out the rear trigger pin, that allowed the trigger to be lifted forward to expose the culprit screw, was able to get it out and add a drop of vibra-tite to the screw and turn it in with about 1/3 of the threads showing on the underside of the trigger cycled the action a few times and was happy with the  feel so put it back into the stock and off to do some pumpin n shootin.

Here we go! Let us know how it goes!

 I shot my Dragonfly2 (.22) maybe 100 pellets so far. Open sights got me 1 1/4" groups @20yards with CP Domes(bad eyes). I put a red dot on and got the groups down to an inch, but the next day, I couldn't hit the same targets either! (I too noticed the threaded barrel-end was loose & tightened it-so there might be something going on there.) No trigger issues-so far.
I since have mounted a Hatsan scope and can get groups under an inch @ 20yds with my shakey lawn chair/towel rest.
I started at 8 pumps, but was destroying my backstop-I decreased the pumps to 7-6-5-4-no loss in accuracy until I went down to 3 pumps. This was all at 20yds. I now stop at 4 or 5 pumps. I've never even pumped past 8 since im only shooting in my back yard.
The pump was noisy and stiff initially, buy has smoothed & quieted down 50%.
So far, Im really enjoying shooting this rifle. The magazine works great, but is a little quirky to load. I ordered a different style magazine from Canada off Ebay (same as Diana Stormrider).

My only complaint is that the bolt requires quite a bit of effort to pull back.

 That is a fact, about the muzzle thread protector loosening up from pumping, and it does affect accuracy, I had to tighten it up a couple times, a wrap of teflon tape, or a dab of vibra-tite will solve that. I put a Rocker LDC on and did not have any issues with it working loose yet.

 Here is a good video on the tips I found to getting the most from this system.

Yep mine too, POI shifting as it unscrewed changing the barrel harmonics. I put a little oring between the barrel/adapter and the adapter/thread protector. Just enough friction to keep it from unscrewing.

I was thinking the same thing.
Ok, I have to be honest here.
I was very blasy blah on this gun some months ago.
Pre orders are not my thing. Then I did the "15 pumps to get the same power I can get from 8 ?" thing.
I recently filled my niche for gas ram guns with the addition of the Ruger Yukon in .22. Still not ready to go down through the PCP arsenal again, I looked at my pumpers.
Do I have room for another pumper? LOL..I always have room for another pumper... I started this swaray with pumpers. I have many pumpers.
Wanna know what pushed me to put one in the cart this morning?
CARM mags.   Yep, strange as it may seem, the fact that I have 2 .177 CARM mags was the deciding factor.
Ok so, that's not the only thing....
I am a bonifide, card carrying fan of SPA guns. IMO they are the new 'lego' guns. And I have several in house to tinker til the cows come home.
But wait, there's more....
Tim Allen must have been an air gunner. Remember? He's the guy that coined the phrase "more power".
Many air gunners in this, and other, forums seem to have the same juices running through them... been there, done that, got the tanks and compressors to proove it.
Bill, where are you going with all this dribble?...
One question comes to mind...
How many of you pumper fans pump the max strokes per shot? I certainly don't...
In a .22 I may put 6. In a .177 it's 4 or 5 to achive satisfaction at my disired range.
Hence a .177...
I'm thinking 7 easy peasy strokes and a 10.5 pellet should hit the 35 to 40yd mark pretty accurately and consistently.
Besides... Betty Lou said yes, you can have one.... 

[longhunter]

Come clean, Billy Boy. The ONLY reason you got one, was Betty Lou said you could.

She's gonna claim/keep it anyways. Just go ahead and buy two now so you have one to shoot.

[19Sheridan57]

   The only time I pump for full power is for testing after repairs, or just before selling a rifle. On all my Sheridans , I use 3 pumps for plinking, 5 for small game , & up to 8 , the maximum , for larger game or longer distance shooting.

[avator]

Ha Ha. you guys are probably right.

No, she wants a new kitchen pan set.
Heck, that's a win win for me.

[Back_Roads]

 SWMBO has been eying that Gotham hammered copper cookware set, I may just get that for her since she is not that all into airguns

[avator]

Betty Lou opted for the Granite Stone 20 piece set. We ordered it.
She's already had bits and pieces of the copper set.

 Waiting on your results, I bet in .177 it will be a nice flat shooter.
