Beeman 0035

[Methuselah]

Bought a locking 12" bit extender and hex drive end brush with 240 grit impregnated.

QUESTION, use it wet or dry, water, soapy water, alcohol, or what? I've got an air compressor so can blow it dry after...

 I would go at it using a light oil and see how much is removed. if more aggression is needed Fitz polish may be an option.

New seal, turned out not to need the spring, which was exactly the same length as the ones Thomas in SC (@tjk) graciously sent me --- THANK YOU AGAIN THOMAS!

First shot to see it work, 2nd pointed down rest more or less slightly tipped downward. It's tricky holding the cheapo chrono on the front sight, I think the 503 was held cockeyed...

520.2
537.3
539.2
532.7
536.4
540.6
533.2
542.5
503.3
541.1

Hopefully I'll set out a target tomorrow. This was my first springer reseal. Used ARH moly and tar, polished spring ends and washer up to 1000 grit (highest I had lying around).

Wish I thought to take some pics...

Glad you liked the way I do it.
I wouldn't use the abrasive. You don't need it. Run it dry, it will brush right out. I'm familiar with the Norica seals. Waxy bubble gum just like old FWB seals. Save the abrasive for when you're done and hone the cylinder if that's your thing. I just wouldn't let the abrasive brush hang out at the bottom while you're cleaning out the goop in the crevice. You don't want to risk abrading a taper there.
Wash it out when you're done with whatever you think. I use mineral spirits a lot. Followed by compressed air. Then maybe a quick blast of brake clean blown out. No residue should remain after that.

Wish I read your postings yesterday,  however you're off the mark a hair on the abrasive, that end brush has it embedded.

I got all I could whilst dry then blew it out and used a torn piece of t-shirt (pushed out through transfer port. I'm pretty sure it left smaller residue in the weld.

Here's today's numbers using crosman premium domed 10.5 boxed, seated using a pen (they go in about 1/8"):

436.2
429.0
440.9
437.8

431.4
439.6

The groups were unacceptable with these, and I'm not sure the only pellet it liked before the seal went will still group.

It did have a scope before, so maybe I should try again like that.

"Groups"

[Methuselah]

With a scope it was about 4" low at 7 or 8 yards, removed scope. I think that's too much for shimming, so probably need to figure out which scope/rings I used last time or get me a drooper mount. It did kinda group, but it wasn't the most stable of perches and I wasn't half trying --- I'll reserve that for the proper setup first.

Norica is still around.  If you aren't far enough in the weeds yet, you could see if they have a gas ram for it;

[Methuselah]

Third time was the charm, it's on crooked but it was close enough to zero.

Haven't had the chance to shoot targets but it's nailing my little plastic bottles gallery stuff at 25 yards, so I'm thinking success.

Also fixed or worked 2 or 3 others...

I'll have to get some targets posted when I come full circle. Scope is proof of life stuff, goal is going to be iron sights.

Edit: oops. Yeah, um, gas ram ... I'm a cheapskate, if it's working I'm unlikely to fix it. Interesting to learn it can be done to this one though.

I have one in .177 mines a Marksman 0035. These are made in Spain and sold as a Norica Krono

The Beeman/Marksman 0035 rifles were made by Norica. Neat low-med powered springers. The triggers didn’t do the rest of the rifle justice. The stocks weren’t the best, but they shoulder real easy. To disassemble, you will need a long fingered block to bypass the trigger group with a spring compressor
