R-7 in for repairs-HW 30 coming!

[deathray]

    Will be sending R-7 in for a check up 7.87 pellets were at 470 av. month later down to 400 something going on? Ordered a HW 30 should be here by Feb. can't wait love shooting open sights! Have a gun cabinet full of 22s haven't fired any for about a month till this week end, took out my Kimber 82g. These air rifles are addictive. Are there any good air gun books out there on maintenance and repairs for rookies I have a cousin who is a fair gunsmith done some rebarreling and stock work so we have some knowledge. would like to be able to replace springs or put in tuning kits, seals and what ever we would need to keep these guns running at there peak. Thanks

Put a Williams peep on that 30.   I work all my airguns and powder burners...just google what you want to do.   Plenty of great pictorial tutorials.

If you got the diopter sight kit with your 82g put those sights on your R7. My HW35 is wearing the Kimber sight set and is a lot of fun.
