Here's the set up I mentioned before, sleeving the Bobcat to prevent erosion of the pin slot and striker's hole. Reamed the receiver and inset a turned stock CO2 tube (decent steel). 24 hours til the epoxy sets, then slots and holes, then... she's outa here!Compared to the painted aluminum, this thing is slick as snot. Customer is getting, as he put it, the "Slickery Kit"... slip coated striker and bolt handle. Should be very consistent, and last forever.They say "The Devil's in the details". I've found accuracy lurks there, too.
Dude!! The only way that's not creepy is if this is your gun!Now, are you going to tell everyone, or shall I?C'mon, say it with me... " Hi, I'm Mike, and I'm a custom airgun addict."
My pleasure! It worked out nicely. Those tubes are typically a bit small on the OD, but the ID is exact. The transition is practically seamless.Glad you feel better now... You are gonna get along just fine around here. Bet on it.
It applies to both. Mike was getting some chewing on another gun, so we worked this out... but any 60 will be more accurate as you reduce the variances in striker speed. Another positive effect is ridding the gun of the gritty feel as you cock it. Whether or not the galling will ever affect the gun's abilities, I can't stand the feel of steel chewing aluminum. It sets off alarms in the minds of anyone who works with metal. In race motors, it's the feeling of impending destruction.
A day later...
Let's see if we can keep that going for a while... It's "shop safe", but smoothing it is up to you. If I may suggest? Polish the heck out of the liner. The striker will imbed Teflon into the micro pores, and it will speed things up even more if you do.I was making 10-15' sections of blue razor wire turning the OD. Good steel, and it will take a mirror polish if you want one. You don't need to get extreme, but a nice shine will have an effect you will feel right off.I really like the results of your blaster on your .25. Nice and fluffy, but it retained crisp edges. Perfect for any coating I've played with.This is gonna be a sweet little rifle.
I'm very interested in working my way to a .25 FD PCP repeater. It would be good to see a noob-friendly summary.
You're the Bell of the Ball (in a Manly way of course)..
Yeah, like the whatzit slides into the gizmo, and I polished the whatchamacallit so now it's smooth as a baby's butt, oh and I took the goesinta and cut it down so the goesonta fits. There, now that's what I call noob friendly!

I spent the rent on this gown and these cursed heels! I can't return the dress, it's covered in cutting oil and chips. Maybe the shoes will clean up enough...Quote from: silent_airman on April 21, 2014, 06:05:28 PMYeah, like the whatzit slides into the gizmo, and I polished the whatchamacallit so now it's smooth as a baby's butt, oh and I took the goesinta and cut it down so the goesonta fits. There, now that's what I call noob friendly! Well put! That would have taken me 3 paragraphs to say. May I quote you on my site?I'm not sure how much a flow thru bolt will speed things up, but Mike will find out for us.
Have him contact mine directly at: goodluckwiththat@biteme.com.I'm sure they'll work something out...
