AirHawk barrel is loose

[TooJung2Die]

I haven't put mine back together but JB weld will be the "stuff" of choice.    Rebuilding that barrel will be a winter project.     Mine is serial number 000152783.   What's your serial number.  It would be interesting to determine if the factory in China stopped knurling them or started knurling them at some point.

Looks like they decided to speed up production after your Air Hawk was made. JB Weld is the right stuff in the right application. This barrel is not coming loose again. I used JB to fill a rock hole in a dirt bike crankcase. Rode that bike for years and it never leaked a drop of oil. The color matched the aluminum too. I'll have to polish up the ends of the barrel pin and cold blue it so it isn't as noticeable. I'll see if I can get some shots out of it tomorrow.

It's fixed. The accuracy is back. It's hitting the teaspoon spinners again at 25 yards every time. It is no Diana 34 but if you like fixing air rifles the Air Hawk and its variants can be made into good shooters for under $100.

Good fix Jon.   Well done.

I was hoping you be telling us you're popping paper wasps at 40 paces with your new fix.  JK.  Glad it works.  I really like my Ruger Black-Chicken.  It was a steal at 60 bucks.  This is the first a AG that has optics costing more than the gun.  The Walmart CP 4-16 x 40 AO for $75.  Suppose I can use this same proportional pricing when the LGU comes home to pappa and I tell mrs 56s I need a grand for optics?
