Happy birthday Scott! That was a great gag gift from a great lady.My new toys that came in today.
Ordered a .22 caliber change kit for my .177 Crown. It's supposed to be the super light version and have the superior barrel liner. Got it from PA for $299 which I couldn't pass up. Seems to have saved me $100 on the kit and another $110 or so to upgrade to the superior liner from the standard stx barrel that used to come with the kits. I also remembered to order a mag to go with it. Eventually I'll order another Donny FL moderator so this barrel can have it's own & I don't have to swap moderators every time I change calibers.Paul
5-25X56 FFP?DANG!!!!

Put it together & took 5 shots into the lower field from my bathroom window just to check for proper function. The gun, new caliber change kit & mag all functioned correctly. Next thing to do is tune & sight it in, maybe tomorrow.Paul
Key to good pellet skirt fill out is keeping the pins and mold up to temp, and finding the right lead temp for the ambient temp where you are casting. IMO I am tempted to buy another DAR, though I have only had time to run one test mag through my .177 so far and Whitetail season starts tomorrow 7am sharp, sit till I shoot.
