What'cha doing air gun related today?

[MileHighAirGunner]

Yes, that's them! Thanks so much! JG won't ship small orders so Im not sure when I'll need enough other parts to make an order.
I was hoping to find something locally in the hardware store or whatever but these are a 6-40 thread so, not common.

Well that’s a bummer. I’ve never ordered from JG so wasn’t aware of any minimum orders.

I cleaned up the basement work bench and got the new Prod sighted in at 20 yards. Killed a few feral soda cans while I was at it.

should not be a big deal to shorten one a little work with a file bingo bango.

Slapped a scope on this girl and got to shooting quick and loose
Right now my glasses are very rose colored

1030 at night bb gun plinking session to start out my "Airgun Advent". 5m shootout, followed by knocking a can around with my 3 editions of daisy Red Ryder. "It starts with Daisy!" May your Airgun month be bright.

I made a removable adapter for my ProCrono to fit my BOG DeathGrip. Scrap wood and $4 hardware. Countersunk a nut and two drops of superglue on the threads to keep the bolt from getting lost.

Low 20's and breezy.
Took my unfired Daisy 901 apart to put some silicone into the bb channel under the firing pin. The silicone is the type that holds all glass fish tanks together so it willl be set up in 24 hours. Easy to remove if required..
I'm sure I wouldn't have any problems with it unmodified, but my boredom required me to something with my guns..

I'm not very good with letting the cold stop me... if anything shakiest gun due to cold helps me.

Today was day 3 of my airgun Advent. Pulled out the Model 111B and had fun from 7 yards. Sun was still making light at least this time, although it had just set.

Looking at a broken rifle that is 4 days old. Too loud in my yard for no silencer.

Day 4 of Airgun Advent is in the books. Crosman Diamondback getting it done today. 20 yard backyard plinking with the last 25 H&N Silverpoints I had. Another pellet can in the books.

Ouuff one of the VERY few pellets my .22 S510 hates....and I tried em at all the speeds! They make a zinging sound as the fly....a bit disconcerting (no they weren't traveling anywhere near 900fps). The 11.5gr .177 i found to be pretty decent out of my brothers Diana springer though.

None of my guns have been happy with them, I don't think more will intentionally arrive in my domicile.

This evening I asked ChatGPT to give me the best way to fill my new 4.7L tank. I told it I have a 9L tank currently at 230 liter and use a GX CS4. I was just going to equalize them then set them off on the CS4 individually.


STEP 1 – Use the 9L tank to partially fill the 4.7L tank (but only up to ~200 bar)

Transfer air from the 9L into the 4.7L, but stop when the 4.7L tank reaches about 200 bar. This will only drop the 9L tank from 230 bar down to roughly 215 bar.

Reasoning:

• You get free air into the 4.7L tank for the lower-pressure portion of the fill.
• You avoid dragging the 9L tank far below 200 bar, preserving its high-pressure utility.
• You avoid wasting a big portion of the 9L tank’s stored energy.

STEP 2 – Use the GX CS4 to fill the 4.7L tank from ~200 bar to 310 bar

Since the 4.7L tank is already past the difficult low-pressure phase, this stage is relatively fast and easy for the compressor.


STEP 3 – Use the now-full 4.7L tank (310 bar) to boost the 9L tank

After the 4.7L tank reaches 310 bar, connect it to the 9L tank and open both valves.

The two tanks will equalize at approximately 246 bar.
• The 9L tank rises from about 215 bar to around 246 bar.
• The 4.7L tank drops from 310 bar to around 246 bar.

This step gives you additional free pressure in the 9L tank before involving the compressor again.

STEP 4 – Use the GX CS4 to top off both tanks to 310 bar

Now run the compressor and fill the 9L tank from ~246 bar to 310 bar, and then fill the 4.7L tank from ~246 bar to 310 bar.

This final stage takes much less time because both tanks start at a relatively high pressure.

Why this method is optimal

1. It avoids equalizing a high-pressure large tank with an empty one, which wastes a huge amount of stored air.
2. It lets the large 9L tank do the easy, low-pressure portion of the fill where it is most efficient.
3. It lets the compressor do only the high-pressure top-offs, reducing run time, heat, and wear.
4. It uses the smaller 4.7L tank as a temporary “pressure booster” to recover more pressure into the 9L tank before the compressor finishes the job.

Seems logical

Well in the midst of all the rain and snow across the country, it found its way here. I didn't see any of the snow, it stayed in the northern part of my metro, but the 38*F rain kept me "indoors". So I took the Marlin Lever Action out to my gazebo and let loose on a can of Dr. P for day 5 of Airgun Advent. I was surprised at how fast I broke on through to the other side. Also, my initial 3 shot group was small enough to fit under a dime with plenty of change to spare. All shot at "6 or 7 paces" away. Quick and satisfying afternoon session.

That's using your thinking cap brother!

The RAW is all packaged for return. After waffling, in the end it is not the rifle I ordered according to the description. I wanted the polygonal barrel. Combined with the other issues, I think I’m better off spending my money or just saving it. Nothing else has my interest.
