Yeah, I knew I was taking a gamble on this particular one. You could see in the pictures AOA posted that it had definitely been well used. They didn’t try to hide it. They also tested it, sent me their shot readings, and it was holding air when I received it. But with it having all the barrels...
Mine loves the High Arc Hunter 365grn. Still haven’t hunted with it, but it’s hands down a huge improvement over my original Bushbuck. For me, if nothing else for the safety. The bolt is a beast on these and readying one under pressure quietly is not something I’d want to risk. I’d much rather...
Less than zero. Probably just going to have to order the whole assembly. I never in a million years would have expected this to cause this many problems. I just thought I’d back it out and put in a new one with the proper tools to get it back the way it needed.
Update…..
I had a great idea! I disassembled the tube and separated the front plug assembly. Sprayed penetrating lubricant on the brass fitting and allowed it time to soak in…. Then, I took a very small drill bit and drilled in on either side of the center hole for the valve. This made a new...
Yeah. That’s what I thought too about the swelling. I watched one of EdGun West’s videos where he was repairing the valve on one and he briefly mentioned the brass cup and removing it with a screwdriver and heat. That’s why I was trying it thinking there might be thread locker or something. At...
I’m at a loss what to do. I looked at the 3/8” and could tell they were too thick. So, I ordered in the 9.5mm bit it needs. Still nothing. Got out my Milwaukee soldering iron to apply direct heat to loosen. Still nothing. Swapped to my A2 sight tool so I could get 4 points…. Broke 2 points...
Agreed.
Trying to get that forward plug out now. It’s in there good. I have to go this afternoon to get a new screwdriver. I have a 5/16 slotted, but that’s still not quite wide enough to fully engage. I believe I actually need a 9.5mm. I’m going to try to pick up a 3/8” and apply some heat to...
Couldn’t agree more. I just can’t get with the plastic printed stuff. Hobbiest or otherwise.
Let me clarify, Mad respect to the at home hobbiests that are printing amazingly complex and effective upgrades for their stuff, it’s very impressive and works. I’m not good enough with computers to...
