Looks to be a nice thin blade front sight. I always appreciated old M1 and spinfield 1903's for the finely "sharpened" blade. While you could cut yourself on it, if you make a protector over the tip, it solves that problem. That fine sharp edge does give you a super fine aiming point with irons. (y)

In my past line of work I always remebered this "you need to be better on your worst day than the guy your up against on his best." Of course, that dealt with gunfighting, and not target shooting. But ultimately, I always felt that even on your worst practice days, your figuring out how to...

I recently refurbished an old thrown away crossman 1000. It had more than 10 BB rusted in the barrel. After quite a lot of elbow grease, a few rebuilt parts, new front sight and some rattle cans, I brought it back to life.Old broken condition. New and improved

That is some fine off-hand work there FL22. It doesnt get much better than that. Anytime you can hit a quarter sized group iron sights with a little brace is on point. No squirrel stands a chance.....

Amen.

I had a 91 GT Red with nitrous. Man I was a stupid kid...lol

Yes and true. While it is a budget gun, I am very impressed with its accuracy. I am going to shoot it as is for a while after i get some legs for it. I also have an inexpensive folder coming, so I may upgrade the pistol grip. Nothing really wrong with it as it is, but it needs a cheek riser. Im...

gotcha !At some point i may get the plenum kit. I would like to get a decent side mounted gauge to look at vs the front.

perfect ! i will try these

An old slogan I learned when I was in Afghanistan. "Take the laziest person in the world and give him the hardest job to do, and he will find the easist way to do it."

100% I am about to drop serious coin on foster fittings. About 150 bucks. If Im gonna do it, Im doing it right. I certainly dont want a busted fitting cause damage to either the gun or compressor. I trusted the HAM editor review on this site for advice on what to use since theres no standard

Absolutley. I trust real users and reviews over company guidelines. They just want your allegiance (and money). I prefer to test and evaluate the best available and not what a company owns. Even Umarex cleaning kits are pretty genaric. The mainstream airgunners use what works. Youd think...

I will check around on that. Thanks ! Its a small tube, so unsure if there is a degasser valve available maybe? It has a removable valve to air it. Youd think they have something to slowly release it, unless it wasnt meant to come out that way

Awesome ! Thanks again ! I am going to do some more today i think, if I can take the heat.

Really good idea ! Make your own on whatever you have available is clever.

How often should it be degassed? In your opinion. And I assume its just fire it until empty. I dont see any other way.

Thank you sir ! The trigger is a little heavy, but Im getting used to it. Feels like a 5lb pull at least, but maybe im just out of practice. i will put a meter on it to see what its averaging. By the looks of it seen in videos taken apart, its not that complicated. Maybe some polishing and...

Exactly. All your accuracy comes from the barrel no matter what kind of system. Unless its a smoothbore, you have to keep it clean for proper spin.

Thanks !! Will do sir !

Hey if its stupid but works, its not stupid right? I actually love that idea of making your own black dots. Shoot n sees are way too much. Printer ink is way too expensive as well.
