PART 1
While waiting for the required tools and grease I read lots of post and watched many vids to educate myself. I was feeling confident and began the reg adjusting a couple days ago.
Encountered no problems getting each piece to screw apart, that was a relief and one of my worries. Each part was cleaned with alcohol and wiped with a microfiber towel. CTSHOOTER had suggested that 90 degrees CW would be about right for the reduction from 2200 psi to 1900 psi, and he was dead on. Then the areas that needed the grease was applied and assembled, all went smooth. The air cylinder was filled and let set for a few hours and no leaks was detected so I headed to the my bench and began shooting JTS 22.07 ammo thru the chrony. After many HS adjustments The number I liked was reached. I settled, for now, a 945fps setting that had an ES of 4 and SD of 1.7. I am happy so far and patting myself on the back. Dairy boy was very helpful in this area.
I fit the chassis in the stock and find that I was off alignment with the front screw hole by a tiny amount and the screw would not start.
PART 2
No problem, I know what I am doing. I dissemble a second time and get the hole lined up and put BETH back together. Keep in mind that I barley had to turn the gage block so no need to worry about what was about to happen. Began to fill air cylinder and air was leaking out of between the cylinder and the gage block, only place I heard or felt air escaping. Now I am worried if somehow the O-ring part number c-025-0122-00 has someway came off or failed..
Your thoughts on what would be the problem will be appreciated.
I set BETH aside to give it some thought and will take her apart again sometime today.
Things I want to share that may be helpful to others:
Be dang sure you degas the gun completely. If there is the least bit of pressure the parts will be very hard to unscrew, if at all.
Make a pencil mark on the front of the rail and another on the gage block to help get it right the first time.
When you remove the chassis look for the small black spacer that fits between the two safety arms, it will fall out and you may be hunting a long long time before finding it, TRUST ME HERE.
I have watched many vids on adjusting the hammer spring. Only Toms vid mentioned the nylon grub screw that contacts the adjuster. Sure, you can turn the adjuster without bothering to loosen it, but it is there for a reason.
I hope that BETH gets well soon, I would much rather shoot than work on my baby.
Love you guys and thanks for all your post.
Any ideas what I need to look for that is causing the leak, I would be grateful to hear your thoughts
