What'cha doing air gun related today?

[Florida_Man]

Six mags so far with the Atomic. Too windy to take anything serious today. thunderstorms have been moving through all day.

 

[Hateful McNasty]

Had a ooops that hampered some shooting time .

Got the pto shaft of the brushhog , looks like shear pin failure ..lol


Cleaned that up refitted the tube, welded, and back in business..


Then layed in to a painted pringles lid at 50y r9 on irons cphp .177


Of course as usual that one again ..

Them oughta hit the bull..

How long do you think you tumble them for?

 

[Hateful McNasty]

How long do you think you tumble them for?

Man ...ijdk .. I just go shaking them back and forth in the rag dump inspect rag rince off trash , repeat wash , then the same rinced. Maybe each time count slow to 20 then check .. and then that per each cycle ( wash , rinced ,dry , lube )

Seems like a lot but really ain't. . I s just one of them things you can't explain but show and tell would be golden..

I can't find a vid on the rag tumbling action no where to kinda show ..

Now I had to go back and fix some of that high quality German engineering..lol
( Between things like this and can't figure out how to keep screws tight it's no wonder the lost the wars )

So noticed a shifting of my poi . So looked at the front globe and once again it was slipping up it's dovetail . This globe has never stayed put for long

Here broke loose and slipped back

If hw would of cut the end of the dovetail flat to stop the globe like a wall instead of like a ramp that lets it keep slipping and spreads out / damages the globe as well if you don't catch it in time . It would not be near a issue ..lol.

Here put back and fresh glue + bolt and nut instead of the original cheszy slotted screw . You can get a bit more clamp down on it ( job st give you a bit more time before it slippes again ..lol)

The after the main glue fries I put a spot of yellow enamel fingernail polish on it that easy cracks if there's movement again..

German engineering..lol.


So with the sight globe reset and glue dry it was 7 clicks off ..

Ya, movement on irons is just as bad as movement with a optic .. movement is movement..

I finished off the 500 CP Domes,
Currently washing and tumbling 2000 pellets. CPD, CPHP, and FX 15.9

I re-zeroed with 15.9gr from an open tin. Much tighter groups than the CPD's.

Drying in progress. I tumbled them a little prior to this. But watching my 1yo and trying to get this done.

Funny, I don't have these problems with my scope-only Air Arms guns! ...Sorry couldn't resist. I'm guessing cutting those grooves straight would alleviate the problem.

I think the globe is defective it n ver stayed in place from day one and P.A ( lifetime warranty on Beeman) shrugged me off on a replacement.. so I just keep hobnailing it in place .. and still back to dead nutts on .. ( till the next glue job )

Who knows what package I actually got. I hope its here, because this buckrail is nice on my 2240, but not built for my Atomic

 

[Florida_Man]

I think i shor around 150 pellets today, not bad.

 

[Woogie_man]

Got a free case from work and I decided to use it for my son's rifle. Fits great and should make it much easier to transport.

 

[Hateful McNasty]

Finally got rain late yesterday been miserable hot and powder keg dry so this morning it's pretty comfortable for morning coffee shots . What a relief for the past weeks or so. What a difference that good 1-1/2 " shower made.
