What'cha doing air gun related today?

[Pumacarl]

I used a brass and plastic pick at first but couldn't get the rock hard Oring out. I finally tried a hooked dental pick and it came right out. I've checked in the reg bore with a bore scope and didn't see any scratches in the Oring groove but that doesn't mean there isn't any. I'm leaning towards there being a stubborn hair in there. I have 7 dogs so there's no lack of hair.

I had an oring get so hard once that I thought it was actually a plastic part. That one took some effort, but I thought to myself afterwards that if I ever had an oring like that again, I was going to get a teapot steaming and use steam to soften the damn thing up. I haven't had to try it yet, but I'm sure that I will some day.

Well it's official, there's a tiny scratch in the Oring goove. It had to be with the brass pick I used. It's so hard to get a real good look in the reg bore.

Looking at the JTS .25 slugs that I ordered, I plan on trying them out with my Taipan this weekend.

I can't wait to hear how they do. That's a very interesting base. How does the dimensional finish look? Do they look uniform?

Yes, to me they look good.

I have 12-20 winds right now so I’m running them over the chronograph and I have a target set up at 50 yards.

 

[NateChrony]

No. That could correct one of the issues.

The other? give us a ping mate & we'll get it sorted

That the Network card that connects to my network doesn't seem to work. I can't get updates, or connect through a network, just direct connect.

And restarting when I shoot

I have hardly done anything for a few weeks. Went in for a procedure and came out with a Catheter.
Other than surfing, YouTube (for Airgun information of course) that's been about it.
Maybe in a week or 2 I'll get back to the range.
I can't tell you how much I miss the commodery with the guys. Talking smack, the best of times

I have a bunch of new airguns that want some shooting love, but instead I spent the night ill.

Hope you are able to get back soon.

More testing with the springers. I'm finding it surprising that the HW30S, HW30N, and the HW97KT are preferring JSB pellets.

 

[Billm]

It’s really windy and so I’m making ball bearing supported wind flags. Next: light stand adapter and probably add a sphere to the nose to indicate head and tail winds. Also the next ones will be two color. Gotta love swirling winds.

Hopefully it won’t be long for you. Seven months ago I was told that I would have a catheter for 9 days or so. I ended up with it for weeks because I couldn’t get the follow up appointment. At first I refused to leave the house with the bag. Then, I said to heck with it, I attached the bag to a small tripod/monopod so that I could shoot and started carrying it back and forth to the target stand. I’m sure my neighbors thought I was whacked, but it kept me sane lol.

I thought I had read before that the jsb were what they were designed around. Maybe it's misrememberererered.

Pushed the fill probe in too far on my Bullshark and blew the burst disc on my compressor. I've never done that before and I can tell you it happened faster than my brain could register what was going on. New ones won't be here until Thursday. Time to drag out my Daisy 35s and sling some BBs for a few days.

Pumpers need love too

I have several pumpers, a couple of single strokes, and some springers. Gotta cover all the bases. I almost forgot the co2 guns.

Love these. I still remember very vividly,,me at 5 years old, being taught by my favorite uncle, and much older cousin, how to fire one of these, then the PB one.
I was already the terror of every can, Starling and snake around our big pond with my Daisy rifle, but had never even touched a pistol. Apparently my uncle told my dad how much I loved them both, and that summer for my b-day, this was what I got.Man I loved that thing!
