Who else likes to tinker to make things better?

I thought I would reach out and start something fun for all of us. Cleaning my work area I started finding bits and piece of all my projects. Being a competitive shooter and an engineer has lead to an addiction it would seem. The pictures show some of my barrel and tuner ideas that I have had made to help push my results higher. Things are really coming around as this year as my new barrels have produced a 1st and 2nd in EFT as well as other high finishes. I was wanting to share this with everyone to see what you are doing and spur new ideas to help push the sport to new heights. Thanks for sharing!

Over 40 yrs ago I got into handgun competition and migrated to shotgun competition and recently my interest has moved to air gunning. I have always like to tinker around with my guns but unlike you I majored in History not Engineering. I can tell you all about the history of a gun and its manufacturer but not much about the mechanics of the gun. Yes, it has cost me some money but No, I probably won't stop tinkering. I often get frustrated but never bored.

Yea, I like to make things better, But most the time I end up screwing something up, I have had to learn my limits.

I've done that all my life. My last big project was a 1995 550 KTM 2 stroke. They dyno at 62 HP at the rear wheel stock. Of course I had to do a bunch of things to up that power not that I had the skills to use it. I just had to up grade my MK2 impact PP after I received it with the power block/power plenum because it just didn't have enough power. Now it sitting because it leaks and my work bench is taken up with the refurb H135 that needed a new piston seal. I threw all of Duys liberty mods on the used one I bought from dairy boy. Only 3 air rifles I haven't done anything to is my.25 cal Sumatra, my .25 cal sentry, and my H125 springer in .177.

I like to tinker but I also like to finish the project. Your second picture shows why I have never bought an FX. I'd be able to build a log cabin out of all the extra barrels that I would have to try out, and the parts parade would never end either. I would only go down that road if I got rid of everything that I have and was starting over. I do like the King in the Saber tactical chassis though.

As a kid I would take apart my toys to see how they worked. Hopeful if I didnt break anything during the disassemble, I would just reassembly'em back to original. Now as an engineer I have to tinker with everything.

 

[ernroe]

My father was not an educated man but he could take anything apart from a radio to a car transmission, repair it, put it back together and it would work. Unfortunately I only inherited the take it apart gene.

I buy AG’s with the plan of it being a project. I want a pistol carbine in 177. I could buy another Atomic, my 22 is amazing. But I want to try some things out.

I like to see what makes things Tik, but after they just won't Tok.

 

[jps2486]

Sometimes I criticize people for screwing with a good thing, but I confess I'm guilty of a little twiddling too.

 

[SILENT SQUIRREL]

I like to fix things that are not broken

 

[PasadenaMike]

Heck No!!!! lol I’m a tech but I don’t take anything apart if it’s not broken snd even then I’d probably just toss it, return it or warranty it. I better see some time on my paycheck for taking things apart. I just buy a quality piece I can afford and leave it alone
