I (ashamedly) own a Crosman 3622. questions on modifications

My post title is tongue in cheek, yeah I sure wish it was a better airgun, but I bought it because I have fun testing myself with less than top of the heap products. I appreciate what Crosman has done by introducing this gun. I don't have the skills to acquire something so simple, yet effective, without paying more. I thought about an FX DRS, or Airforce utility rifle, which on paper is a much better decision than this purchase for what I desire from an air rifle. Having said that, I already own six other Crosmans, so I do know what I am getting into. Modifying is my thing. I need to tinker and see how good I can make the rifle. I am specifically interested first on improving accuracy, and then power. Simplicity and lightweight and compactness are already built into the gun. I am waffling between peep/globe sight and scope, but I still need a better breech to test my Williams WGRS-54. some kind of upgraded breech will be implemented. I just prefer the ease and stability of adjustment over the plastic peep. Scopes always work for me, they are just heavy and bulky compared to open sights. Not real keen on the plastic trigger group, but truthfully it is working pretty well with a simple lighter trigger return spring and a tension loosened safety/sear spring. I want to explore what a three screw mod really does. I have put an adjustment screw on the forward part of my 362 anniversary (legacy) edition, and that limits sear engagement. Do I need something else? The accuracy bit is either going to come down to the right pellet and tuning or a different barrel. someone said a Lothar Walther Marauder barrel could be adapted. How does that work? It might sound crazy to some but a $200 barrel is something I would be willing to do. I don't like the barrel bands as they come, but I think some shimming will center the barrel more precisely. all of these topics are covered somewhere else, but I am getting tired of looking through posts, so I am seeing if anyone will indulge this crazy person.

FX  FX Impact M4 did not dissapoint! Now I see Why it's #1...

Nates-m4.JPG


Hey guys, I have tested about 400 guns...and this FX Impact M4 truly deserves the #1 spot. Out of the box (no tuning) it's shooting 18.1gr pellets at 890 FPS and doing it perfectly. I'm almost done with the review video but I couldn't wait to show you! I bought this gun with my own money, so I'm not on the FX team. I can just really appreciate shooting an M4, after trying every other gun out there. It shoots like a dream! -Nate

Here is 50+ shots at 38 yards, FX 18.1 gr pellets. Those are 5 shot groups:

This is my second M4, the first was from a major FX dealer and shot like crap at the identical out of the box settings. If your M4 doesn't shoot like the groups shown above, send it back immediately. And if you don't buy from PY Air, you will risk a re-stocking fee if the "techs" don't agree that 1 inch groups at 35 yards is not OK. My first M4 also had parts that looked like they were dropped on the ground, then picked up and installed on the gun. (missing finish). The second M4 from Pyramyd Air was perfect.

Not trying to dump on anyone, but I have pulled new FX rifles out of the box with safetys that don't work. Stuff like that does happen, with all airgun companies, not just FX.

Is this hobby is worst than drugs??

I,m 79 years Young. I do not wear glasses, still get around good, but just slower than before, & still shoot pretty good.
But I still see new guns I would like to have, or think I can,t go on with out it.I have been addicted to smoking the same
with alcohol for many years of my early life. But came to grips with that I had to stop. I,m now retired & on a fixed income but
that has not exactly stoped me with this addiction. I can say this I have not bought any $1000 guns yet or will ever. I think
people that can afford them it is only money right. But I have as much enjoyment as any of you. My Avenger can shoot better
than me. I have come to the conclusion. (It is really more fun wanting something than having it) . Think about that. You want
something REALLY BAD, then you order it. You use & truly enjoy it , then the day comes a new model of what you have comes
out & all of a sudden you start wanting that, & put what ever you wanted before a side? Yes we have & still do that. The one
Great thing in getting old is you gain WISDOM. You can not teach wisdom, you must live it. God Bless all my friends here.

Stock and velocity change mystery

Airacuda Max is a very accurate PCP for the money but I have made a discovery that will probable make me go mad or madder . You must remove the stock in order to adjust hammer spring . I do this and use a crony to get the velocity just right .Example 875 fps and install back into stock and depending on how tight the stock screw is I end up 20 to 40 fps slower .Just setting it into stock makes 10 or 15 fps diff . I was very happy not knowing this . Any thoughts can only be helpful . Or not !

N/A  Open sights sight picture?

What does your open sights, sight picture look like?

I’ve been shooting my Diana 54 with open sights at 30yards, using a bright orange 1.5inch (39mm) diameter sticker as my aim point.

Would you place the orange sticker “on top” of your front sight, or use your front sight to “cover half” of the orange circle?
Would you use a bigger sticker to aim at, and if so what size?

What do you find makes the best target to aim at with open sights?

Shooting Crosseyed

Have any of you heard the old technique of shooting cross eyed?

My father was a crack shot. He was unbelievable with a rifle. His father was a rifleman and taught him to shoot when he was very small. He was raised during the depression in rural west Texas hunting for what he ate. He was a rifleman in the Korean war and then a “sniper” in the early days of Viet Nam. He was well trained. He hunted every big game animal in the west and a bunch in SE Asia. He guided hunts in Wyoming for years. When he spoke about shooting I listened.

He said that whenever he shot offhand he shot cross eyed. He was trained to do that with iron sights in the military. He would focus on the front bead with both eyes open until his eyes crossed and then “time slowed down”. His movements seemed slower and he could easily time the trigger with his wobble. “It’s as easy as shooting basketballs when your eyes are crossed”.

He said he did the same thing in a scope. But he focused on the target so hard that time slowed. His crosshairs floating in the foreground were more controllable and his trigger timing was better.

I mastered the scope technique pretty quickly. At least to some extent. I wasn’t crosseyed. But in the scope its easy to get an altered state going. An intense target focus will improve trigger timing for sure. I didn’t realize how effective it was until I applied it to iron sights.

Over the years I have shot very little with iron sights. Mainly pistol. And I never really tried focusing that hard on the bead. But when I couldn’t keep a scope on a cheap air rifle I decided to experiment with iron sights. Of course I thought of my father. And immediately wanted to learn how to “shoot cross eyed”.

After some practice and research I can tell you that there IS something to it. There is a point where depth drops away, the entire world is a blur and the only thing in your consciousness is the front post and a blur of the target beyond. Time slows down. As you come across your target in your wobble you have lots of time to initiate the shot.

It really is like basketball. You look for an opening, time your jump and fling the ball. It is MUCH easier to hit your target especially when a lot of movement is involved. I’m convinced this is how some guys hit targets thrown in the air with a rifle.

My observation is that when all your external input is focused on the bead your brain has more time to process movements. It isn’t busy with depth, surroundings, things like that. It processes input faster because it has less to do. Things seem “slower”. You are simply focusing all your brain power on the task at hand by limiting visual input.

We all know how poorly we shoot when we have internal and external input bombarding us. It makes sense if you get rid of ALL input by “crossing your eyes” and intensely focusing its going to help. Especially with chaos around you.

My father didn’t rationalize it much. He just listened to his training and practiced it. And tried to teach it to me. I’m just beginning to understand those lessons.

I understand some guys teach this in combat pistol training. You practice until you come on target “cross eyed” and focusing on the bead. Your target is blurry in the background.

It’s just eye exercises mainly. You could learn it sitting in front of the television and never fire a shot. I believe it would vastly improve accuracy with a revolver.

I still can’t do it “at will”. I struggle to get that focus point sometimes. Sometimes I can’t maintain it through the shot. I’m getting better at it though. If I was 16 again I could probably master it in an hour.

If I do it too much my eyes are hard to get back in focus. My eyeballs are old and lop sided. They probably have all the tread worn off the back from rubbing against my head. I don’t want to push it too hard or I might have a flat.

When things are just right I can shoot more accurately than I could ever imagine. I am absolutely stunned and amazed how effective this technique is.

I’m sure others employ this or some other similar techniques in their routine. Does anyone out there have a shortcut to a zen like state that allows them to time a shot better?

  • Question
HW/Weihrauch  Hw95 .20 piston seal replacement

Picked up a used 20 cal 95 yesterday in very good condition and came with a few thousand pellets most ftt and a tin of barracudas.
I headed straight to the range and mounted an old nikko stirling I had on another gun and sited in. Barracudas, ftts and jsb all grouped well.
Chronograph showed 7fps variation over 10 shots (699-692) 6 shots were 698.
I noticed it was a little gritty to cock accompanied with a honking noise. Firing cycle very twangy but no loss of sit picture.
Fully stripped the gun degreased an relubed and cocking feels like a completely different gun.
The seal looks worse for wear but is giving really consistent results.

Do I change the seal? If so should I go the red concave seal or green eco seal from custom air seals?

Cheers
