I wonder what the percentage of guessing is posted here,I am guessing ,I think a lot of guessing,Over the years I know for a fact certain posters do not guess,they are full of facts and experience that can actually help people ,I am guessing most of these posters do not post often because facts take more time and studying than guessing.Then again I admit I may be guessing ,that makes me a hypocrite ,what a relief that was

I got sick of being told I'm wrong, seeing the OP take the wrong advice, then come back complaining. That's why I stick to the FT and BR sub forums. Not much guessing going on there.

Massachusetts here. I've been posting in one form or another since it was Ted's Holdover blog.

I cut down a piece of acetal rod that I sized in my lathe and tapped it into my cocking arm and that was the end of the galling issues for me. Now the arm just glides on that instead of the metal to metal contact. The 50S comes with a Derlin insert already but the 30S doesn't for whatever reason. Don't know why.

FWIW, Maccari from time to time sells this bit that works the same way:

It looks like a heavy version of an essay folder binder strip, LOL, if ya remember those from your school days. it simply creates a smooth bearing surface that sticks up a hair beyond the edges of the cocking link. You just pop it into the link, no need to drill holes or create a roller, etc. It would be easy enuff to fabricate something similar yourself too.



I've used them a couple times and they work great, but most of my double-link HW's are fine without it, too.

Just a follow-up to finalize: I decided that a small mod to the stock would simplify tuning matters greatly, so I drilled a small access hole in the stock for adjustment. The standard long allen wrench works perfectly. Now no longer necessary to detatch the stock for adjustment of the hammer.

I might like one in .20 and 12 FPE , IF it had extra switchable air cylinders to carry along .

If my brother asks a question and the person responds “I’m not sure” he says “So you don’t have a f’ing clue right?”

One other question.....Why 30cal other than say 22cal ( my preferred caliber ) after all It Is only a bench rest gun ? . 30cal ammo more expensive and I would think less shot count .
But It seems to me most people ( at least on video ) shoot the 30cal .

I’ve used them with excellent results target shooting - in two different FX barrels and an Akela barrel.

I actually bought 5 more tins - wasn’t expecting the 1st tin to do so well.

Definitely performs right with the JSB/FX 10.3s despite the lower weight. I’m very impressed with them.

Super nice !

I would like to see what THammer finds out too. Here is the problem, its hard to get information when the bad barrels haven't been returned yet? Also I have ran into this myself trying to take care of a problem someone has with zero cooperation from them. Troy is a great guy and would give the shirt off his back if you needed it. I have had personal experiences with him and he's always made it right.

I really liked curved and adjustable butt pads so got a couple Bisleys off of EBAY UK and think it turned out pretty good. Took a lot of grinding but it fits pretty good on the super jumbo.

Thank you! A friend bought us an Arken ELP4 6-24x50 scope when they were on sale, and although I love the view at 24x, I find I shoot better with it at 14-16x. Target acquisition and parallax adjustments are more forgiving, too. I think you shoot way better than me, and it helps to know it's not just me.

Much appreciated.

Greetings dormitionskete:
I have been shooting almost exclusively at 75-yards, from the shooting bags, and I set the scope for that distance at 24X. I don't need field of view for that set up as my target acquisition is within a 3x4 foot box. I basically set it and forget it..

Nice and relatively inexpensive adjustable pads. I have two Daisy Avanti 753s with Bisleys on them. It was a good amount of work contouring the base plate, but i have been very happy with them. I'll see if I can get a picture up tomorrow.

Its called PIFMA data. Pulled It From My Ass

When all your guns need tinkering and tuning it’s nice to have a couple that don’t. My FX’s etc all need a tune here and a tweak there but my GK1 and K1 are just load set and forget. What a pleasure.

Hey Willy, if you can see the serial number we can tell you the age.

Hello! I've come to you from Australia.

My first PCP was a Career 707 'Western' carbine w/ mod. It had a rare/special receiver design which I was told was one of it's kind. The magazine was very fussy on pellets but Eun Jin domed pellets worked just fine. The gun never leaked or gave me a problem in the 10 plus years I owned it. I sold it and have regretted it since. Maybe not the best but a favorite.

I have a Career 707, I love lever action.

We all wanted to be Chuck Connor as The Rifleman as kids.

I use them in my 1720t, TX 200, and LGU. All .177. I have excellent results out of the tin WITHOUT sorting!!

Maybe it is a suggestion for another possibility to check that wasn't listed b4 ?
