Diana  Diana 54 action movement

I just purchased a new Diana 54 Airking Pro (laminated stock) in .22 cal. I was siting it in and found that the first shot would be dead on, the second 3" low, the third dead on (same hole as the first) and fourth 3" low (same hole as the second). I was very puzzled until I realized that the entire action slides within the stock and it was not returning to the front position when re-cocked. So, I manually pull the barrel forward within the stock after every shot and it's always dead on.

The manual says that it should automatically go back to the front position when re-cocked. Any ideas?

Also, the entire mechanisms shifts within the stock (see pics). Is this normal? Pyramid Air (Seller) said this is a defective gun but I think they might be wrong? They said that the there should be no movement within the stock. However, I thought that's what a sliding action did.
Any help would be immensely appreciated.
Dan

Seneca/Sam Yang  Dragon claw II

I do not have questions but wanted to post and update and thank everyone for all of the helpful and very appreciated advice about my Dragon Claw not shooting straight. I cleaned the barrel and it was super dirty!! I watch A LOT OF videos on how to properly mount a scope, took the scope of, leveled gun and mounts and used a plum bob to align the scope reticle plumb with the gun being level! I cleaned, and lubed my pellets. After getting everything right and getting close at 25 yds I moved out to 50 and definitely got it sighted in and definitely getting good groups. I was actually shocked that with a 330 gr slug it shot so great!!!! Thanks again for everyone advice. (PHOTOS ATTACHED) White target 25yds, splatter target 55yds!!

Crosman  Age and assembly of my Crosman 760

I was given a Crosman 760, photos attached. I’m trying to find the year of it (I can see 818037 in very small font on the upper left side of the trigger assembly), and need to order parts for it - once I know which year it is!). Also got it partially dissembled but can’t see how the spring shown loose in the photo should go back in - I assume it should hold the pall into the firing mechanism until it is released by the trigger. Also, what holds the safety “piston” in place in front of the trigger - have I lost something?? Any help would be much appreciated!

FX  FX Dynamic

I have the FX Dynamic 700mm in .357. To keep it short I’m looking to shoot a 145 ish grain slug and reach 900 to 950 fps. As of now after replacing the stock hammer weight with the 8mm hammer weight I’ve found myself at 170 bar on the regulator, macro/micro maxed out and shooting 830fps. Any adjustments, wether it be up or down in pressure along with macro/micro adjustments just drops fps. Is there anyone that can point me in the right direction or am I “pushing rope”? Thank you in advance.

HW/Weihrauch  Surprisingly Disappointing & Confused

For Christmas I finally broke down and bought a Competition Electronics ProChrono DLX. I wanted to see exactly where my 3 Weihrauch's stood. performance wise.
The oldest of the bunch, the HW95 (with a new Vortek PG4 Tune kit) perfomed as expected with an average 765fps shooting H&N Baracuda Match 10.65g pellets.
The HW90, after pumping a tad more air into it, is shooting 905fps average using the same pellets.

This is where Im totally confused and a bit peeved. My HW80 with very little pellets ran throught it (probably less than 250), is averaging a mere 425fps using the same 10.65g H&N's. This rifle is supposed to be a "Magnum" springer or so I thought, yet my Benji & Sheridan's blow it out of the water as far as power goes.

Any idea why Im getting such lackluster performance out of this HW80? Its NEVER been stored cocked, thats for sure. Do I need to break down and buy a Vortek kit for this one as well ? The Vortek kits are smooth as silk and I love how it tamed the HW95, but I read somewhere that power may suffer if I treid putting the kit in the HW80. It seems at this point I have nothing to loose. Geeze.

Brocock/BRK  Brocock Commander Magnum XR .25 Tuning?

Currently big into rimfire but looking to update some other stuff in the gun room.

Wanting to fine tune my BRK Commander XR magnum .25 for optimal performance @ and past 100 yards. Have to go through it as my brother left it in the rain while I was last deployed. Tank is slowly losing pressure as well.

When I left it was shooting dimes @40yd. Hadn’t messed with it since I saw a little rust and was told what happened.

Anyone have one of these? Right now it has a Bushnell Match Pro ED, Ergo 0 grip, and saber tactical bottom pic rail w/ Atlas BT 65.

Was considering a 700cc tank, adding a FabArms R.A.P stock (or other PRS style), and finding a longer ARCA to replace the saber pic.

Admittedly, I am not sure how to best tune it would be and am looking for advice or sending it off for a full cleaning/tuning. Thanks to all in advance.

Air Venturi  Avenger Loss of Power

Tying to I.D. a loss of power in both a .177 and .22 Avenger.

Both a .177 & .22 operated correctly for 6-9 months, then the loss of power in both guns. Spent 4 months sending the .177 back to Air Venturi multiple times. No joy!

I first measure efficiency with a chrono. I measure mutiple reg pressures looking for the knee. Enjoyed shooting well for 6-9 months. Now I get a 80-100 fps drop in efficiency compared to the original numbers. Also shooting, used to get 2nd zero at 60 yards, now its 45 yards (backyard max range).

Didn't notice any air leaks. Cleaned the barrel. Virgin at taking the gun apart, but I got the Aveger seal kit and replaced the reg and hammer spring. Didn't fix the problem. I read on posts the O rings need lube or replacing under the reg.

How do you get the Belleville washers and O rings out for servicing. Looks like you need to force them. Didn't want to without more info.

Replaced the reg with no service to the O rings because I didn't know to remove them.

  • Question
Sheridan  Sheridan Blue Streak: Oiling the bolt?

Hey. New Sheridan Blue Streak owner here. I recently acquired two of them, and one of them is a bit harder for me to cock, and just doesn't feel as smooth.

Dumb question: would it be a bad idea to lube the bolt with some pellgun oil or something on the back end, let it work in and see what that does? Or would that possibly be detrimental in some way?

Another dumb question; is Mac 1 still doing his thing? Seems the website is down, haven't tried calling due to the holidays, but was curious if he was still doing the Lord's work for these things. The one with the not-as-satisfying bolt action was maintained by the previous owner dropping oil in the "oil hole under the pump arm", and that one seems to be noticably less powerful with the same # of pumps. Was thinking of using that as an excuse to send it off to be resealed, drilled for a peep site, and juiced to the gills (erm, air tube?)

  • Question
FX  Switching between pellets and slugs, FX Panthera .25 Cal 600 MM BARREL

I have my FX Panthera tuned for 33.95 grain pellets. If I decide to try slugs I know I will have to retune the air gun. Of course my scope is zeroed for the 33.95 grain pellets. I'm assuming I would need to re-zero my scope as well as retune the air gun. By the way, I am new to air gunning.

Tuning the air gun seems to be the more simple part of the problem. But re-zeroing the scope would be a pain when changing back and forth. I guess I could just find where the new slug is shooting and adjust my scope until it hits the target reliably. But then I'd have to remember for a specific new slug where do I set my scope as well as my air gun tune.

I can see where the electronic airguns like Daystate have an advantage that they can quickly change the tune. Now if they could have an electronic scope that also could be set to a new "tune" that would be great for air gunners that want to switch between pellets and slugs.

How do others in my situation handle this problem? That's my big question. Do most people find one pellet or slug that works and stick with it? I'd like to hear from those air gun shooters on how they handle this specific problem. And maybe if there are better solutions than I have thought of then please tell me.
