Correct. As the compressor cylinder head warms up, the grease will too and will flow easily. Without that rubber, you'll have a lot of grease going into that compressor very quickly.

The tiny hole is all that it needed, the compressor sucks air/grease from there and through the air filter.

I am really looking at the pathfinder as a backpack rifle. What moderator are you running? It looks pretty compact

I bought my first springer in the early '70s, a Wischo 55. As a teenager I was fascinated with its accuracy and power, exceeding the familiar store brands I owned. I continued to prefer break barrelled springers, acquiring a few more as a young adult and married man. In the late '80s, we moved to our current rural address. I abandoned my air arms since I had acreage and the ability to discharge firearms on my home ranges. I believed that .22 rimfires were superior to springers in every respect. I put my springers away, seemingly forever. As I enter my 4th quarter of life, however, I'm delighted to reintroduce myself to pellet guns. I have grandchildren now, and they enjoy firing my Daisy, Crosman, Beeman , Weihrauch and other air arms. Should I eventually return to suburban residency, I'm sure I'll find my collection to be more appropriate and valuable, as before. Finding this website will make the years ahead even more enjoyable.

Isn't Tuxing a chinese producer?

I think, most china compressor use the same china industrial parts and are manufactured in factorys which produce the same thing for a lot of brands.

btw i think Tuxing is underrated for the price they sell. I own a shoebox compressor from them and up to now it runs great. Maybe its a question if the chinese which put the parts together had a good day, tight the screws correctly, did clean the parts before implating them in the unit and so on....

If not, the product doesn't last long....

yes that could work
i like cocking aids for the most part
the one on the BSA Scorpion works great and i just leave it in place
till it was bought up here for the model 6 i had never giving it much thought
i can design one that slides on the barrel end and hook to something on the other side of the globe sight made and made out aluminum but it would never more tools than i own

Gosh, this does look cool but I can’t help but chuckle at the marketing y’all use sometimes.
“unmatched accuracy.”
…said 90% of ad’s, with zero context to follow.

what tools did you use and tests did you run - hopefully simulations as well since I doubt you have every airgun at your disposal - to make such an objective determination?



sure, you could call me pedantic but it’s still friggin hilarious to me, and being a little bit pedantic is warranted in this hobby/industry I think.


edit:
ps
rather than merely complaining and not presenting any potential resolve, I’ll point out that I think much more respectable solution is when manufacturers describe average group sizes and other stats. This is actually objective and can be compared against by not only a consumer, but a companies tech‘s to help decide if an RMA is justified or not.

If you hang out in the "what springer did you shoot today" thread, you will quickly learn that the right thing to do with a new springer is; #1 Take a few shots to establish a baseline and make sure your rifle is functional, #2 tear down said rifle to it's component parts, clean the crappy grease/lubrication that the manufacturer uses to keep rust at bay, #3, at the minimum, relube with moly or even better krytox, #4 add a kit from Vortex, Maccari, TbT, or ARH (sorry if I can't recall the others), #5 marvel at how much smoother the shot cycle is ('tis true). #6, manufacture your own components with precise machining and extreme patience. I hope #6 is optional, but more prevalent than expected ;-).

So I now have 8 springers (newbie) and 7 have been treated as above. In the past month! The 8th is a gas ram. I was intimidated at first, but youtube videos are extremely helpful and the rifles really are quite simple. Nick's videos (TbT) are my go to...Cheers!
