Take a block of wood, and using a pair of dividers scribe the diameter of the bottle or air tube, cut out hole, slice block in half.
On each half take about an additional 1/4” off on the sides with the half circle cuts.

Now you have two blocks each with half rounds to place on bottle, tube, or whatever that’s round that you can now clamp on a vice so both hands are free.

Zero rust on my TJs. Oiled or not. My other steel barrels rust like it's a requirement of their continued existence.

Mine don't rust either,even after I polished outside to shinny finish. I have fx liners as accurate,but they'll not shoot both pellets and slugs as well. With the liner,it's one or the other real good. The tj has certain ones it likes extremely well,but those all good when you find the speed for that pellet or slug.

I'm wondering if the material they use would get along with softer materials like wood or laminate. Most of the pictures I've seen having them being used with polymer stocks.

Thanks.

So apparent the specialist gun tuners improve the shot count and FPS variation by removing the restrictor in the sub 12 ft pound models and simply adjust and balance the Regulator and hammer spring tension for more efficient air use and consistancy of around 11.5 ft pound. But I cannot find where this restrictor is located on the Vixen. Any of you guys now please?

I also would like to know where you got the barrel and your reg and hammer settings. VERY nice shooting!!

This scope is in good condition. The visible marks are adhesive from scope rings. There are a few marks on the AO side wheel under the throw lever from the set screws. What you see is what you get. Comes with the FX no limit rings. $225 shipped. Scope is springer rated according to the manufacturer.

Perhaps look down two threads below yours before you post?

Barrels usually have to be "leaded" or "seasoned" per each different projectile. JSB 25.39gr pellets for example will not leave the same leading as a 26gr slug.
With my guns usually 4 or 5 shots will do it if I change projectiles, which I don't.

Thank you for the info

That's a good find Works well on a Texan I'd imagine...

Got these from Amazon

Round holders

You definitely need the tensioner on the 800mm barrel in .35 Cal. especially if you are going to increase the power. The Power Block will buy you a little bit, but its gain can be made up with a higher reg pressure unless you are going for a very high velocity then the PB would pay off. I have both on mine and am pushing the 68 gr. Hybrids at 1025 fps with the Huma 1308 hammer spring, tungsten hammer weight and 170 bar on the reg. I prefer the Bullet Central tensioner over the FX one. Its available with a shroud also.

I have two gently used .177 magazines for a Taipan Veteran. These are $45 each when purchased new. They are for saleas a pair for $70 OBO to your door within CONUS. Paypal Friends and Family preferred. Thanks for looking.

Wonder if that means they're softer than normal redesigns so they can expand better? Idk my Crosman Premier are also shiny but are hard. Tin vs lead vs other making up composition

I don’t know what it means. I mean these things are really shiny. Almost aluminum foil type shiny.

Thanks for taking the time to explain that. Pretty neat, and I learned something since I never owned one myself. There were pretty expensive when they first released (IIRC) and I was just a college kid, so hand pumping was the way for me! I remember never letting others shoot my Talon SS because of all the hand pumping I'd have to do afterwards... lol

Hand Pumping?
Was it a true hand pump, or just a pump operated by hand?
There is a big difference.
The true hand pump was invented in 1649 by a fellow named Otto in a small village just south of .............
Ahhh nevermind!
Thanks for the interesting video!

I believe they all came with it. My 1992ish R1 and a virgin 1982/83 R1 I worked on had liners. Unless you got your gun new, it was removed. They were initially installed to help support the early style cocking shoe. They still kept them after the development of the new style cocking shoe in about 2012. They still function as grease shield and take up space around the spring which arguably helps reduce spring buzz. It's quite common for the liner to get damaged beyond use when a spring breaks. The 35s, 80s and 95 family guns use them. Here's an 80 liner with a new and old style cocking shoe. I've taken most of them out of the guns I've worked on.

Wow thanks for a great explanation. This is a great community.

Purchased this used from AoA about a year ago. Originally came with the long, 24.5" barrel. I bought a 410 mm barrel shortly after purchasing and added a Ratworks aluminum air cylinder which doubled the shot count and reduced the weight. Great shooting airgun. Super quite. Last shot string on 3/3/24: 756 average fps with JSB or FX 15.9, 74 shots (6 magazines+), SD 3.6. I've drilled a small hole to allow access to the hammer spring without removing the stock as shown in the pictures. Stock has quite a few scratches on it, but the metal is in good condition except for some marks on the end caps from when I replaced the air cylinder. Comes with everything shown in the pictures including the original barrel and six magazines. Two metal original Weihrauch mags and four from Alternative Mag, which I like much better. Scope not included
Priced at $850 shipped PP F&F or buyer pays fee. No trades

i'll tell you i have never even seen one before i started looking and that fell it to my lap
i did a Google search on the part number and that it is all i found
i would go to Creedmoor sports and ask if they can order one and i believe Buinger will ship to the states but the shipping will take all the fun out of

https://www.edinkillie.co.uk/centra/centra-vario-square-foresight-iris-p-1642.html

what i can tell is the chances of finding one in the states is very low they are advertised in Europe and mainly Germany and i don't know how well Centra is supported in the states
here is another company you could call

for me it looks a little odd that you would have so much field of view blocked but it is opinion with no firsthand knowledge of the product
they are not cheap

about all i can do for you

Why does this rifle have a powder burner ”magazine”, doesn’t seem like a good idea. Looks even worse with the MDT chassis, it’s not going to be a trainer for PRS PB because of no recoil, balance etc…

Click to expand...

Well it’s really not much less recoil that of a 22lr and that’s probably what they assume you’re going to be buying this to practice with for but hey it could just be a marketing strategy to get more powder burners into air rifles..? Hey buy this you won’t disturb your neighbor and you could shoot gobs of lead for way cheaper then your over priced 22lr ammo who knows..

If I were getting back into casting, I'd just buy ingots of Lyman 2 alloy. I think it's around $20 for 5 pounds. But that would be a last resort. There are risks in working with molten lead, and I'm happy to buy bullets and pellets.
