It's like blaming Ford for making a supercharged gas gulping lifted truck vs making a commute-friendly Toyota Corolla. Or a .50 BMG rifle maker. What is it for? For hunting? Hunting who, a mammoth? From a blind 2 miles away? True to the very last argument, but pointless.Ok honestly I love aea but can we focus on something more practical than turning this into a circus….I can’t help but think of big floppy clown shoes… instead take notes from huben … let’s shrink things down… more power in a compact package … let’s increase shot count let’s increase shots per fill… not turn this into the equivelant of slapping each other brain dead for peanuts..
That's great history on this wood, I'm a carpenter myself and always try to reclaim and reuse nice old wood like thatThat wood is kind of special. We cut the walnut trees on the farm in 1962 when we sold the cattle and went into grain farming. It lay in the barn for years before I got the equipment to work it. I made a nice fly tying desk from it also. Still have a nice stack in my shed waiting for another project.
If I had to replace mine I would use something that won't move stretched over the barrel instead of sliding around. Glad that was all it was.14.1 x 1.6 70 nbr
******* The same size o-ring made by BASF in Germany is way higher quality than the same size made in China. Go to Grainger and checkout the o-rings, they have o-rings that cost $125 a piece made for the aerospace industry, you think they get those from Ali-Express? There are most definately different grades of quality o-rings. Why do you think that some sites list that their o-ring are ISO certified, because everyone does it? No, they don't. And you can get o-rings in a lot more than just plain old rubber. I have had o-rings that didn't last installation because they were crap, and some lasted for years.
You are right !....... Pleasure would become hell.All of a sudden something that was once a fun hobby would become a full time job and shortly thereafter monotonous repetition as well as just even more of the "same old same old".
Also you have to start yelling at your bosses for changing their pellet designs just when we had the older design shooting fine.
