N/A .177 for slugs (primarily at least)?!

I wonder if the U3 hammer is compatible in the U2. Although I assume you'd likely have to swap both hammer and valve.

But I will update today!

The U3 hammer seems longer, so yeah, valve would have to be changed as well. Other then that the mechanics look pretty identical, didn’t measure though.

No need to I was just wondering!

Did either of you ever try cutting the hammer spring? Results?

Not yet! It’s on the list of experiments to run though

So whenever I pick the cal for a new rifle, I don’t even consider .177. I mean, there is whole countries out there being sad about the fact that that’s what they’re stuck with… I’ve got plenty of space to plink so why cripple myself (or so I thought… ).

Yet, I find myself thinking about a .177 more and more due to “some” people’s influence (not looking at anyone in particular @JaceSpace1369 @RabbitofCaerbannog)… I am almost caving in so maybe talk me out of it? If you want to talk me (even deeper) into it that’s fine as well, ideally with a recommendation for a rifle in this case Since it’ll be an experiment of sorts for me I’d probably want to get a used medium tier one first to see how I like it, should shoot slugs though since I’d like to use it for small critters (besides plinking)… Thanks in advance!

The only absolute possible drawback to .177 is handling /loading with old fat fingers .
I only shoot .177 , 80 years old this sept .
