I'm glad it finally arrived. If you can't straighten out the windage knob let me know. I can probably dig one up for you if you need one. Congrats Ron

I will agree that smoothing the little rotation that's there is a prudent thing and will help smooth the guns overall fuction. But springs don't really wind up as much as people here think. Do my experiment yourself and you'll see. The amount of rotation at the spring ends is very minimal. As...

The washers were stacked and lubed the. The washers were rolled back and forth until there was no twisting pressure in either direction. What you see is a valid representation of how much the spring wants to twist with that much compression. As far as opposing counter wound spring guns goes...

There's actually very little rotation when compressing/ expanding a coil spring. If there was significant torque in most cases it would still be distributed in opposite directions into the same compression tube. Which would negate the ability to feel the torque. When a springer rolls when fired...

Where does it torque come from? And how do you feel it?

Never ship anything valuable through usps. They've been absolutely horrible lately. Especially rifles. Rifle style boxes are suspiciously damaged and lost all the time. I suspect there's some anti gun sentiment within the ranks of the USPS.

I have that kit. It's been in and out of my R1 a few times in three calibers. It shoots nicely. You'll get 16-17 in 20 cal depending on what seal you use. It's never touched 18 fpe even in 22 which naturally makes more power. It's a good kit for a mid power 80/R1. Hth. Be well Ron

No one can.

Great gun. Nice find. Congrats

Had my scoped 30 out tonight before sundown. I checked the zero at 25 and started swatting a motrin bottle at 52 yards, and a soup can at 70. I went 7 out of 10 on a 4" plate at 93 yards.. you can see the orange plate in line with the barrel. A good running little gun. 8.2 fpe with an extreme...

Nope. The stuff is stupid expensive and its benefits are minimal over conventional lubes when properly built. I now only use krytox on guns with compromised comp tubes that are prone to excessive dieseling. You're right in that you can't mix and match lubes with krytox. I've tried. It turns...

The buttons when done correctly shouldn't slow the gun down at all. As you home roll your own kits and use different lubes I have no ideas on their potential power and smoothness. A perfectly centered piston makes for a smoother more efficient rifle. This is easily accomplished by centering...

Sorry to hear that. You might be a candidate for eye surgery. A few people here have had that don't with remarkable results. I'm contemplating lasic myself. It's annoying to shoot with glasses so I often adjust the scopes to my bare eye. It still sucks because it seems like everytime I pick...

Huh? BTW I know you like them but you're kinda wasting your time with buttons on an Hw30. There's no rear side load on the piston. I'm looking forward to your results I had my Peep sighted 30 out yesterday and it's still making 8.2 fpe clean with 7.33 RS. Be well Ron
