If it is possible to contact AOA and get approval to tear it down that would seem like the best way to start. I found out the hard way that shipping is very expensive these days.

Beautiful! So how does it compare to the FWB 300S? Which produces a steadier sight picture through the shot, is more accurate? I understand they were direct competitors back in the day.

My local gun shop is not too far away from me in Adrian, Michigan.

Consignment or trade in at my local gun shop. BTW they recently received a collection of high end guns including Anschutz, FWB and Steyr. They are in the process of having them refurbished and resealed and they should show up soon on their online listing for used guns.

This is a question that has no simple answer, but I thought I would relay my experience with my TX200HC in case it might be of help. The story starts last year with a tweak to the rifle's spring and a relube. After thoroughly wiping the bore, I lubed the OD of seal, piston and spring with a bare...

I have convinced myself that my gun likes the Air Arms 8.4 pellets the best. And those were the 4.52 size. Good luck in Ohio!

I just finished running my springers over the chronograph. On most there I find a drop in velocity over the first 10-15 shots as the gun warms up. At least I assume it is due to the gun getting warmer. The drop amounts to around 10 fps and is only noticeable on longer targets. As far as groups...

Webley Eclipse. Pretty gun and I thought the loading gate was very clever. Trigger was not great however.

Tried shooting my TX200HC but it wouldn't hold zero. Vertical spread to groups. Suspected it needed fresh lube so applied Vortek orange lube to the OD of the piston and spring and gave it another try. Seems OK now. Velocity is maybe a little lower than I would like, but reasonably consistent...

I removed 4 inches from the end of an R9 barrel, then squared it up, and chamfered the OD and ID. All in attempt to get better accuracy by reducing shot time. Accuracy was not what I hoped for until I removed the tight areas in the bore where the barrel had been pressed into the breach block by...

Mine developed a trigger reset problem. Contacted FWB and they arranged warranty repair. Came back better than new. Now my favorite springer for shooting outdoors.

Sold my Air King today for $450 via consignment at a local gun shop. Lost 15% service charge, but didn’t have to fiddle with shipping or worry about being scammed. Couldn't be happier. On viability of springers, I enjoy mine and shoot them more often than my PCPs for some reason. And a top...

I put the Air King on consignment at the local gun shop over a month ago for $495 and so far no takers. May have to drop the price. The story I got was that local airgun customers are mainly interested in PCPs these days. Oh well. To levgen721, never an empty shot. My belief from the way the...

I am planning to sell my Diana 54 Pro Beech in .22 caliber and wondering what it should bring on the used market. It is very clean and I just got it back from a factory rebuild including new piston, spring and trigger group. Chuck

This is a follow up to a prior post describing the "inverted" rifling pattern that Diana uses on the 54, and maybe on all their rifles. The responses were basically: "interesting, but how does it shoot?". We have had some calm weather in Michigan lately, so after thoroughly cleaning the barrel...

Not sure what your actual goal is, but trying to get any kind of accuracy out of a spring powered pistol is a real challenge. At least I'm not up to it. Single strokers or multi-pumps are in a different league entirely, due to the essentially recoilless behavior. That said, there are a couple...

This is a great thread! Thanks to all who have contributed, a lot of great information being shared. Here is what I can add. Pivot lock screw torque: I had to send my Sport in for trigger work. After getting it back, all seemed fine for a while, then I noticed the pivot had worked loose. I went...

Is that "collet" really solid, or is it a cup intended to center the spring on the piston ID? That's what I was considering if I ever get inside my Sport. If not a cup, how would the collet differ from a simple spring spacer?

I agree it is all about accuracy in the end. My gun shoots acceptably, but not exceptionally well. But the question is what drives the decision to one configuration or the other? Does each proponent imagine their configuration to be the one that is more accurate, or is there something else...

I happened to look at the muzzle of my .22 caliber Diana 54 one day and noticed that the rifling was different from what I expected. Instead of being a series of narrow ribs that would engage the pellet and impart rotation, the rifling consisted of a set of narrow grooves, leaving the pellet...
