    700cc CF Bottle with new FX Valve

    I applied O-ring silicone grease to the rubber o-ring on the new FX valve and snugged it down using a hardened set screw wrench (allen) for leverage. I would assume that once the compressed o-ring takes a set, it adds to the pressure required to remove the valve, along with the internal high air...

    700cc CF Bottle with new FX Valve

    I recently purchased a new 700cc carbon fibre bottle and a new FX valve separately to replace an aluminum bottle currently on my FX Crown Mkll. Question: Would it be wise to use blue loctite on the valve thread when installing it in the bottle?

    Beeman S1, Marksman 45, Norica Jet tool

    Yesterday, I decided to make another attempt at crafting a "spring compressing tool" to disassemble my Beeman GS700 springer (aka Marksman 0035) using the same method and pipe nipple that KWK used in his above post. I purchased a 6" galvanized 3/4" nipple at my local HD for $4 and change, plus...

    Moly grease.

    CMD Anti - Scoring Extreme Pressure Lube #3 works great on screw threads and other areas where metal galling may occur. I use it primarily on the brass tips of a lathe steady rest and it prevents scoring. You may have to reapply it occasionally but it's the best I've ever used. I purchase it in...

    price of pellets

    I purchased my first pcp from AOA and they checked out the rifle well before sending it. However, their shipping charges are totally excessive even on smaller items. In some instances their shipping charges are a deal breaker and I’ll buy elsewhere.

    Beeman S1, Marksman 45, Norica Jet tool

    KWK, Nice photos and some good ingenuity on making the spring pusher from a plumbing fitting. I ran into a similar problem when I pulled my Beeman GS700 from a closet after many years of storage and it wouldn’t fire a pellet even though it sounded powerful when discharged. Today I attempted to...
