A ways back I did some research on short ~30fpe builds for a truck gun. I don’t think I even finished the video. I saw the groups at 45yds in an indoor range and lost interest. I would much rather have an RTI compact or another lightweight bull pup design for a longer barrel in a similar overall...

I use regulators on all my 32fpe double discos etc. That said I have adjustable hammer springs and tune the rifles so I can get consistent shots from 3200psi down to 2200psi. I have the added advantage that I modded a stock platform that was designed around a 2000psi max fill. So I get a...

Thank you for confirming. It was definitely without air pressure in the valve when it got struck by the hammer. The first valve pin looked slightly off center in the valve body before I pulled it. The replacement sealed up fine. I was lucky to have ordered a spare pin/seat when I ordered my...

Pulled the valve parts, and the valve seat was still properly installed. I swapped the valve stem and no leaks. Any thoughts on if the other valve stem is toast or what happened?

I just finished rebuilding my old FX Cutlas complete down to valve pins, valve seat etc. It was tight as a drum and held air perfect on the bench. When I pulled the airtube and mounted it in the stock I cocked it to check the auto return on the side lever and of course accidentally dry fired it...

The FX barrel on my rifle appears to be The FX barrel on my Logun appears to be just an old school unshrouded LW barrel. I haven’t worked with the FX barrels with liners before and I am not sure I would have known what to do. I have heard the choke is integral with the their design so it’s...

I guess I can post one more. This is a 2240 built from leftovers: Steel Crosman breech, Crosman 140 barrel cut down. I modified the valve and the trigger. Now it makes 12ftlb on CO2.

This gun sure looks sweet! I am currently working on an old Logun Domin8tor which is a rebranded FX Cutlas. I have resealed the airtube and added an aftermarket Altaros regulator. I also cleaned and polished the barrel by chucking the barrel into my fishing rod wrapping machine (no belt on the...

To be more specific I would say the the 22xx Crosman guns, eg. 2240, 2260, Benjamin Discovery were/are a popular starting place. In my above photo the open frame stock gun is a 2240 base built with a cut down Disco tube and an ASA threaded onto and extended valve plenum. Almost no 2240 parts are...

I started by restoring old Crosman rifles and then proceeded to build my own rifles with some off the shelf parts mixed with parts I machine at home. Occasionally I will design something in CAD and have it 3D printed or cut from aluminum from a quick turn house. I have used old Crosman 160...

She's a fine old piece. I did a reseal and cleaned up the parts as best as I could. The previous owner had stripped the paint from the gun, but I decided to leave it. I think it did 580f/s with 18.13gr-JSB (13.55ftlb). I recall cooking the crap out of the gun 'setting' the seal; not sure if that...

Gents! Thank you for welcome, it's nice to officially be part of the community. I grew up in the 70's in what became silicon valley, as you can imagine it changed quite a bit and a few years ago I moved to Oregon to be close to my wife's family. The one proviso I had in moving is I wanted a...

I just wanted to throw an introduction out there. I have been building and restoring old air rifles for a couple of years now first starting with an old Crosman 101 and then moved on to making a pair of Double Discovery tube PCPs with modified Crosman 160 stocks, huma regs, grav mags, Magnum...

I like to use flex hones sold in different diameter and grit. I am usually just cleaning up airtubes after reworking or during resto work. If you just want to go cheap, get a dowel you can chuck into a drill. Build up a few portions with masking tape to fit the hole, undersizing an area to be...
