Tuning Its been a long time coming with the prod

[dizzums]

after 10 years of serving me well theres a couple of things that i got motivated to catch up on today .. for one i need to de-lead the crown its pretty caked lol .. and ive had a hogged out tp i got from hill i think, years ago im going to put in ... we'll start with the hammer spring screwed all the way in till it clicks then back out 2 turns ... unscrew the length adjust all the way in till it bottoms and get on the chrono, keeping it around 2700 and work our way in on that until it looks gravy ... aaand while we're in there, gonna flip the bolt ovrr to lefthand, been meaning to do that since i got it in 12 ... its high time lol .. yes, rubbing oil on the prod is gonna be fun today lol ...

@dizzums 10 years of service? You’ve gotten your money’s worth and it sounds like a necessary overhaul. How do you intend to de-lead your crown? Do you have a specific performance goal in mind after installing the new TP and adjusting the HS? Which velocity rang e are you going for?

all i wanted was a wee bit more she was alittle anemic, especially ive whacked 'possum size' critters with it a couple of times that laughed at me lol ... not that bad but you get the picture ... so im calling it a success after alittle testing ... she picked up 50-75 fps of squirrel busting goodness and retained her manners ..optimal fill is around 2700 and i get a couple of mags just like before, just alittle more stout yay ..

i found nothing that needed replaced 'today', the breech seal seems a bit hard but it looks and feels good gonna leave it in there till it dies ..

for the barrel and lead cleaning on the crown all i did was rub and patch it with metalophilic oil, *with the breech seal removed* dry patched then put some silicone oil on it ..beautiful

@dizzums Seems simple enough. Good to see you got her back up and gunning

yes, glad it didnt get complicated , it was a good day lol .. simple, maybe not so much, hence why i put off the exercise for years, it should have a noticeable better punch now though, just icing on the cake of an already good gun. ..

That is a good string.

My PRod shoots the same.

I have a regulator for it but I don’t it could be much better so I have not put it in..

That looks good, nice shot string, my Prod is still doing fine, might need a full maintenance next year, I use the Losi Silicone shock oil too, been using it for a long time, I first used it in the shocks on my R/C cars, but then I got rid of those and kept the Oil for the guns, Works great.
