My Revere Safari likes the 13 redesigned, and my Bullshark likes the original 13’s. Both those rifles shoot 10.3gr really well also.

What did you do airgun related today.
- Thread starter Florida_Man
- Start date
I got this pistol Sig 226 co2 a few days ago. The accuracy is dismal at 3+ inches at 15 yards. The barrel is lose from the action. Took it apart last night and set the action halves on the bridgeforth mill. Set the quill to 30 minute and slowly raise the knee to skim cut using a 4" shell mill. Re-assembled it and no more play on the barrel. I seen a few video with guys wrapping electrical tape before clamping, I think this is crude way to do it. Anyway it's refreshing to try new airguns to tinker with.

It was way too hot for me outside today. I decided to chronograph the 13.43 monster redesign and 16.20 beast in the Avenge-X on high. The fill and reg were as seen here. I used 8 shots each indoors.
JSB Exact Monster Redesign 13.43 unsorted averaged 862.0 fps with a SD of 3.68 fps.
The JSB Beast 16.20 averaged 802.6 fps with a SD of 7.42 fps.
This compared to the Benjamin 10.5 Match averaging 955.5 fps with a SD of 1.6 fps.
AA Field Heavy in 10.3 averaged 965.2 with a SD of 1.87.
So the 13.43 and 16.2 are not as consistent but are perhaps more within a speed range they perform more consistent.

We shot a less political (compared to last week's) paintball target which celebrated Aug 29 - National Chop Suey Day. Here is the aftermath:

I went and toured a local club near me. I'm looking forward to getting into the hobby. I used to shoot a lot as a kid but it's been decades and the market looks very different now!

I shot four 30 yard challenge targets including my only 200 so far this year. First I shot a 198 with 17Xs with my Caiman X that wears an Arken EPL-4 6-24 scope and shoots H&N Baracuda 18 pellets at about 910 fps. I noticed my "misses" were mainly on the right so I clicked to compensate. Next I shot a 196 with my P35-177, second best for it this year and overall. It likes the Baracuda FT pellets shooting them at about 880 fps. Last I shot the 200 which has 15Xs. I took one of the left clicks away after the first 4 targets after noticing I was at risk of trading misses on the left for misses on the right. Wind was low most of the day although higher on the 177 target. I kind of don't want to mention it but I also shot a 189 with my P35-22 before the 200. I might need to clean the barrel. That gun gave me my only other 200 last year. 3 good targets out of 4 is pretty good for me, however.

Learning to shoot freehand standing with my new HW95 .20 I'm shooting with Williams peep and a globe front with the circle insert. So far I got about a 4inch group of 20 shots at 25yards with a few hitting the 1/5-inch dot I put on the paper to aim at. Hoping to shrink that down in the next few weeks.

I put the Hera stock on my Atomic. I like it, and the name. The best dog I ever had was named Hera. She passed away 3 years ago.

I couldn't ignore one of my 200 guns (my P35-22) giving me a 189 yesterday so today I started checking screw tightness and cleaned the barrel. I did not find anything loose on the first attempt and shot the attached 186 - worse. But then I thought to check the stock screws. They were loose. I tightened them and shot a 197 (attached) which is equal to the best I've done with this gun this year and 1 point better than it's done with the current Vector Veyron SFP 6-24 scope it wears these days. I shot the first 197 with my Arken EPL-4 which is on the Caiman now. I am much happier with that. I may try another target late this afternoon or evening when the sun is better. In the morning it is in my eyes making shot placement more difficult. The Veyron is also not as clear as the Arken but it's about 2/3 the price of the Arken and smaller and lighter. I think if I'm careful with it I could do a 200. Nice to know the gun is OK. (sorry for the extra holes in the 186, I used it to check things before starting the 197 target. The 186 score is with the original shot into each target)

Restocked ammo box, and are right now charging batteries for chrono.
pellets ( well the light ones ) have been put aside, and i am back with a load of 16 grain slugs - beasts and a few MRD too

I gotta make room. Today and this weekend I am going to rearrange my shop a little. Sell some equipment buy another cabinet I have to plan and make calls. Damn PCP guns crowding everything up.

Shot the Sig 226 for a bit until the sun was too bright to see the green laser, should have ordered the red. Then finished polishing my left hand aluminum breech for 22xx. Made a barrel adapter and thread protector. Excuse the temp barrel band, that's next on cue, the crosman band won't fit as this is 25 mm tube.

I have a Hill hand pump and I don’t like the end of my quick disconnect flapping around. And I don’t want to let it lay on the floor and get dirt or dog hair in it. So I was looking for a cap just to put over the end to keep dirt out. I also wanted a clip to hold it up off the floor but the side goes up and down when you pump and I could not find anything but a zip tie. I found this chair leg end but it was to big. I ended up screwing it to the edge of the base with a single screw. Holds it nicely and it is definitely not over engineered.

Thank you bud figure I still have some important parts I’ll sit back get back working and slowly rebuild but being only self reliant this go around should be much more stable foundation so this never happens again.
I appreciate your positivity and encouragement bud.

Shot the HW44 for earlier, then put another coat of true oil on the pcp pistol build. Then begun making the barrel band for it. Test fit it, will mill the profile later.
