Marked the Uragan 2 .22 as sold. Added some ammo to the carts but I haven't hit buy on anything yet.

Airgun related? Spent way too much time reading through the excellent range of posts on this forum, trying to get a better understanding of this industry.

Read forum posts several times. Received a used HW90. will play with it tomorrow checking gas piston pressure and cleaning and lubricating it. Have some pb issues to work on as well. All while the winter precip happens. Be Well Brothers, dito.

Received a new poppet for a "lego" gun that spring a leak and the poppet cracked and missing a chunk. I was knee deep in a motor swap on the Zturn so the gun will wait until tomorrow. The mower is done just waiting on a hunk of flex pipe for the exhaust.

Airgun related activity today was looking at the Air Venturi Avenge-x with a wood stock in 25 caliber. I want something to shoot at the 100 yard range. I am not much for the Tactical look. I spent the work day watching videos .

put a new vector 3-12-44 on the Akela .177. the LPVO wasn't cutting it for that gun, so I threw it back on the 1322 PCP carbine

if you wait, AR should have the .177 and .22 back in stock. Just have to keep checking website everyday. could even email rich(the owner) and see if he can shed light on when more will be up for sale .

Seems like a good place to shop , and being as you can't do a return I think yeah whatever you buy there must have to work otherwise it would ruin their name. I once bought a refurb from Pyramid , and it was such a nice straight shooter , but it was my first regulated rifle , and the the regulator was not working. The reg screw was broke , so I assume the previous owner tried to adjust it down when it was full of air. I had a feeling it was not a refurb they just sent it out. When I called the Lady there said all the reg screws are broke like that. Anyway they gave me my money back , but I have never even looked at that site again.

Put my fake "lego" 3622 back together with a new poppet. The guts began as a 2260 tube drilled to pin a Disco valve. I chopped and crowned a 362 barrel and modified a Maximus stock to make the overall 36" length of the gun with a pica rail for bipod. I notched the stock for a barrel band. Also used a Disco trigger frame. And a Challenger power adjuster. Topped it with a Hawke 2-7X32 AO scope and added sling studs.
It's a great lightweight back yard 2k pester/plinker. It's loud and proud.

Pretty threads. Mine look just like that…
After several attempts.
You're a step ahead of me techna! My lathes about 70yrs old and manual feed, so those threads were done (carefully and slowly) with taps and dies. Came out OK though, considering.....

I am a terrible machinist. Hate math. Can’t be bothered to remember speeds and feeds. Am scared to trust the dials. Barely can bring myself to believe what the DRO is telling me and have even been known to accidentally zero the wrong axis at the worst possible time. And I trial and error my way through everything. About the only thing I get right without testing first is the part about not feeding flesh into spinny, crushy, grindy, burny, cutty, things. Oddly, I remember getting along with my high school shop teachers real well. I must have either been better at paying attention back then, or was a source of much needed comic relief.
