What did you do airgun related today.

[cavedweller]

What did you do today?

Sort pellets?
Mount a scope?
Shoot a rifle you have not had out in awhile?
Checked some seals?
Checked to make sure all screws are tight?
You name it.

I’m trying to stay away from the buy/receive haha
This thread is to promote what you already have.

I took my Pard NV008 off my Notos and put it on my P35 25 cal. I zeroed using my ZB mount to my required distances. I also set up a camera to alert me to the critters I’m after. There are some larger critters that need some lead at night. I also plan on installing the plenum and barrel kit as well as some buck rail stuff on the notos.

Pulled the old nexus MOA scope and eagle vision adjustable picatinny rings off my wolverine Sapphire
replaced with Athlon Helos BTR Gen2
4-20X50 FFP/ir this time using some 30mm sportsmatch dovetail lows
much happier with the balance

Took the dogs out squirrel hunting with the Veteran, conditions were not great but we managed to get four. Sorry no pics but you know what a dead squirrel looks like.

I tore off 50+ pellets with the PP750. With a bottle and 15rd mag this thing really can get a lot of lead down range. I also shot a 5 round group at paper with my stock Notos

I bought 12 deck of card for future shooting on edge.

 

[OldVet]

Today I modded a Howa picatinny rail, machined a loading port, and began making a bolt. Starting to look like something now.....

This going to be a air rifle of some sort? What caliber. Nice work again tho.

Going to run this on Co2 OldVet. Wanted to build something where the cylinder is concealed in the forend (so it has lines more like a powder burner) and as the cylinder needed to be small to do that ..... you can squeeze more shots from Co2 (sub 12 .22)

I have the 2260 from Crosman. It was a few days later ,Van's the ended production on it. I got 60 shots from a 12 gram CO2.

Nice, what power was that running at? 6 to 7fpe? I've about 40cc of volume (about 28gr of Co2) to play with, similar to a QB78 (bulk filled) so 'IF' I can get a good fill, hoping for 40... to an optimistic 50.... shots per fill at 11fpe (summer use). These figures are loosely based on getting 300fpe per 20gr of Co2 which is well below what some folks claim to get from modded 12gr sets ups.....

I ordered a 22 GK1 regulated. And then another dozen tins of lighter pellets. This is not going th be a high power monster. Just a basement plinker with an occasional pest.

Clean up my 250 27 RF NOE mold yesterday and poured some samples that averaged 27.40. I tested them in the Avenger and they made one hole groups at 25yds, The plan is to fire the Castin' Shack up today and pour a few hundo with the 4 cav mold.
Next on the list will be the 217 24 RF magnums for the .22 guns. Think I'll get the .22 QB bottled gun out to shoot during casting breaks.

Fist batch of 100 or so are tumbling while I speak. I reloaded the pot with the sprues and the mold is back in the oven. I'll get back out and pour another batch then weigh/cull the ones in the tumbler while the next batch tumbles... rinse and repeat.

My favorite color is chocolate like the 1976 Trans Am. Very nice.

Very nice !!

 

[beerthief]

That would probably be the best way to go about it.. I would assume that one would need to be flexible on pricing. Many of the gun shows I've been to seem like a low baller festival.

Some sellers will not budge ,and considering what it would cost to securely package and send and the time and travel that would ensue , low balling is not such a big price difference . I mean a Fair low balling offer .

Sat in the cold waiting for squirrels.........no luck.

 

[Peashooter]

Lend 2 gauges to my M8, so he can gauge if it is possible to put a larger gauge on his M30, cuz those stock ones

Two different size gauges, a 28 mm that came off my Two and then the factory reg gauge that came with the maverick that is a bit smaller.
Of course the M30 is probably M8 thread, this just to test what gauge size might be possible

Worked on another old CB...

Spring is in the air.. The birds and the bees and apparently the squirrels

Did a little mocking up, and VERY happy with how this build might end up looking
