What did you do airgun related today.

[OldVet]

I did try a thicker o-ring with no luck, I think part of the problem is that the o-ring at the base of the plenum is the exact diameter of the valve stem retaining screw and sits right on the groove between the cap and the inner diameter of the valve housing, the spacer that originally came with the factory huma reg is an ever so slightly larger diameter and actually sits on the flat face of the valve housing and not a few millimeters inward where the valve stem retaining cap screws into the valve housing like it does with the XXL plenum.

I seen a silicone that was not pure it had an additive that made the O ring swell especially for sealing in HP uses. Have you used anything like this.

decided to machine a new slug spider for my fx magazine almost done as the spiders are designed for pellets

What's a slug spider? OldVet wants to know. I want to learn to cast my own slugs someday.

 

[OldVet]

I cast a batch of 150 pellets before 6am this morning.. I only stopped to refill the pot.
What is this thing they call retirement?

The lead pot , or coffee pot lol.
I want to cast my own slugs when I grow up.

I got a used stock from a state sale for a Disco, I refinished it and install on my Fortitude gen2 last night. So I will be zeroing it this morning after coffee.

LOL... we been using K-cups for coffee lately. Set your cup in place, pop in the the k-cup and press "play".

Casting is just another part of the airgun game that I enjoy.

I did some plinking with my PP750. It’s easy to shoot half a tin a day with it.

Yes I refinished with tung oil after I raised the small dents. I strip it 1st, then used steam to raise the dents.

Added about 2 dozen targets on springs. I used the door springs.

I also welded a nub on each side of the spinner from usage.

Here’s the targets at 47 yds. This area is getting a makeover this year.

Sunny, 62 F. Can’t go wrong. Put up 30 mote targets for the Gary. Crow

Put two more coats on the pp700 grip, then cut some more sabs for grips. This one looks promising.

Yes I've heard of the steam thing , and they used one of those old steam irons. The Tung oil is the best used it on an American Walnut custom stock I hand carved for a FAL I built many years ago. Also called China Wood Oil.

Today I picked up some more Scott tanks to post on the classifieds, and received my first Chronograph via Amazon.

Sighted-in a very old Diana 52 .22 and a 2017 Diana 34 Pro Compact (Meisterschutzen) .177 for pack rat duty. Turns out the 52 side cocker suffers more from barrel droop than the break barrel 34. Go figure!
