Sorry guys. It was just to nice today to shoot a springer. 71° today. The warmest day in months. So instead I had to shoot one of my co2 guns. The closest I'll ever come to a PCP. Had one, ended up never used. Sold it. They are not for me. It's going to be nice until Sunday. Then back in the 60°s so its co2 for the next few days. Maybe my Crosman 1100 Thursday 
So back to what I shot. This Artemis CR600W .177 off hand at my cast irons. Mostly the smaller one.

I don’t think there is such a thing as a bad 97. Crow
How often do you oil the leather seal? Crow
Can’t wait for that weather. CrowSorry guys. It was just to nice today to shoot a springer. 71° today. The warmest day in months. So instead I had to shoot one of my co2 guns.

Sorry, you’re lucky man. They got into 2 of my homes. Almost burnt one down. Crow

Had the 124 Sport out. Precision drips from this rifle. 
The gun likes accuracy. My trigger seems tight. Crow

What pellets? Most of the new 30 seem to like the JSB/AA 7.33. My leather sealed Winnie 435 does as well.

No telling how much oil the leather will absorb to saturate it to soften it up depending ng on how dry it was allowed to get. I think thats somthing id want to take down and eyeball . Youd also want to inspect the tube for any scaring of the seal been cocked alot dry and gritty.

I was asking because yesterday I brought out —- I don’t remember it’s name.
Every thing seems to work mechanically. And when cocking I can feel pressure. When I pull the trigger, it just clicks, no release of air. Any idea?

Man, I don’t know anything about that trigger but it sounds like either it’s not releasing the sear or the sear isn’t moving when it does. Hopefully MDriskill and that gang know. Might do a post asking for info. He helped me with my Winnie trigger.
